Thanks, Paul! Ah yes!!! Those lunchboxes and the vulnerable thermoses!! My folks finally gave up trying to replace them - they would put a straw and a dime wrapped up in a bit of paper in my lunchbox, so I could buy a carton of milk from the vending machine.
(Sometimes, I would cheat. I'd have a drink of water from the outside fountain in lieu of milk, and buy a fudgesickle instead.)
