School kids carry cell phones and iPods, but their thermoses still leak and their sandwiches still get squished just like mine used to in the metal Cinderella lunchbox I carried in the second grade. In all this time, you'd think someone would have come up with a lunch carrier that fits neatly into a backpack, keeps food hot or cold, and looks like it belongs in this century. The people at Built NY must have been reading my mind when they came up with the BYO Lunchbag, a unique looking lunch carrier made of wetsuit material, which opens up into a placemat. You can also throw it in the wash. It sells for $25.99 on Built NY's website and comes in these four splashy colors.
