Try this: the one-piece stainless steel Planet Box. My daughter uses it, it works great, no lids to wash, no trash is generated. Gender-neutral red (thank god no blue and pink) and will hold a variety of snacks and a sandwich as well, all without wrappers. US company.

I agree these look creepy and more importantly where are these things manufactured and what’s that icky silver material? Looks pretty unhealthy to have your kids eat lunch off of?!

For an Eco-friendly lunchbag solution check out the Hero Bags lunch bags – made in USA out of organic cotton it’s also machine washable and was selected as ‘the green lunch bag’ favorite by the SF Chronicle check them out at http://www.herobags.com

For something a little less creepy, check out the Japanese tradition of Furoshiki.

No clutter there and you can carry everything from books to lunch to bottles of Coke safely and easily with them.

I’ve got the little dog one, use it for bring-fruit-only days. It’s not big enough for a full salad lunch. But it cleans up nice.

Had no idea that it completely unzips and looks like a diaper, that’s a little unsettling…

So cute! My favorite is the tiger. I’m forwarding this to my kid-having friends. And I don’t think they’re creepy at all!

The little dog is cute…the other ones are kind of creepy. Neat idea though!

I am a full blown grown up who happens to own the tiger. Great little lunchbox that keeps food warm from the microwave to my desk. The flattening element is handy for eating as well as storing. It is small though which can be great for portion control but don’t expect to cram a Hungry Man dinner in there.

Er… I’ll pass.
Unwrapped they look too much like a Techno-Diaper for me to think of eating off ‘em. I’m with Deb, the faces do look creepy.

These look great – has anyone used them? Do they work well? I wonder if the kids are able to put them back together once they’re folded flat. If that’s not a problem, then they would be a good gift item.
