Yeah, it doesn\u2019t take much to amaze me.<\/p>\n<p>When I was a kid, \u201czip lock\u201d bags didn\u2019t exist, which meant sandwiches were packed in those bags with the little flap that you folded over and tucked into the top of the bag. Remember those? They seemed to work okay, but they weren\u2019t airtight and didn\u2019t do a great job of keeping certain \u201cwet\u201d snacks from leaking into your lunchbox.<\/p>\n<p>And then, sometime in the mid to late 80s, zip lock bags burst onto the scene, and the art of packing a lunch hasn\u2019t been the same since. I\u2019m pretty sure they still make the old school non-zip lock bags, although I don\u2019t know anyone who actually uses them.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, you can buy reusable sandwich bags like the watermelon-themed sack pictured above. I like this bag, not just because it\u2019s all watermelony, but because it also helps the environment by keeping all those used plastic bags out of landfills.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/53834725\/snaksaks-reusable-sandwich-bag\">Etsy seller who handmade this bag<\/a> and is selling it for just $7, the bag measures 7 inches by 7 inches and includes a full length Velcro seal across the top. The outer lining is made from high-quality cotton, the interior is lined with waterproof nylon, and the bag can be handwashed or machine washed.<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t purchased one for myself, but I have purchased one to be given away as this month\u2019s prize. I\u2019ll choose one comment at random from all the comments left on the blog in April to receive it.
