CLEAR LAKE, Calif. (UPI) -- A California woman said her new memorabilia shop doubles as a museum to display the nearly 700 lunchboxes she collected during the past 25 years.
Debbie Clarke, 52, a former middle school teacher, said The Lunchbox Museum, her weeks-old pop culture memorabilia store in Clear Lake, features lunchboxes emblazoned with teen idols, TV shows, toys and other pictures in cases and shelves safely away from the reach of curious shoppers, The Sacramento (Calif.) Bee reported.
"People come in, and they're blown away because there's so many lunchboxes," Clarke said. "Then they start to look for the lunchboxes they owned as kids. They say, 'It's like walking back in time.'"
Customers said they find it difficult to leave the store.
"I think this is charming," browser Rose Marie Petkovich said. "You can't walk in and just walk out."
