This military lunch box design from ThinkGeek adds a macho edge to a regular human activity: eating lunch. The metallic manly lunch box is ammo-inspired, providing a sturdy carrying case for a large meal. This is perfect for intimidating bullies to keep out of school lunches or storing your food at your place of work. The 175 square inch tin is fairly roomy, allowing lots of food for growing boys, hungry men and females who refuse to buy into girly lunch box conventions. However, the metal military lunch box contains small parts, and is therefore intended for children aged 6 and up. It is not meant for anyone under the age of 3.
The case reads 'Ammo Lunch' on one side and has space for the owner's name, rank and squad on the opposite side.
