"I LOVE this because when we are out and about I can take a snack that is not crackers! I would rather not offer cookies, crackers, and other processed foods as snacks but when you are out of the house it is easiest. But, with this handy dandy little food jar you can take anything. I usually put mine in the fridge for a while to get it nice and cold and then fill it up right before we leave the house. My sons current favorite - blueberries! And, they are nice and fresh even hours later when we put it in the foogo."
