*Riiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg*

The bell rings and droves of children run into the playground to begin the age old ritual during lunch breaks around Australia.

Sitting down in groups, children begin the unravelling of their personal feasts; the most important question on everyone’s lips?

“What’s in your lunch box?”

For parents, this is where their efforts to provide a healthy and delicious lunch get reviewed by the harshest of critics… their kids.

Short of going to your child’s school, and peeking over the shoulders of all their classmates to see how yours stacks up, research by Sweener UT Shopper Research, 2011 lists the most popular food items in lunchboxes around the country.

1) Fresh Fruit

2) Bread

3) Cheese

4) Muesli Bars

5) Yoghurt

6) Fruitbars

7) Rice Crackers

8 ) Dry Crackers

9) Fresh Vegetables

10) Salad

11) Dipper snacks

12) Cereal Bar

13) Chips

14) Muffin Bars

15) Sweet Biscuits

With this list in mind, it is also important to consider what kind of lunch box you are buying for your child. Cheese, yoghurt and fresh fruit, should be kept in a cooler bag, while muesli bars and crackers should be stored in dry containers. Check out the huge range of lunch box solutions on Lasoo now.
