Lunchbox Revolution: The Changing popularity and Content of the Lunchbox

Atlanta, GA --- Time to get back to the homework, heavy book bags and lunchtime with your friends! That’s right; it’s almost time to head back to school. One thing that’s guaranteed during your hours in the schoolhouse is lunchtime!

Lunchboxes have been around since the 1800’s. But what we know as the lunchbox of today was first introduced in the 1930’s with the Mickey Mouse tin lunchbox. Nowadays lunchboxes are convenient, compartmentalized and easy to use, like the examples offered by EasyLunchboxes.com. Their bento-style containers make packing lunch a breeze and are perfect for kids and adults. Find out more at www.easylunchboxes.com.

The content of the lunchbox can be just as, if not more, important than the container! Including fun treats like Nestlé’s Nesquik low-fat chocolate milk is a great way to give your kid a treat and still sneak in those nutrients. It’s available in the juice aisle in convenient, shelf-stable four-packs, and the 8oz bottles are perfect for lunch or a family on-the-go! Nesquik is real milk, with no preservatives so parents can feel good about giving it to their kids. Find out more at www.nesquik.com

Give kids the option to let you know what they would like for lunch. Let them help prepare the items that you will include in their lunchboxes. A new program called The Family Dish is geared toward helping moms get their families into the kitchen, cooking together and has a website that offers recipes for fun lunch options, like great sandwiches and wraps featuring Hellmann’s Mayonnaise. For recipes, tips, an exclusive cookbook, and details about a contest to win a great family vacation, visit www.thefamilydish.com.
