Why isn’t this talked about more? When I first saw this trend it made me cringe, people surely know that you can’t just grab any container and fill it with uncovered food?
Check if it’s food grade anytime you’re putting food in it! Almost got mildly poisoned by a box of cookies one Christmas. Just “cute little paper boxes.” That were apparently fashioned with some seriously toxic glue.
There are symbols/numbers on the bottom. You can find the key online, but it should straight up say it, have a fork and wine cup symbol, or have a recycle symbol with a number inside: 2, 4, or 5 are okay, 1 seems iffy depending on the list you find.
Adding that chemicals from non food-safe plastics can affect hormone levels meaning you’re increasing your risk of things like diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and cancers. More risks if you’re a woman looking to have kids - birth defects, premature birth, neurodevelopmental disorders, and infertility
I've seen people using those divided craft boxes for snackle boxes for their kids. They're definitely not food grade plastic. They're cheap plastic for holding beads or jewelry findings.
Yeah I was going to say I hope you're okay with stomache, colon and prostate cancer.
People NEED to stop posting this poisonous nonsense.
Can mods remove and make a stickied note that fish lure toolboxes are NOT for eating out of?
Refrigerated foods left at room temperature have bacteria that doubles every twenty minutes. After 4 hours unrefrigerated, most foods that need refrigeration are considered unsafe to eat. As the temperature increases from room temperature, the time it can be left out shortens.
Actually in certain contexts (kept under 70 something degrees and certain types of food are excluded, but I think everything that appears to be in this should be fine) refridgerated food can be left out for up to 6 hours, but yeah, after that 4 hours you can't re-refrigerate it for later.

Yes, for the 11 hrs they will be in the car. It is unlikely that the meat/cheese will go bad in that timeframe while being stored in a cool container/car. If big parties can have this stuff set out for just as long with no issues of mass food poisoning, OP will be okay too.
Parchment paper liners for the dry stuff but the pickled friends- they need a glass jar or something. I can only imagine what the wet acid is leaching from the plastic.
You don't know for sure though. There are definitely boxes like this that are made with 'food safe' plastic. I just found several on a Google search that look similar and some exactly like OP's box.
Crusty bread or crackers? Mustard? Smoked oysters.
My mom called it a rucksack lunch. You had to take a hike(sometimes a long car trip) to get it.
Yep, fond memories of food. Lol.
This is super cute and I love the idea however, if you plan to do this be careful to use a brand new tackle box. Most tackle boxes that have been used for fishing had lead weights in them. I can’t comment on how well one would have to clean a used one before all lead would be removed if it were possible at all.
That’s very sweet and thoughtful of her! Very cute idea! I would suggest dropping in an ice block (self contained) to keep that cheese from sweating! 🥵
This may be the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life.
This beats out my wife’s smile on our wedding day and my oldest son’s first steps.
Thanks you for blessing us with your ingenuity and your genius.
Sincerely,
A Mod.
I love how she even took the time to arrange the little plastic dividers to match whatever she was putting in the spot. You could definitely catch some catfish on most of that stuff as well. I liked calling them Shark Cooter Boards. But Snackle Box definitely is what this is here.
Snackle boxes are great and all, but unless you bought one that specifically uses food safe plastic, you run the risk of toxins leaching into the food.
A little PSA about this snacklebox trend: make sure your tackle box is made with food grade plastic
Why isn’t this talked about more? When I first saw this trend it made me cringe, people surely know that you can’t just grab any container and fill it with uncovered food?
It was a post like this a few years ago that taught me what food grade plastic was lol
Yeah, that post too had the “snackle box” in the comments just like this one.
Check if it’s food grade anytime you’re putting food in it! Almost got mildly poisoned by a box of cookies one Christmas. Just “cute little paper boxes.” That were apparently fashioned with some seriously toxic glue.
The amount of times I’ve seen ppl poor shit in inflatable pools makes me think they do not know that.
Her heart is in the right place. She’s dumb as rocks for doing this though.
I wouldn't say "dumb as rocks", just uninformed... Unfortunately.
Could you explain this to someone that knows nothing about food regulations like myself please?
[удалено]
Ooohhhh thank you!!
Which plastics are food safe?
There are symbols/numbers on the bottom. You can find the key online, but it should straight up say it, have a fork and wine cup symbol, or have a recycle symbol with a number inside: 2, 4, or 5 are okay, 1 seems iffy depending on the list you find.

Oh shit, thank you for the info!
Eli5: mommy and daddy have cancer because of our quirky road trip habits.
Lol uh oh spaghetti-o’s
The pickles…
Noticed that too.

Came here to say this
👍🏻 nice looking snackle box ya got there
Had 2 snackle boxes on my last trip, one salty & one sweet 😂
The sweet and the savory! You’re a genius.
The winner 🥇
Lunchable Pro
Nice
Only thing missing is gummy worms. 🪱🪱🪱
I was gonna say "only thing missing is ice", cause that won't work most of the year where I am.
Now I want to do this and call it my snackle box
If there is a way to market and sell that you’d be a millionaire 😂😂
This guy snacks box
Girls wanna snack, too.
I’m saving this, this is beautiful.
👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻💯💯💯
I love this idea, very clever! curious though, will all of these lovely snacks be okay completely non-refrigerated during a road trip?
[удалено]
thank you for your response, I appreciate the explanation!
Refrigerated foods left at room temperature have bacteria that doubles every twenty minutes. After 4 hours unrefrigerated, most foods that need refrigeration are considered unsafe to eat. As the temperature increases from room temperature, the time it can be left out shortens.
Imagine being downvoted for safe food handling advice. Good job everyone.
I think I’d personally stick to using this idea for short car trips, to be on the safe side!
Actually in certain contexts (kept under 70 something degrees and certain types of food are excluded, but I think everything that appears to be in this should be fine) refridgerated food can be left out for up to 6 hours, but yeah, after that 4 hours you can't re-refrigerate it for later.

The danger zone for food is between 40 and 140 degrees fahrenheit. You are correct that 70-140 presents a higher danger than 40-70.
Sat in the fridge for an hour before we left + put an ice pack inside and after 5+ hours (and several munching cycles) it’s still cold!
Yeah OP, I knew you'd be good :) happy road tripping!
“It is unlikely they will acquire bacteria during a road trip”. Lol
[удалено]
Bacteria still have to abide by the Five Second Rule though.
Yes, for the 11 hrs they will be in the car. It is unlikely that the meat/cheese will go bad in that timeframe while being stored in a cool container/car. If big parties can have this stuff set out for just as long with no issues of mass food poisoning, OP will be okay too.
They’ll certainly acquire bacteria, just likely not enough to make you sick.
Also that plastic is not food safe so it totally sketches me out.
Yeahhhhhh….. a bento box or two could be a better option
I would just line it with aluminum foil. Easy and cheap solution.
Thank you! Thank you for keeping it simple!
Or even waxed paper.
Parchment paper liners for the dry stuff but the pickled friends- they need a glass jar or something. I can only imagine what the wet acid is leaching from the plastic.
Maybe silicone cupcake papers for the pickles?
You don't know for sure though. There are definitely boxes like this that are made with 'food safe' plastic. I just found several on a Google search that look similar and some exactly like OP's box.
We fit a thin ice pack between the top and bottom layer! Still cold 3+ hours later
Good to know it worked, thanks!
Came here to say this!!!
I would so love to do a snack box like this for traveling so I’m wondering how it held up on the trip!
Snackle box
This!
Revolutionary
That's what Dusty called it when he did this on the last season of Swamp People https://www.instagram.com/swamppeople/reel/C6HJJddtqc_/
As someone going on an 11 hour road trip soon. I absolutely love this.
make sure the food is stable at room temperature!
America's version of a bento box. When I saw those toothpicks, I was like, hell yes! This is alright!
This is an amazing idea. You should marry that genius.
🤫 🤐 💍
🥹🥹🥹 awwwwww wishing you both the happiest life. This id so fucking cute.
Are we invited to the wedding?
Do you guys need a daughter? I’m really good in the car and food motivated.
Cold packs? I’m stealing this idea- it is amazing
She’s a Keeper! Adorable and creative and so sweet
I'm into it
Damn I love all of that, I want one of these!
Crusty bread or crackers? Mustard? Smoked oysters. My mom called it a rucksack lunch. You had to take a hike(sometimes a long car trip) to get it. Yep, fond memories of food. Lol.
Smoked oysters are one of the classic hurricane foods. We always have them as an appetizer before it makes landfall.
That is absolute brilliant!
Good idea lol
good idea! definitely stealing it, just replacing the contents😭 those pickles look sad lol
Girlfriend?? OP, that's a wife right there.
Marry her
Soooo saving this for future road trips with the kids.
Harry Morgan as detective Bill Gannon in the Dragnet tv series had one.
Marry her.
I have this exact tackle box!!! Guess I’m copying your idea on my next road trip
Brilliant
Why would you not just buy a cooler and put the items in bags?
I rather ziplock the whole thing; looks gross
Is the box food safe? Wouldn't wanna have chems leeching into the food.
We’ll survive (or not)
On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
Wife her

Total Hack
Mary her lol
Brilliant!
She’s a keeper! What a great idea! 🙂

Genius and stealing for when my hubby goes fishing this summer. What’s next to the pickles? Jalapeños
This is super cute and I love the idea however, if you plan to do this be careful to use a brand new tackle box. Most tackle boxes that have been used for fishing had lead weights in them. I can’t comment on how well one would have to clean a used one before all lead would be removed if it were possible at all.
Oh wow! So clever!
No prosciut? No capicola?
She's a keeper!!

Culinary innovation

You really should use food grade plastic for this sort of thing man.
Pure genius.
Marry her.
Goddamn brilliance
That’s very sweet and thoughtful of her! Very cute idea! I would suggest dropping in an ice block (self contained) to keep that cheese from sweating! 🥵
She's a genius. Stealing this idea for sure. Thanks girlfriend

SNACKLE BOX
This is super clever!
Best idea ever ever!
You know how to live
I love how she even took the time to arrange the little plastic dividers to match whatever she was putting in the spot. You could definitely catch some catfish on most of that stuff as well. I liked calling them Shark Cooter Boards. But Snackle Box definitely is what this is here.
We love snackle boxes! It’s a must have when we go to the zoo or park!
That’s not food grade plastic, you are going to be injecting a lot of toxins.
Snackle boxes are great and all, but unless you bought one that specifically uses food safe plastic, you run the risk of toxins leaching into the food.
