I definitely had one of those in elementary/middle school. In pink. My mom used to pack pastas and soups and stuff in it. I think she still uses it from time to time. But that thing lasted for EVER. And the combination fork/spoon - a pain to clean if you don't have a dishwasher, but it goes through the dishwasher well enough. It wasn't too difficult to use (of course, I still have smaller than average hands, so my itty-bitty child hands might not be the best gauge for that)
