Friday business humor: Stop office lunch theft with gross sandwich bags

If you’ve ever had your lunch stolen from the fridge then you’re familiar with the strong feelings of loss, anger and rage the crime may stir up.

Lunch-theft victims will have no reason to fear any future stolen snacks if they start packing their lunch in some expertly-designed sandwich bags.

The new “Anti-Theft Lunch Bag,” from designer Sherwood Forlee, are regular sandwich bags with green splotches printed on both sides. The printings make sandwiches look like they have been aging in the refrigerator for weeks, deterring sticky-fingered sandwich stealers.

“I looked in my refrigerator and saw all the rotting food,” he says, taking care to note that he has male roommates. “I left it there and thought: This would be perfect for an office environment.”

The “sick, yet useful contraptions” aren’t ready for mass production yet, but Forlee is looking for a manufacturer.
