Yep. Rubbermade, actually. The flat 5"x5"x2 kind. It fits in my trunk back the best.

As for the food, it's always leftovers from dinner. I don't like sandwiches. If I drive, I will cart in a whole week of lunches (which I always like because then I don't have to huck a couple of extra pounds of food to work on the bike). If I drive I can also bring soft fruit like peaches and pears.

I found out a long time ago that soft fruit is a very poor choice for lunchtime if it has to come in on the back of a bike. Apples and oranges travel very well but peaches, pears and plums get icky quickly.
