Rubbermaid Lunchblox #spon
*I was sent a set of the new Rubbermaid Flat LunchBlox to facilitate my review. All opinions and weird lunch choices are my own.
Diva carries her lunch to school every day. Every. Day.
But my sweet baby girl doesn't get the average sandwich, apple, & bag of chips.
Oh no.
She gets a main course (leftovers), a fruit, a vegetable side, something fermented (sauerkraut, pickles, etc.) and dessert (a couple of Hershey Kisses.)
There are some requirements for the containers that I send in Diva's lunch:
- Because of her
oddinteresting lunches, she almost always is in need of a microwave. Thank goodness her school has one the students can use. Whatever I put her lunch in, it needs to be microwave safe because what I don't intend for her to have for her lunch is melted plastic. - Diva's lunches are often saucy or juicy so her containers need to have tight fitting lids.
Pros:
Great sizes for blox plus optional dividers for compartments in large container
Flat ice tray chills everything equally without the bulk or condensation of an ice pack
Fun colors
Modular
Leak proof lids
Microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe & BPA free
Made in the USA
Quality that I expect from Rubbermaid
Cons:
The blox don't snap to each other very tightly

My husband is just starting to bring a lunch to work with him instead of just buying fast food. His lunch will mostly be left overs. This might just work.
ReplyDeleteMy kids don't like anything too "weird" but something kind of different might be pistachios sometimes and of course a cute little lunch box note.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest doesn't eat bread so I have to send some interesting lunches myself. Some of her favorites besides leftovers include cheesy rice, lunch meat with cheese in middle (then melted), salad, and corn tortillas with melted cheese. Hmmm.....now that it's in writing, I'm noticing a lot of cheese!
ReplyDeleteMy son loves prunes!
ReplyDeleteThose look awesome! I like to pack food in fun containers when we go out with the kids. These would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteI havent packed anything yet. Just getting started.
ReplyDeleteWaffles!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is too young to pack lunches yet, but once I do, I would love to do bento-type lunches with her food shaped like animals/fun things.
ReplyDeletenothing weird I guess kiwi maybe
ReplyDeletebroccoli
ReplyDeleteNothing weird. Lots of deli meat, cheese, and fruit.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be the first year of me packing my sons lunches since he will be starting Kindergarten this year.
ReplyDeleteThe weirdest thing I pack in my son's lunch is probably vienna sausages.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest used to take pancakes and syrup sometimes, other times he would take precooked bacon and hard boiled eggs, dry cereal, a milk tetra pack and fruit... My kids don't eat deli meat, so I need to be creative with cheeses and stuff. No peanut butter allowed at school unfortunately, which is the only sandwich my children eat.
ReplyDeletePomegranate:)
ReplyDeleteI would have to say fried pumpkin seeds is the weirdest thing I have put in their lunches!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first year packing a lunch for my kids, so nothing weird yet, but I'll try to come up with something :)
ReplyDeleteMy son loves pickles.
ReplyDeleteGerman licorice as a dessert!
ReplyDeletePickles. My daughter loves pickles and I think they're icky! lol
ReplyDeleteNot sure about weird - maybe smoked salmon?
ReplyDeletePickles. but he loves them!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOther than little notes from me?? Well, roasted beets I think would qualify!
ReplyDeleteMy son hasn't started school yet but I pack my husband's lunch. I don't really pack anything that I would consider weird in his lunch.

ReplyDeleteI don't pack my littles lunch - she's only 2 - but I often pack dinner to class with me. Weirdest was kraut and kielbasa. My classmates were not pleased!
ReplyDeleterice. and cheese.
ReplyDeleteMy son prefers fresh spinach to chips as a sandwich side. That is probably the "weirdest" thing I ever packed for him. if you can call that weird.
ReplyDeleteThe weirdest thing is apple slices and cheese to eat together.
ReplyDeletebeef jerky!

ReplyDeleteI have yet to pack my child's lunch. He starts school in a few weeks, but I can't imagine putting anything too crazy in there. Of course, who knows?
