Since VCDan is always on the lookout for "the next big thing" he decided to give the opportunity of said discovery out to some fellow bloggers (venture capitalist for the day, so to speak!)... in submission, for his consideration, I would like to share with you all the amazing love I have developed for a little company called Obentec, or Laptop Lunches.
As you can tell from my collection/documentation, I've been packing a lunch in their lunch system for months now... and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon! But first things first.
Obentec is a small company, started out by two mothers, seeking to "create fun, practical food containers and user guides that promote better nutrition and waste reduction." They offer a variety of reusable containers made especially for the waste conscientious, without settling for the mundane! Made in vibrant colors both kids & adults alike can enjoy and identify with, on a daily basis!
I first came across the idea through the fast-growing community of flickr LLB users. Observing their beautifully prepared meals inspired me to look into the possibility for myself.
The impact it has had on my spending habits (no more last-minutes fast-food runs at lunch), food intake (I find myself taking the time to fill the box/compartments with a healthy balance of fruits, veggies, protein, and goodies), overall health (due to the last two mentions), and waste reduction (no more little baggies to throw away, individual sized food purchases, etc) has made the investment well worth it... in fact, I'd say it was the best buy I've made in a long time!
To even further my love for this company, they stand behind their products 112%. Even with some production issues, resulting in repeated needs to replace faulty lids, they have been happy and communicatory the whole way. Giving new meaning to quality customer service!
I wish everyone could carry a Laptop LunchBox to work, school, or wherever they choose to go to eat!
