Dad's in the USA at the moment, so I have an opportunity to use US Amazon and have him bring things home that are normally too expensive/unable to ship to Australia.
So, I'm looking to get my wife a new lunch box. And even accounting for our American friends' love of putting adjectives in front of any consumer product, I have to say the phrase "tactical lunchbox" just makes me giggle.
"I'm far too manly to carry around a lunch box!"
"But, it's a tactical lunch box, dear."
"Oh. Well, that's ok, then! I will take my tactical lunch box to work in a very manly fashion!"
Food stays fresher longer if there's an american flag and a picture of a bald eagle on the front. God forbid that any ignorant person should call these a, a, a, a 'handbag'!
That looks so cool ...lol
