Opening a lunchbox at lunch can be either one of the best or most disappointing moments.

Every kid who brings lunch to school has the hope that their mom or dad has packed them some of their favorite foods. As a kid, people can only hope that their guardian has packed what they want. Most kids hope for one of their favorite Lunchables, their favorite bags of chips, their favorite desserts, and their favorite drinks. There are also some items people hate to see when they open it.

Some of the best-packed lunch items are the pizza Lunchables, some Nacho Cheese Doritos, a Cosmic Brownie, and water. I get so excited when I open my lunch box and see these things inside. The Lunchable starts the lunch off with a flavorful, filling snack. The Doritos are a great compliment item to the Lunchable. Then, the Cosmic Brownie finishes it all off with a sweet treat. Other favorites are turkey sandwiches, salad, other chips, and chocolate chip cookies.

Some of the worst packed lunches for me used to be fruit, vegetables, V8 juice, and Jello. Since I have learned more about healthy eating and keeping a balanced diet, my lunch is much better now. But my day is ruined when I open my lunch box and see some of that stuff. It is okay, though, because the lunchroom is one of the happiest rooms. People get to sit together and laugh with their friends while also getting a break from school.

Only 40 percent of all students bring a packed lunch in grades K-12, according to the Journal of Child Nutrition and Management. Some favorite items include a variety of sandwiches, salads, pastas, chips, desserts, and drinks. Those students said that they preferred food they know they will like and eat than the school lunch. Popular favorite items were turkey sandwiches, Doritos, Jello and brownies.

Packed lunch either makes or breaks a day. People can pack whatever they want, and that just makes lunch so much more fun.
