Did anyone here grow up with these things? I feel like a lot of you may be too young to have experienced this rite of passage, or maybe nothing like them existed in your part of the world.

Yes had like 10 of them in my life
Transformers.
Know well first three ๐ค
Those things did not exist where I grew up
๐ฏ pretty sure I had at least 2 of the 4. Good times!
Yes! Donโt forget the coveted Star Wars and muppet show.
This is the one I had for a very long time.

I had a TMNT one. Was weirdly self-conscious about it.
I was so into TMNT. I used to study the original comic books for hours because I wanted to be a professional cartoonist when I was a kid.
They were plastic by the time I existed, but I had one with Ninja Turtles on it.
The metal ones made the best sound when you banged on them after they were empty. Iโd keep mine until they were all dented and falling apart. Everything just rolled around inside so by lunchtime my sandwich looked like it has been dropped off a cliff and stomped on by an elephant.
Canโt recall what was on my metal one.. but it was replaced by ALF. sadly ALF was plastic.
We were poor. I had one of these 
You werenโt really poor unless your lunch bags had the name of the budget supermarket printed on them.
