I always found school lunches stinky. Must be something with sitting
in a bag or lunch box for several hours. I never had the problem when
I worked construction but I used a cooler and blue ice packs.

Bananas, tuna and eggs salads etc are going to have a smell no matter
how fresh or cold they are. A couple weeks ago Louise got me a tuna
salad sandwich at the Tampa airport to eat on the plane. When I
opened the bag and saw what she got I was shocked she did that but I
was starving so I opened and ate it but as soon as I was done I put
the wrapper in the bag and tied it shut and got the attendant to take
it away.

I worked in a building that had a guy who ate tuna almost every day.
He had a private office and didn't want it smelling after he ate so he
put the can in the men's room garbage. That didn't last very long
once we figured out who was doing it.
