About Lunch Boxes
Lunch boxes have come a long way since children began using containers to carry their lunches to school in the 1800s. Whether you are shopping for a lunch box for your child or seeking a classic box to add to or begin your collection, you can learn something new about them here.- History
- During the last quarter of the 19th century, lunch boxes came into use by working men who could not afford to purchase a hot lunch or did not have time to rush home and eat. These boxes were industrial in make and appearance, similar to a small toolbox. Children began emulating the practice, creating lunch boxes using colorful cookie tins or metal tobacco containers. In the early 1900s, children's lunch boxes appeared on the retail market, sporting illustrations of children playing.
- Function
- Lunch boxes, also known as lunch kits, were created and marketed as a way for children to carry homemade lunches to school. The boxes were seen as a way to keep lunches fresher as well as keeping sandwiches and treats from being crushed, unlike paper lunch sacks. Lunch kits, which included vacuum bottles, commonly known by the brand name Thermos, allowed mothers to send cold beverages or hot soups with their children, making them a hit with both parents and kids.
- Types
- There are now several different types of lunch boxes available. In the 1950s, Aladdin and Thermos began selling rectangular metal lunchboxes decorated with popular television characters. Dome-shaped metal boxes emerged in the latter part of the '50s, mimicking workmen's lunch pails but bearing popular, child-friendly artwork. The 1960s saw the emergence of trendy vinyl lunchboxes. Currently, lunch boxes are typically made from soft, insulated foam materials such as neoprene. Hard plastic boxes are also available.
- Features
- Vintage metal lunchboxes featuring pop culture icons such as cartoons, westerns and movies are collectibles. Lunch boxes with rust, scratches, holes or dents are worth much less than those in better condition. Any original straps or handles should be present and in good repair, as well as small parts such as hinges. Buyers seeking to collect classic lunch boxes should check for copyright dates on those that appear like new. Many "retro" lunchboxes have been made, and a novice buyer could be fooled into purchasing a cheap reproduction.
- Expert Insight
- Collecting lunch boxes goes beyond finding and purchasing them. Once someone has begun his collection, caring for the lunch boxes is an imperative part of protecting that investment. Water damages metal lunch boxes, and direct sunlight can fade and discolor vinyl, plastic or metal versions. Allowing dust and grime to build up on them can also be harmful. Lunch boxes of any type should be periodically washed with mild dish soap and warm water and then dried completely.
How to Choose a Lunch Box?
- Consider what you'll use the lunch box to carry. Use a tough metal or plastic lunch box to protect foods that can bruise, break or smush. If you plan to pack your foods in plastic containers, a soft lunch bag is fine.
- Choose a lunch box or lunch bag that is large enough to accommodate all your items without having them move around when jostled.
- Consider how you'll be handling your lunch box. If you'll have to fit it in your backpack or book bag, a hard exterior will keep your food from being squashed.
- Purchase a soft-bodied, insulated lunch bag if you'll be carrying items that need to be kept cool or hot. Few hard-shell lunch boxes offer insulation.
- Purchase an insulated beverage container (either with the lunch box or separately) just in case you decide to bring along a little soup, coffee or another beverage.
- Think about the image you'd like to project to your coworkers and companions, and choose your lunch box accordingly. Most plastic and metal lunch boxes will carry images of some sort, including superheroes, cartoon characters and even political figures.

08-23-2011- Other Thoughts: I bought two of these hoping the novel (for us) form factor would inspire us to bring lunch more often than going out. For that, it has certainly succeeded. It works well, the insulation sleeve does indeed keep things nice and cool (we haven't tried hot). The bowls clean up nicely and we haven't had a problem with them retaining odors, but we are pretty careful with them. Soup/liquid will leak a bit out of the bottom container if you aren't careful, which can be frustrating, but I have not had any kind of spill or horrible disaster because of it. <br/> <br/>One thing to consider: it is essentially fancy - and expensive - Tupperware. For cold, it isn't rated to keep things out of the danger zone for terribly long (according to the product documentation), and it would be difficult to get an ice pack involved short of freezing some water in the top-most container. If you are concerned with a lot of 'function' my guess would be that you could find something more appropriate at a lesser price point than this. However, if style is important to (as it was for us), this is just too cool.

06-29-2011- Other Thoughts: My kid who is 8 years old loved it so much. We had some issues about lunch time at her school and now it looks like it is gonna be overeaten hopefully! It is a great product within in simple use.

07-19-2011- Other Thoughts: I'm trying to eat more healthy at work. The Mr. Bento lunch jar has been just the ticket. I can bring salads, soup, chicken breasts and other items from home and the hot items stay hot. Admittedly, when the lunch jar first arrived, I thought the individual containers looked smaller than I had imagined, and I am sure others may agree. However, I quickly discovered that the container sizes in the lunch jar help me appropriately size my portions. When I fill the soup container with soup, it is actually equivalent to one serving listed on the nutruition label of my favorite V8 soup. In the past, I would have downed the whole V8 package which would have been the equivalent of two servings.

06-13-2011- Other Thoughts: My son now has hot lunch at school. Limited in use so I just tailor his lunch to the box. Today he is having a cheeseburger. He always says it was hot. I just put hot water in the base. Only with oodles of noodles do I actually put soup in the bottom. Very glad I made the purchase. I will be getting one for myself. Probably three larger bowls instead of four for me. The four are perfect for my son though!

Awesome Insulation Lunch Box if you like to take more elaborate lunches
Overall:
- Other Thoughts: This is a great Stainless Steel Lunch Box. As other reviewers have said, you need to put the right things in the right containers in order to keep them hot or cold (whichever you're trying to do). <br/> <br/>The second container up from the bottom has a much thicker lid than the rest of the containers in order to keep the temperatures separated better. The top two containers sit just under the closed lid and above the top of the large outer container. <br/> <br/>The lid is a heavier weight plastic snap on (two snap latches). <br/> <br/>The top two containers are like tupperware with snap on lids. <br/> <br/>The second one up from the bottom is the one I explained above with the thick twist in lid (not screw on, but it does lock into place). <br/> <br/>The bottom container is the "soup" container although I don't use it for that. I put V8 in it and it doesn't leak on account of an airtight screw on lid with vent. <br/> <br/>I can see how some people don't enjoy cleaning this. I would say that you probably have to use a scrub brush to clean it effectively. That's what I've been using and it takes me about five minutes to wash the whole setup. <br/> <br/>The plastic will probably start to take on the smells of the food after awhile. I'm actually looking forward to this happening because I have a feeling that an overnight soak in vinegar will remove both the stains and smells. <br/> <br/>Hope this helps!
