156. 1970's Metal Lunchboxes With a Glass-Lined Thermos
For children. Inside a metal lunch box. Didn't matter if it was Barbie, Hong Kong Fooey, or Hot Wheels; the Thermos bottle had a glass lining.

It took the lunchbox people around eight years or so figure out that it was a bad idea. See also 70's, Children, Schools.
