last year i bought the soft kind of lunch box with the vinyl lining. My kids had a few spills or put back a few messy containers and i had a dickens of a time getting the nastyness out of the corners and the seams of the lining. This year i am thinking of going with the hard plastic ones that are more like the traditonal metal ones i had when i was young. Does anyone know were i can get one, and will they hold up, specifically the hinges? Anyone have a favorite type of lunch box that is easy to clean and lasts the whole year???
laptop lunches sells bento type lunch boxes. if you google it it should bring up the web site.
After a few years of cleaning grossness out of lunch boxes and having to retrieve them from the lost & found when they were left behind I've given up on lunch boxes. I buy the brown paper bags - when it's warm and I need to keep their food chilled I freeze the juice box or bottle of water the night before. I raelize it's not all that "green" but using all the windex and paper towels to clean out stickiness and then throwing out the lunch box wasn't very green either. With the paper bags everyone's lunch is made the night before and initials are scrawled on the side and the bags are in the fridge (juice boxes in the freezer if needed). It works out wonderfully!
