Anti-theft lunchbag

Anti-theft lunchbag

Picture this: You're starving. You head into your office break room, open the refridgerator door to grab the lunch that you woke up extra early to pack. It's gone! Who took it? Was it that guy who sits two cubes down from you? You always thought he was sort of shady. Or, maybe it's that innocent looking office admin. For a moment, you consider stealing someone else's food - those leftovers that the new consultant brought in look great! But, you decide you'll just have to go out to lunch again.

Apparently New York-based Sherwood Forlee had one too many lunches stolen. Sherwood designed plastic lunch bags with built-in spots designed to look like mold. Who would steal that sandwich? My concern, however, is that people who buy the bag may face a differnt problem - kind co-workers throwing the bag in the trash.

What measures have you taken to protect your office lunch?

I ended up accidentally emailing the entire company in the West End, about 600 people, that the stolen sandwhich had worms in it. Within 3 mins of pressing the send button I was in the Chairman's office--a chap rarely seen and known to be pyscho. I got the once over and a 50pound note flicked in my face to go buy another sarnie. So I sympathise with the need for a silkscreened lunch bag of disgustingness.

NO, how hard IS IT to RESPECT whose name is labelled on the container??? THAT is the question!! Labelling your lunch is surprisingly INeffective!!!


....I've had many a time where my lunch would be plundered DESPITE having written my name on it in big, fat, perma-marker! The 'moldy bag' trick might work well in theory, but most likely the reaction will be to throw it out...whether it's by the inconsiderate poop-for-brains stealing your lunch, a co-worker who means well (or the office mgr. who's had it up to here with expired food in the office fridge!!) either way, you're going hungry. Aside from keeping an ice chest in your car (which I now do) or rigging your lunchbox up to a car battery (*mwahahahahahahaaaa!!!*) I can't think of any clever ideas to keep your lunch safe.
