Clearly you need to freeze dry the sandwiches and then take a bottle of water with you. Like a pot noodle...only with sandwiches.
i'm not sure what led you to believe that this is an acceptable solution, but i assure you that it is not. edit: i suggest duct tape. and lots of it.
You know those bags you put clothes in and fit a vacuum cleaner to to suck all the air out? Well, make a smaller version, shove the sammies in and then suck all the air out. You might need to put a filter on the hole, as I could quite imagine you'd lose all the sandwich filling otherwise. An advantage is that you could probably fit about 16 sandwiches into the box, rather than 4.
Soon you will be catching up to my 5K calorie maintenance diet. Keeps my weight stable but 6-8 small meals a day wear you out. I eat like a bodybuilder just to stay here. The food is good. john
Ok then, since Loom is a pig and wants to eat like one, then i'll give you the solution, which is damn simple, and will even let you fit another one of those sandwiches in there. How? Use one of these: yummy yum yum
Mine is WAY smaller. Must be genetics. john This is my 3rd one - wore out other 2. Bloody handy for mixing powershakes or smoothies
Hahaha, someone is a bit high strung! Thanks for your solution, you're on the right track now *heading to the kitchen now*
Ditto. Don't suppose you use your for "toast" parties though do you? As for sarnies of that thickness maybe you should make a bigger one out of crusty bread to protect them, then you have a full edible lunch and lunchbox
Easy man! Just find yourself a friendly anvil, ask him nicely to sit on top of your sarnies, give it fifteen or so minutes, and whammo, nicely flattenned sarnies! In all seriousness, the most logical thing to do is, if you can compress the sandwiches down enough to get a seal on the lunchbox, just pile a couple of big books or similar heavy items on top of it until it stays sealed, and just to be sure, three elastic bands around the middle and both ends. HTH, Joe
Why didn't I think of it sooner? It's the simplest solution. Take your sarnies with you and whichever mode of transport you take to work, place your troublesome sandwich box in front of where one of vehicles wheels will travel. Problem solved!
Guys, guys, guys - I fear you are not taking this thread seriously. I have suffered through (and subsequently resolved) a similar dilemma before, so I may be able to help. Thinking laterally, why don't you just get a bigger lunchbox? Or perhaps thinner sliced bread? Alternatively if that is not an option, then I think you need to reconsider the logistics and arrangement of your current setup. From your picture I can tell there is still a lot of empty space in the lunchbox. This is no good, as it is an inefficient use of the space you have available to you. As a rough estimate, I would say that the total volume of the lunchbox is equal to or greater than that of the sandwiches, so in theory that there is no reason why they shouldn't fit. I think the only solution would be for you to opt for a more compartmentalised layout and separate out the individual components of the sandwich. Do you have the facilities available at the place of consumption for you to prepare the sandwiches? If so, then here's what I would suggest: 1. Insert the bread first, pre-buttered for convenience as necessary depending on your preference. The bread is the most modular component you have, so logic dictates that this should take priority and the other ingredients will have to fit around that. 2. Then insert the other ingredients (I have only been able to determine fried egg, tomatoes and onions due to the low resolution and general blurriness of the images). You may put them in separate food bags if you wish to help guard against break up and/or disintegration during transit. 3. Prepare sandwiches. 4. Enjoy! There, problem solved - and no blenders necessary! Although I have to concede that my solution is rather more elaborate and would require more dedication to execute, but it is the only way as I see it to solve the initial problem of closing the lid while ensuring the sandwiches remain in their natural (read: solid) state, without resorting to extensive lunchbox modifications which would increase the size of said lunchbox. Don't worry - there's no need to thank me, I'm just glad I was able to help
lol i was trying to make the option look unattractive, allthough, i've always wanted to turn a medium rare steak into a smoothie... Wouldn't that be awesome guys? A MEATSHAKE! What's that you say? A milkshake? Get that pansy stuff out of here, milk is for pussies.
i do not see the problem. you could just carry it with both hand (assuming you're not planning on driving a car, in which case you should hire someone to carry it for you) and keep it nicely horizontal. that way it is not really necessary to close it anyhow.
