Remember when you got your first lunch box? It was probably boxy, sturdy, and not much to look at. Chances are, come break-time, you hid it out of view and tucked it under your arm while eating your sandwich.
These days, lunch boxes are seen as fashion accessories, carried like a badge of honour around the playground or the office.
Lunch boxes have come a long way. And they're not just for kids anymore.
