I saw this lunchbox on Boing Boing and it made me remember the time the gf and I were in a liquor store here in Johnson City. We perused the wine section and ended up picking out a Merlot and a Pinot of some sort and we were at the register paying for our bottles of vino. I looked behind the counter and I saw all the little airline sized bottles of liquor and I said to my gf, "Look honey, they're making lunchbox sized bottles of liquor now!" She gave me the usual dirty look she gives me when I say stupid shit in public but I kept right on, mainly because there was a uniformed cop chatting with the cashier. "I bet the kids would love a bottle or two in their lunchboxes. It might make them less hyper." For some reason I was the only one who laughed, my gf rolled her eyes, the cashier was stone faced, and the cop eyed me warily.

Saying stupid shit in public is one of my favorite pastimes. I consider eye rolls and looks of disgust to be like little trophies.
omg that's totally something i would have said.
I do shit like that all the time- my husband just pretends I'm "challenged" like that.
Those little airplane bottles aren't really for kid's lunchboxes. They're REALLY for putting in kids' trick or treat bags for Halloween.
I'm starting to wonder if you are my husband. This is exactly the kind of thing he would say. Then I would look at him like he was an idiot and he would say, "What?"
It that wasn't from the 60s, it'd be disgusting. Oh who am I kidding, it still it. Jeez.

That could run into money pretty quick, no?
I do the same thing with my 18-yo daughter. Mortification is a strength-training exercise.
