The Best Lunch Boxes & Bags For Men Who Bring Food to Work
The first worksite lunch boxes were more than mere meal transporters. Heavy duty latched metal pails, they were rugged carriers built to endure the perils of the coal mine, construction site, or quarry. They were also an indication that one couldn’t afford a hot meal but eventually became an emblem of the working class. Today’s lunch boxes for adults, while a bit less heavy duty (plastic is now the favored material) are still tough.
