I have replaced the lunchables I get at the grocery store for this! My kids loves it! The best part is that I can mix it as I please and I can do better quality snacks and cold cuts.\nWorth every penny! I definitely recommend it.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Absolutely perfect. Great quality and works well for meal prepping my kids lunches. Bigger compartments than what I thought but works really well and still fits in the lunch boxes with their sippy cups!\n\nUPDATE: Still great containers except the lid tab broke on a few making it’s EXTREMELY hard to pull the lid off. I stopped using them when a teacher notified me she couldn’t get the lid off. But lasted over a year for school lunches!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'My first impression of these is that they\'re awesome. Both the lid and the container are thick and sturdy. The container itself is small enough to fit in a kid\'s lunch, but also more than adequate for an adult who\'s looking to diet to control portions. As made apparent by others, these are perfect for homemade Lunchables. You can use healthier ingredients & not be completely ripped off all at the same time. Yes!!!\n\nSide note: I almost didn\'t buy them because of the reviews saying the tab will break off. Here\'s the thing. You have to be gentle with any type of food container, as they\'re not made of steel. It\'s plastic... I\'ll use the best practice of grabbing both the tab and the actual lid in order to take it off. As far as trusting your kid to follow the same principle, eh. Good luck. I\'m using these for myself, so, if indeed the tab still breaks even after using gentle force, then I\'ll come back and let you know that these are actually junk. Also, keep in mind that putting these in the dishwasher will probably take away from their longevity. Plastic containers in the dishwasher have to stand up to a lot of heat & even with putting them on the top rack, some just can\'t handle it. Be realistic in your expectations.\n\nRight now, I feel I\'d be willing to buy a ton of these at their price. $12.99 is a bit much, but you have to pay for quality. If these actually hold up, I\'ll definitely buy more.\n\nEdit: 1/23/2019. Been using these a little over a week and I am in LOVE with them! I\'ve been using them for my lunch every single day at work and they just make sense. I can pack just about anything "lunchy" and feel confident that everything is nice and separated. Don\'t have to worry about a bunch of different containers and zip loc bags. I\'ve not tried my luck with anything liquid because I haven\'t had a need to. If I need to pack a dip I\'ll simply use a dip container. As far as everyone who says these break easily, buy them and judge for yourself. All I can say is, they are VERY thick to me and seem unlikely to break. I\'ve even pulled on the tab and lid roughly to try. No breakage. I have no idea what kind of He-man, She-woman, Hulk strength some of these people and their kids are using, but.... From what I\'ve seen so far, these are well worth the price tag. Again, I always hand wash, because a dishwasher WILL cut the life of a plastic container short! If you must put them in a dishwasher, use the top rack only!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These are perfect for homemade lunchable style lunches or snacks lunches. Love them!! I can also help with leaks by using a small piece of glad press and seal over the compartment with a dipping sauce!! That works great!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "These make AMAZING personal protein snack packs. I make snacks for the week (for me) that include hard boiled egg, almonds, lunch meat and some cubed cheese. It's great (and cheap) to grab when running out the door. I've already ordered another set.\n\nThey are also THICK and durable. Certainly not flimsy plastic. So while these are pricey....they are well made and worth the cost."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Well, I was torn between giving 5 or 4 stars. This is perfect for my kids lunch box. They love “lunchables” but I make them bigger and more varied versions on my own and much cheaper by using these containers. Plus I am not contributing to waste of so much plastic containers. The ONLY issue I have is actually probably a plus too. It is difficult to close. Once closed however we are talking air tight and leak proof. And my kids have no trouble opening it. I just struggle closing it completely all the way around. I debate considering that a negative since it does its job. Very sturdy, durable plastic! However I always hand wash it to be sure it remains so for a long time.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Awesome item, everyone is asking me at work where I got it. What do I like? I like that the lid closes each section not just flat lid over entire container. So dry items stay dry and wet stay wet. I also like it because I used to wrap item like boiled egg in Saran Wrap so that it stays wrapped next to fruit or crackers. I bought it because I don’t want to use single use plastics. I make my snack packs in this for a week and just wash and reuse the container. No more wasted plastics and Mother Earth will be happy:)\nI put grapes, cheese, boiled egg, pretzels. That’s my finger food, work in the hospital.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'My husband started buying the adult lunchables from the store, and I wanted to find an alternative way that would be cheaper and better. Needless to say, I am stuck making all the lunchable forever. But I love these containers! While I feel like $12.99 is very expensive for 4 containers, they are worth it to me. They are perfect for making lunchables for the husband and kiddo. The lid seals on tight, and each little compartment is the perfect size (1/2 cup). They also fit nicely in a lunch bag. I have washed them several times in the dishwasher with no issues.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Perfect for little portions. Doesn't leak, not even from compartment to compartment. I haven't put anything super liquidy like apple sauce or yogurt, but i have put juicy strawberries, cheese, and apples. They didnt not mix flavors with each other and the cheese stayed dry and delicious. Easy to open for my little one. Great price. Fits perfectly next to a small juice in her lunch box."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have 2 kids, and neither of them get a whole lot of time to eat. Hence, I don't want them spending a whole lot of their lunch breaks struggling to open containers. I've also bought an embarrassing amount of bento boxes, only to find that they're often too big in at least one dimension for my kids' lunchboxes and often are difficult to clean. These seemed almost too simple, but at such a good price (less than I've paid for the fancier containers), I took a shot.\nThese are really perfect for my kids. Each of the 4 compartments holds a decent amount of food. I can easily fit in boiled eggs, sliced cheese, fruit, and veggies. I haven't had issues with leaking, but to be fair, most of what I've packed has been on the drier side of the menu.\nI simply rinse and toss these in my dishwasher's top rack, and I've had no problem with warping or anything so far. And of course, this also means so much less waste from single-use plastics. If you're a busy mom packing lunches, these really are pretty awesome."}]
