American English:
Hose (possibly garden hose, but typically just hose)
Race Car
Fridge (only because it is shorter. Refrigerator is also commonly used)
mini-fridge (always fridge here, never mini-refrigerator)
Packed lunch if you packed it at home, boxed lunch it if is provided by a caterer at some event or possibly purchased at a shop.

I'm Dutch and my English has evolved from all over the place, but here is what I would use:
Garden hose
Racing car
Fridge
Mini Fridge
Packed lunch for the actual food, lunch box (so the other way around) for the container it goes in.
