Did you use one?  I had a red plaid with a thermos - thought I was so cool.

Back in 1965, 1st grade, I had a red metal lunch box with a red thermos inside....I couldn't wait to open it to smell the aroma of a fried bolonga sandwich, shoe string potatoes & a banana.  My thermos was filled with strawberry kool-aid....what memoriesHeart

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

My parents did not allow us to take lunch to school. They thought the food would spoil. Consequently, I never had a lunch box. Lunch was a quarter at school and it was good. My parents lost their first child at 19 months old due to vomiting/dehydration. I am sure that was the reason we were not allowed to take food to school. They were afraid it would spoil and we would get sick. 

Now, I work as a home health nurse in Florida. I work out of my car most of the time. I have a Yeti hopper 8 soft sided cooler. It was expensive but so worth it. With some ice packs, it keeps my food and drinks cool all day in the hot car.

I tried other brands, like RTIC and Stanley. My Yeti is the best, I have had it over 2 years and it cleans up like new too. 

The Yeti is worth it, and sometimes they go on sale on the Yeti website.

Yes! Gaily covered in prints; I don't think I had any "themed" ones. The thermos lining was glass and sometimes broke so I had to be careful and check before I took that first sip! Smiley Very Happy

@I am still oxox I went home for lunch probably about half the time.  Such a different era!

I broke a "Thermos" on numerous occasions by treating the lunchbox roughly.

 

You could hear the glass by shaking the container.
