Vault-Tec lunchbox

The Vault-Tec lunchbox is a miscellaneous item in Fallout 4. When interacted with it spawns a random item and becomes collectable.

Characteristics
A Vault-Tec branded lunchbox with depictions of Vault-Tec propaganda and various versions of Vault Boy. The inside of the lunchbox has faint drawings of children's faces on the front and rear of the box. These drawings are difficult to see under normal circumstances, as the lunchbox is usually thrown around upon opening, and players often pick the item up immediately without inspecting it. Occasionally, a lunchbox will have a sticker decal, or the name of a child on the front or back. It is currently unknown whether the appearance of decals and names is randomized.

Each lunchbox contains a randomly selected item, spitting out confetti and releasing objects ranging anywhere from junk items like a fork or plastic knife, to the rarer items such as ice cold Nuka Cola Quantum, or a collectible model. In some cases the lunchboxes may release primed explosives, which will detonate and injure the Sole Survivor if not disarmed.
