Well, I don't feel hungry, but I ought to eat my sandwich.
I'm eating this so late. What if it had gotten warm and gone bad?*
My lunch box thing was unzipped, after all.
But the lid was down, so it should be good.
I mean, even if it was zipped, the zipper would be the weak point in the insulation.
Imagine if closing one of these completely cut off the inside from the outside.
Like, it formed a pocket universe, and then reconnected it when you wanted to get in.
That would work really good.
Wait, that would work perfectly!
Cause the universe would be a closed system. No energy could escape.
So the only temperature exchange would be among the items you put in, and a little air that got in too.
Hot stuff would stay perfectly hot, cold stuff perfectly cold!
Though the use of pocket universes as thermoses seems a bit frightening in its frivolousness.
Now how do I add an object to the MIB table again?
Later: No, the temperature could change. If there were nuclear, chemical, or mechanical reactions, they could change the temperature without changing the overall energy level.
If nuclear, chemical, or mechanical reactions are happening, you've gt bigger worries than the temperature of your food.
*seeing as I felt like crap just a little later, the sandwich actually may have gone bad.
Oh, I forgot to mention last post: metal knuckles, shuriken, and nunchukas are all illegal in California. Well, nunchukas are legal in a licensed self-defense training place, but it seems silly for it to be legal to teach people to use a weapon while making it illegal to actually posses it otherwise.

I think you're the only person I know who would come up with the idea of creating a pocket universe for a lunchbox . . . or think about nuclear reactions in your lunchbox, for that matter . . .
I feel like my work has refrigerators in our break room, and so all these problems are avoided. And they're even just normal refrigerators. No pocket universes required.

Stephen, I love the stream of consciousness factor. Very cool.
I keep my pocket universe (ahh...food) in my desk drawer it works great because I eat every 2 hours to stay awake at work.
I swear my friends have pocket universe purses. Sort of a Mary Poppins thing, I guess; I've never been sure how that works. But then, I'm not a purse-carrying type of girl. If I forgot to take gum or mints in my messenger bag, I will just kill other people and take theirs.
