5. A Squished Sandwich Tastes Just as Good
A squished sandwich does not taste just as good. It might be a placebo effect, but darn it if that ham-and-cheese just seems “off” after being crushed by a soda can. Invest in a few Tupperware or Pyrex to-go containers if you’re packing heavy or bulky things: Although a plastic baggie is slim and doesn’t take up much room, it’s a wasted save if a rogue apple crushes your main course. Bonus: Plastic or glass to-go containers are washable and entirely reusable. Your kid’s earth science teacher would approve.
