Damn. It's 2021 and I'm looking for a old school lunch box. Your video popped up in the search first. I'm buying this. Not only because it looks awesome but because the way you said, " You pull this out you gonna be king of the lunch room". Great video, thanks for the info. Cheers!

As one who used one daily since I was old enough to carry one around 6 years old I believe . Going with dad on daily fishing trips but it was not a Stanley it was a Roy Rodgers box did not get a Stanley until later and then it was of to school and now at 77 it brings back good memories thanks . Happy Trails

I’ve got one, they’re great, my work colleagues always comment - but its practicality knows no bounds.

Love your enthusiasm for well made kit!

Just ordered one! Looking forward to using this beastly box!

Costco sold these years ago. You're right they're iconic but have two huge faults. First the flasks are know to leek, not a good thing considering you store it on its side. The 2nd huge problem is the box itself is metal and on a hot day it acts like an oven.

Also got one, it has got a few dents.
But i don’t care I think it looks better that way, it shows character.

I’ve got same, one particular Stanley bottle I have fits well and holds a quart. People notice, metal boxes are rare.Enjoy.

Pros:
1) iconic
2) It’s huge and metal
3) multi purpose use for other stuff than as a lunch box as he mentioned
4) If you want your food hot, place it in the sun & treat it like an oven
5) If you want to keep your drinks & food cold on a cool or cold season leave your lunch box outside in the shade
6) Use as a weapon

Cons:
1) No insulation to prevent food from spoiling faster
2) Bad when it’s hot which will make your food spoil faster or hot like an oven & to the touch, also toxin to the food from the metal & paint
3) dent and rust
4) it’s not weather conditions proof
5) limited on what food containers can fit inside
6) if you don’t have a flask or drinks in the top lid which I wouldn’t put in there due to leakage, waste of space unless you can find round tops, etc plastic bags…
4) Can’t put ice or it’ll rust
5) not stainless steel
6) not quiet with the metal sound; terrible to carry on you during a state of an emergency and in hiding
7) Can’t store other things on top

I prefer the insulated lunchbox and flexible storage it can expand and protect the food. Also treat it as a cooler if needed by adding ice or ice pack or leave it in a cold place or temperature. It also protect food a little longer than placing it in a metal box in the vehicle. And it’s quieter. No one will know you have food or present.

If I were to buy metal box, I prefer it to be a square shape and flat at the top. So then I can store other stuff on top. No space is wasted. I’ll use it for storage not for food.

the 1 litre food flask (not the 1 litre drink flask) also fits well.

You're totally bonkers, man. I love that lunchbox.

[andrewhughes]

Just ordered one...I have no idea how I managed without it.

[deidjera]

Is this the lunchbox the men sitting on that girder in that iconic photo used?

[franccape]

If they made this insulated it would be the perfect lunchbox

[indianprepper]

Can we use as a cook food in it ??? after all it a metal box

[stevek]

They're nostalgic but nothing beats an insulated box. What the hay it's the twentieth century.

Like the great and I mean great author, Carson McCuullers, carried her Sunny Boy cocktail, brandy and hot tea.

This lunch box just screams 1950's blue collar toxic masculinity. I love it. I bet my grandfather, the road construction foreman, used one. I bet my other grandfather, the logger turned grader operator, used one as well. You know, when men were men and did real jobs, of real benefit to humanity, not effete, milquetoast social media managers or post-modern critical navel-gazing theory consultants 😏😏😏

I feel life would be easier if it was just an inch or 2 wider. Had mine for a couple years now and some containers are a bit tricky
