Which material would be best to use for my lunch sack?

Example Choice: Rubber
Based on the characteristics of this material, why would this material be best to use for my lunch sack?
Based on the characteristics of rubber, rubber would be best to use for my lunch sack because it is flexible, so I know I can squeeze it in my backpack if I need to. It is also strong, which is good so that my food would break my sack. I also like how it's not transparent so other classmates won't know what I packed for lunch. It's good that it is waterproof because if my drink accidentally spills, it wont get my backpack wet or my hands wet if I am carrying it. Rubber also isn't very heavy so that's good, too.
