Life in the City, Lunch on the Go
As a full-time editor living in a bustling city, my days are packed with subway commutes, endless emails, and back-to-back deadlines. Preparing my own light meals became my way to stay healthy and save time.
The problem? Most lunch boxes were either too heavy, too bulky, or simply not practical for carrying around in my work bag. That changed when I discovered the Durbl Fold-Up Container — a collapsible silicone lunch box designed for urban professionals like me.
My Everyday Lunch Routine
Most days, I pack a light Caesar salad, a sandwich, or a colorful fruit bowl. Durbl’s platinum silicone container keeps everything fresh and sealed — no spills in my laptop bag.
The best part comes after lunch: with a simple press, the container collapses flat, leaving me extra room in my bag. For someone who already carries a laptop, notebooks, and maybe a book or two, that makes a huge difference.
Even my colleagues noticed. “Where did you get that foldable lunch box?” they asked. It quickly became a conversation starter at the office.
Beyond the Office — Evenings & Weekends
Durbl isn’t just for lunch. Some evenings, I take leftovers back home. Since the container is microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe, I don’t need to transfer food to another dish — less hassle, more convenience.
On weekends, I pack snacks or a full meal for a picnic or a long writing session at a café. The container is light, portable, and eco-friendly — a small but meaningful step toward reducing single-use plastic.
