The Best Lunch Boxes For Grown Men
Because your snacks need to be taken care of, too.
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.
