Finally, some genius came up with a lunch bag that’s also an ice pack. Throw the bag in your freezer at night and it’ll keep your lunch fresh during the day. It’s roomy enough to fit a water bottle inside and closes with Velcro on top (bonus for little hands still working on fine motor skills). They come in jazzy prints, too!
But does buying a $20 lunch bag make you want to throw up a little? Because we know certain kids, ahem, who’ve lost enough lunch bags that they wind up toting takeout bags to school. And they do just fine. Hey, we all used brown paper sacks and somehow survived.
