Where are the parents in all of this? (Yes, I realise it’s a silly question, but it’s usually Mom who makes those decisions.) My mother tended to buy “cute” lunchboxes while everyone else was carrying TV tie-in stuff. But you could always get away with Snoopy lunchboxes, guys and girls both.
We used lunch boxes through 3rd grade. After that, it wasn’t cool and we switched to brown bags. I still have fond memories of my Alvin and the Chipmunks lunchbox from 1st grade.
This is funny: For 1st and 2nd grade I got to go home for lunch, but then we moved. 3rd grade at my new school, my mother bought me a shiny, new lunchbox, and the other kids called me a “baby” for it, because all of the “mature” kids brown-bagged it. Here’s the punchline: It was a “Peanuts” lunchbox!
I never did understand those uncool brown bags. Those things were what the schools gave out on field trips which everyone, even those kids who brought the brown bags to school for regular lunch, complained about. And the kids who did brown bag always ended up with a crushed lunch.
Where (and when) I went to school all of the kids went home for lunch. And yet every year there would be lunch boxes for sale in the stores. As for all of those “mature” kids who laughed at you when you had a lunch box and they had the more mature brown bag, compare the prices for a vintage lunch box on eBay with those for vintage brown paper lunch bags.

I use the brown lunch bags to cover my tomatoes. It’s the only thing I’ve found to keep the birds from eating them.

Just tell your sister that she will start her own trend in school and others will follow her lead to join in.

Sally needs to learn to be her own person. Dare to stand out.

Ironically lunch boxes are coming back in style as a environmentally friendly way to avoid throwing away a paper bag every day.
