The THERMOS FUNTAINER 16oz Neon Orange is a vacuum-insulated stainless steel food jar with a foldable spoon that keeps kids' meals hot or cold for hours.

This compact, brightly colored food jar is designed for school lunches and on-the-go snacks, combining vacuum insulation with a kid-friendly lid and integrated utensil. The 16-ounce capacity fits hearty portions for elementary and middle schoolers, while the wide-mouth opening makes filling, eating and cleaning easier.

How long will food stay hot or cold in the FUNTAINER?

The THERMOS vacuum insulation maintains hot foods for several hours and keeps cold foods chilled longer than standard containers. Performance varies with initial food temperature and ambient conditions, but it’s engineered for multi-hour school-day needs.

• Hot retention: designed to keep food warm for up to about 7 hours
• Cold retention: can keep contents cold for around 9 hours
• Best practice: preheat or pre-chill with hot/cold water for 5–10 minutes before packing

What features make it easy for kids to use at school?

The FUNTAINER combines a push-button lid, a wide-mouth opening and a built-in foldable stainless-steel spoon so children can open, eat and close their lunch independently. Its compact shape fits most standard lunch boxes and leaves room for other items.

• Integrated foldable spoon stored in the lid for convenience
• Push-button lid for simple one-handed opening
• Wide mouth for easy scooping, filling and cleaning

Is the container durable and safe for daily use?

Made from 18/8 stainless steel with double-wall vacuum insulation, the FUNTAINER resists dents and everyday wear while remaining lightweight. It’s BPA-free and designed to stay cool on the outside even when filled with hot foods.

• 18/8 stainless steel body for long-lasting durability
• BPA-free materials, safe for food contact
• Sweat-proof exterior to prevent condensation in lunch bags

How do I clean and prepare the FUNTAINER for best results?

Rinse, wash or load the jar in the dishwasher’s top rack, though hand washing is recommended to preserve gaskets and finish. For optimal temperature performance, rinse the jar with hot or cold water and let sit 5–10 minutes before adding food.

• Top-rack dishwasher safe, hand washing recommended
• Preheat or pre-chill with tap water for 5–10 minutes to improve retention
• Ensure lid and seal are dry before closing to maintain leak resistance
