Talk:Lunch box

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Contents 1 Slang 2 is a relatively new addition to American pop culture. Although the idea of a lunch box, a container used for carrying food, has been around as long as time, it wasn't until the 20th century that they became a staple of American youth, and in turn, a marketable product in the eyes of the manufacturers. 3 Vandalism 4 a ridiculous line 5 NPOV & Cleanup 6 Can this link be added?

[edit] Slang

References to sexual slang in this article are off-topic and should be deleted as part of the article clean-up. It seems that no matter what word or phrase one names, someone will claim to know a slang meaning for it, ad absurdum. Quicksilver^{T @} 04:51, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

So from the very first sentence of the introduction, we're talking exclusively about America? Am going to alter this slightly, move stuff down. 57.66.51.165 14:57, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

151.199.193.37 has repeatedly vandalized this page, and seems determined to continue doing so when the current block expires. Perhaps it needs to be semi-protected or the account blocked for a longer period of time? Given that the user has a history of vandalism, I'm thinking semi-protection for this page would only cause this culprit to switch to a different page.

[edit] a ridiculous line

Not interested enough to edit, but the phrase "but companies now moved to plastic and vinyl as a means of feeding the public" makes it sound like we eat plastic and vinyl. Afabbro 16:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV & Cleanup

This article seems to have been written by a lunch box 'aficionado' and is riddled with stylistic problems. It's style is more narrative than encyclopedic. Lines like: "Whether for financial or other reasons, the lunch box as we had grown to know and love was dead." and "1950s bottles were works of art, but their 1980s distant cousins seemed nothing more than a required piece." both scream of a lack of NPOV. Adding the NPOV check template to the top of the article, as well as the cleanup tag. Kajmal (talk) 05:16, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Can this link be added?

It's difficult to tell what links can be added...would this one be ok?
