The Absolute Best Lunch Bag in Existence
I use lunch bags all the time to bring my lunch and dinner out. I have ordered at least 10 on Amazon, ranging from black bags that could double as a fashionable purse, to handy other bags with lots of pockets and weird shapes with lining to keep the food warm that comes out after 6 months to bags that just work some of the time but not all of the time. That being said, this BAG WORKS ALL OF THE TIME, and here is why I love it!First, the size and shape is perfection. It is big enough to put my entire huge lunch or dinner in there. There is room for a dinner 8 oz salad (usually in a plastic rectangular zip lock no drip container. Then on top of that, I put my dinner rectangular tupperware with my protien, 6 oz vegetable and grain. I also add a container for salt and one for my silverware and stick a big fruit in too. It all fits!! The napkin goes in the little side pocket and my placemat, that in the past got contaminated by my dinner tupperware, goes int the outer front pocket, so it wont get any oil or food stuff on it and it remains nice to use when I am eatinhg out.The inside. Another brilliant mistake? Maybe, but it all works. If I am eating in a vehicle, I can literally eat out of my lunch bag, I just unzip it and open it up. I take my salad out, pour over my dressing and taike the plastic salad container top off (before I wouldn't have anywhere to place it and would loose it) and I place it in the netted area on the inner top of the lunch bag, along with my 2 oz emply dressing container. It holds there snuggly and I never loose any of the pieces of my lunch. When I am done with my salad, I put the container back togehter by snapping the top on that I take from the holding place in the netting and then open my hot meal container and place the top in the same netting to keep from forgetting it. I have room for my salt, my silverware and a fruit as it is such a nice large space, but not too large to be bothersome. When I travel, it is easy to take two of these lunch bags on the fight in my purse so that I have my lunch and dinner wth me. They are not some weird shape or the shape of a purse, that would not fit int another purse (airline under the seat bag) no, they are supper easy and like packing blocks, they just fit right in with lots of room for my other under-the-seat flight stuff like blanket, pillow, compter and cords, books etc, Last for not least, these bags can be used to transport frozen food if I need to bring my food for several days. I just freeze each item in a baggie and stick it in the rectangular lunch bag and pop it in my suitcase. Each frozen item it packed tightly with the others and it keeps everything quite cold over a long trip and its is quite compact. When I arrive at my destiation, I can use the freezer bag, when emptied, as my dinner take out bag.I just love these bags!!
