When I went off to work like a dutiful little daughter at age 18 Mom gave me
a Tupperware lunch box. I still have some pieces of it around. It was a
square that held a sandwich holder, a container for some fruit and a drink
holder, sort of an adult "sippy cup" which every 18 year old should have.
(laughing) They all fit together in a nice little lunch box container. I
see they don't sell those anymore. Probably because they were totally
embarrassing even if I'd been 8 instead of 18. They do sell lunchbox things
and yes, from the photo it has a place for a juice-box! Oh goody!

Cathy, you're absolutely right. Rubbermaid and some of the knock-offs are
cheaper than Tupperware, you don't have to host (or attend) a "party" to buy
them. They work just as well, if not better.
