snackTAXI

I recieved a snackTAXI sandwich-sack and a snack-sack.

For the snack-sack there are around 100 colors, patterns, and designs to choose from.  I choose the Dino-Dudes pattern. 

Here is a size comparison of the snack-sack to a normal ziploc sandwich bag.

 

 

 



As you can see the snack-sack is pretty close to the size of throw away, use once, baggies that we are all use to. 

I gave the snack-sack to my son to use for the day for his snacks around the house.  He is 3 and can open if pretty good.  The first thing he had in it were mini M&Ms.  None of them fell out.  I was pretty surprised by this since they are so small, but the snackTAXI worked GREAT!

Here is what the snackTAXI website says about the snack-sack...

The snack-sack neatly fits

 rice cakes, pretzels or corn chips, and is equally good for carrot or celery sticks!

Dimensions: 6" W x 4.5" H

 

The cost for 1 snack-sake is $7.95.

 

You can also get the matching sandwich-sack in this print (see review below).

For the sandwich-sack there are about 60 colors, patterns, & designs to choose from.

Here is the size comparison with a sandwich size ziploc bag.

 

As you can see in the pictures, the sandwich-sack is just a little bigger than a normal sandwich baggie.



With having 2 kids, my 4 year old got this one to use.  Again, we put mini M&Ms in this one also.  They stayed in also, none fell out, and she could open this one fine also.

 

Here is what snackTAXI had to say about the sandwich-sack...

The sandwich-sack is the perfect fit for

a generous sandwich, bagel or wrap, or a hearty snack!

Dimensions: 7.5" W x 6" H



The cost for 1 sandwich-sack is $8.95.

If you are a person who likes to buy things made in the USA, these are made right in Massachusetts!

Here is what the website says for snackTAXI sack care..
It's anything goes when it comes to washing your snackTAXIs. They can be machine washed (we recommend unscented detergent) and dried in the dryer, or simply rinsed with water and air dried.
We recommend emptying them after each use to prevent food oils from being absorbed by the fabric, which happens over time.
If sacks get really mucky, or have absorbed some food oils, we've found that a soak in boiling water with mild (unscented) soap followed by drying in the hot sun or hot dryer works well!

Wondering what they are made out of??  Here is what the website states..
The exterior of a snackTAXI is comprised of 100% cotton, and the interior is lined with polyurethane coated nylon.
All materials are lead, phthalate and BPA free!
Material sources: the cotton we use is manufactured in Korea, the nylon is manufactured in Taiwan, and all of our products are manufactured in our rural Massachusetts workshop.
We're currently looking for a recycled nylon, and would love to hear any sourcing suggestions folks might have. We will also be introducing some organic cotton selections this year, to round out our offerings!

I did test each one with some water in them, since my daughter LOVES fruits and veggies and I was curious how they held up if there was liquid in them.  (The water was to simulate rinsing off the freuit and veggies.)  They did leak, but only at the bottom corners, and I am sure that if the were tipped upside down they would leak as well.  BUT.. from the water that would drip off of rinsed off fruits and veggies, I don't think it would be a problem.  You wouldn't want to put soup or something similar in them tho.

My favorite out of the 2 was the snack-sack size.  As I said above we usually use baggies for snacks for the kids during the day or on trips.  The snack-sack size was perfect for this!
