my sandwich brings all the boys to the yard
I make a nice-looking sandwich. When I prepare them they are attractive and look delicious. Since I eat a sandwich every afternoon before leaving work, all my coworkers covet and comment on my sandwiches nearly every day. This spring I prepared one as a snack for a weekend rugby match, and while I was eating it one of the big, tough, straight, butch Marines on our team was walking by and commented, "Nice sandwich." No one can resist my sandwiches. I really didn't think anything could further enhance the quality of my sandwich until I saw this attractive Wonder Bread sandwich container at the grocery store last night:
It is absolutely adorable, and keeps my sandwich from getting squished on the ride to work. Plus, I reduce the amount of plastic sandwich bags I might otherwise use up.
One secret to making an attractive sandwich is to use fresh lettuce (romaine, but never iceberg), and have the rounded edges of the lettuce leaves stick out around the edges of the crust. Don't say I don't relinquish my valued secrets here on this blog.

You've piqued my interest.

Insert Jimbo Sandwich joke here. Maybe with Ryan Reynolds and Chris Evans?

Oh my gosh! I have one of those sandwich containers too! My sandwiches are usually peanut butter and jelly though.

Oh my god i must have that sandwich container. You don't have to actually buy any Wonder Bread to get it, do you?

>> (romaine, but never iceberg)
but, what exactly are the acceptable uses of iceberg lettuce?
Posted by: matt at July 11, 2006 4:14 PM
Archerr's sandwiches are smooth peanut butter and grape jelly!

I love those Wonder Bread containers. I bought six of them that I rotate so they all fade evenly.
Presentation is very important, even when it comes to a sandwich.

I bought the dotted container at the Secret Safeway on Conn. and Florida. I took the last one.
I think you can throw iceberg lettuce at people, and perhaps it serves as a source of fiber, but is otherwise worthless as far as I'm concerned.
Posted by: jimbo at July 11, 2006 6:22 PM
Nope...no fiber in iceberg lettuce. Zip, Zilch, Zero! Useless lettuce!

I love it! I had one of those sandwich boxes when I was in grade school...along with my Buck Rogers lunch box. Mark, I have to warn you, I have dibs on Chris Evans :)

Jeers to Iceberg.
Cheers to that Sandwich Container.

please don't tell me that you use wonder bread, tho . . .

Wow! You sure struck a nerve with your sandwich containers. Does this imply that folks NEED more prosaic opinions?

Nice box (snicker) LOL

You have a sandwich before leaving work? I guess I'm not understanding the concept. Second lunch? Afternoon snack? Pre-gym nutrition? Faux dinner (what time do you eat at night?)? Is the ride home that arduous?
If I brought a sandwich (especially a nice-looking one with romaine) to work it wouldn't last past 11am... so it's an exercise in discipline? A reward for being a good boy and making it through the day?

I love iceberg lettuce.
Whew. I'm finally outta my iceberg closet. Now where's that Miracle Whip?
Posted by: Joe.My.God. at July 12, 2006 3:23 PM
I think you have too many sandwiches.
Posted by: sam at July 12, 2006 5:18 PM
I bought two of those containers at the same place, but the design is Crayola Crayons mode. I cosign with Joe on the Miracle Whip.

I want that sandwich container. I don't even have an office to bring it to...but I want it.
