Lunchbox Bag Good for a Laugh

Posted by: Meg In: Lunchbox Products

moldy_bag_2 In searching for lunchbox products I came across a good laugh. In this case, it is a set of baggies made to look like you have a moldy lunch.  Unbelievably, there are some people who work in an environment where their lunch gets stolen out of the office fridge. To me, this seems both 1) mean (for obvious reasons) and 2) gross.  Do the stealers really want an unknown coworker to have unknowingly made their lunch? Who knows how many times the coworker licked their fingers making the sandwich–after all it was supposed to be eaten by them!

Perhaps these moldy bags are intended as a gag gift, but based on some browsing around, it seems that office fridge theft is a pretty common problem. The solution??  Keep your lunch to yourself and invest in a good lunchbox!  Stick in an icepack in the morning and keep it at your desk, and you won’t run into the office theft problem.

Keep in mind, these moldy baggies are good for a laugh, but not for the environment!

Cute product! Someone at work recently ate half of my co-workers leftovers and put the other half back for her to find. Talk about gross! Crazy things happen in offices.

  • kim: Those are incredibly cute! Do you think you'd be able to use them for other things like mini-onigiri or meatballs? Or would the shape no longer stand

About

I'm Meg, a stay home Mom of 2 interested in promoting healthy, low waste lunches for kids and grownups. I aim to present good recipe ideas for packed lunches and to analyze lunchbox products currently available. I encourage involving your kids in all aspects of food. From gardening, to nutrition, to enjoying recipes and making some up... there is a lot to learn and enjoy. Cooking with kids in the kitchen is both spectacularly messy and fun, and generally well worth the extra cleanup time...
