Hi CDM, Bento is actually not plastic but fabric. Technically it is CARB-certified MDF board and high-quality polyester if you really want to know ;) Thanks! Erin

Hi Loreena, I am so sorry that you are disappointed. Our blog is written by employees and guest writers who take time out of their lives to share their organization stories. It is a volunteer effort that is not in their job descriptions. The purpose is to share tips and stories as we all work to set up systems in our homes to be organized. It is a snap shot of real life. While we do have at least two people read every blog post, just like our homes in the photographs, we are not perfect and may miss a spelling mistake or two, and I am sure our high school teachers cringe at some of our grammar mistakes. We hope that the connections and advice we share on this blog with our consumers are worth more than an annoying spelling or grammar mistake. I know I have learned so much from interacting with the people on this blog and I hope I am helping people as much as they are helping me. I would not be able to do that if we paid for professional photography or proof-reading on this blog (because then we would not have a blog). Thank you for being a fan of Rubbermaid and I hope you learned something from the post despite the spelling and grammar. Thanks, Erin

Hi Rebecca, Unfortunately, I do not know of a solution to storing liquids in hot cars. They will just always have the likelihood of expanding and popping the lid open. For your car, keep hand sanitizing wipes and alcohol wipes. I would keep the lotion and chap stick in your purse. Hope that helps, Erin
