Is wrapping a bacon sandwich in foil the best way to keep it hot?

Ok, so I was late for work today (as usual), and I had my bacon sandwich in my pocket so that I could eat it when I got there. Anyway, I had wrapped it up in aluminium foil and as I was walking down the road, I thought to myself "was there a better way?".

The way I saw it was that metal conducts heat right, so if had a hot bacon butty, then much of the heat would be transferred to the metal and then lost radiated into the surroundings. However if I had my sandwich in a Tupperware container that is an insulator, then the heat would remain in the vicinity of the sandwich. Am I right? If not, which is better for containing a hot substance?

Put the sandwich in the Tupperware, and then wrap that with foil to reflect the heat back to the sandwich. The best of both worlds.

If you remembered to wrap the foil with the shiny side going inside, you'd be okay for a while.

I can only imagine the surprised look on the face of that hot chick in your workplace who asked you "Is that a bacon sandwich in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" and you said "bacon sandwich, baby !"

Unfortunately I never got to use that line. I am a manager so I had to be in an hour before anyone else was there. Otherwise I would have gladly used the bacon roll to stimulate innuendo filled conversation.
