this is one of the worst design,not because i dont have any humor!
but how many times you could fool anyone who usually using the same refrigerator,and i got no appetite myself for my own lunch… lol
erin on 06.29.2009 at 13:34 PM
so gross. i think if i used this i would spend the day worrying that some well-meaning soul would decide to take one for the team and toss my “moldy” sandwich right down the garbage chute. not that my building would have have a garbage chute, but if it did…all the worse!

Where do the customers live that need to protect their lunch from getting stolen=
The Carpenter on 06.14.2011 at 15:17 PM
My friend could have used these bags several years ago. His lunch was stolen on a daily basis for a few weeks from a shared refrigerator in the faculty lounge of a college. He never found out who did it, but left a nasty letter on the refrigerator, which stopped the thief.
Ronnie73 on 05.24.2015 at 03:35 AM
In the teacher’s lunchroom refrigerator. Yeah, there are “educators” who haven’t learned the difference of what is theirs vs. what is NOT theirs.

Joy on 06.30.2009 at 04:07 AM
Seriously? I meant to leave a comment but forgot to fill in a field… I got a stupid error message with nothing to click on to fix the problem, then, hit “back” to fix it and everything I typed was gone. HEY – I’m kind of drunk, so I don’t remember exactly how I typed it, but it was damn good. Forget this blog!!!
Joy on 06.30.2009 at 04:14 AM
Anyway, I’m not going to let a flaw in web design ruin my rant. What I meant to say was this: I used to be unlucky enough to work in the corporate world. I had my lunch stolen enough times to be extremely frustrating. I can’t say I was surprised when I overheard a few coworkers talking about the laxatives they added to the brownies they stored in the ‘fridge. I know, I know, it sounds like the worst 12-year-old urban legend ever. But I swear on my spinster aunt’s cat that this really happened at my office.
I promise I overheard a conversation between two fellow employees about the lunch thieves and getting back at them with laxative brownies the day it all went down. Then, I was in the restroom with the presumed culprit. Of course, I never would have pilfered anyone’s lunch before this incident, but I am a true believer now.
BTW, in college, I laced a pizza with dog poo once. Yep. They stole one too many pizzas from the shared fridge in my dorm room. I tried writing notes on them, but that didn’t work. After the poo-lined pizza, though, I never had a problem.
POINT (after all the drunken rambling): If I still worked in a sucky office with a shared fridge, I would rather buy these than add laxatives to brownies I brought or scope dog poo to add to pizza I brought.
Who said: an ounce of prevention is worht a pound of cure?

Everything will sell . . . to someone. I’d guess 1/3 to 1/2 of the sales of these bags would be as gag gifts. It’s no fun having anything stolen from your lunch bag or box. Some people steal lunches just to get away with it. They may have a little of the kleptomaniac gene.

Another way of dealing with it is to put a piece of your used chewing gum into your sandwich or stew. When you hit it, take it out and keep eating. If a thief finds your used chewing gum in their mouth … that will be the last time that thief ever tries that!
Iburnedthetoast on 08.18.2009 at 13:33 PM
I used to live in a “community setting” and we had a completely unashamed lunch (and snack and dinner and half-eaten takeout) stealer. These would have saved a lot of awkward conversations.

at my old job, lunches were constantly stolen ( at an advertising agency of 175 employees). emails were sent, but the culprit(s) never were apprehended. at one point, i constructed a decoy lunch – egg salad made with powdered sugar and 1/4 cup of salt, etc. i got talked out of taking it to work, in case one of the higher-ups was it and they traced back to me. at my current job, my lunch was stolen recently – and there are less than 2 dozen employees. i have learned my lesson. most of the time, i eat out.

I’ve worked lots of places where this would have been nice to have. This may come as a shocker to some of the comment posters here but SOME PEOPLE STEAL LUNCHES!!! As someone who has had their lunch stolen I can attest to the potential awesomeness of this product. There’s nothing worse than running to the fridge starving midday and finding out some a-hole took your food. I liken the feeling to having your car stolen… you feel violated and a little in disbelief because you think “why would anyone do this?!” and also “Is this personal? Is someone out to get me?”. It’s hard to be trusting and comfortable in your work environment when you know someone among you is a sociopath.

This is so FAIL it hurts. You know what happens to moldy crap left in the work fridge?
PEOPLE THROW IT OUT!
You will still either (a.) have to buy a replacement lunch -or- (b.) go dumpster diving for your own lunch.
Solution? Hardly.

Personally, I don’t think that this is a nice way of avoiding foods to be stolen by others. The idea grossed out a lot of people, as what I have read on the comment section. It will not get stolen, but probably it will be thrown at the garbage bin. I think that labeling the plastic bag with something like \Hey don’t touch, or Hey do not steal or God said, do not steal…\ will somehow look cute than this.

I can certainly appreciate the need for such creative packaging. If you have ever worked in a large office with a community/shared refrigerator or two you will likely have experience with some kind of food theft by fellow employees. It is an annoyance and it is a cost. Over the years I have had many things in our community fridges hand-labeled to keep the food thieves away. Because my first bottle was completely consumed before I got to use it a second time I currently have a bottle of Poppy Seed salad dressing that I peeled the label off of and wrote a new identifier on. And to protect my Toaster Strudels, I have removed them from the original packaging and placed them in a zip-lock bag also with a new identifier. Right now I have a bottle of Homemade Eel Egg Horseradish Mayo Sauce and a bag of Breaded Sardine Squares w/ Tartar Packs in our fridge at work which haven’t been touched by anyone but me. In the past neither of these things survived in the fridge long enough for me to enjoy a second time. These new labels have solved my problem, so I am all for the creative design of these sandwich bags. I’m sure they will help the folks who need protection from the sandwich thieves. Kudos to the creators for filling a need with a creative solution.

While it would make it less likely that your food would get eaten by someone else, it also would also increase the chances of the bag being discarded. They would make a fun gift, though!
