Packed lunch psychoanalysis.

I was just thinking is there a better judge of those you work, study or live with than their packed lunch?

Probably.

But let's pretend it is the key to the hidden secrets within all of us.

Some Sootyj views.

1 Fizzy drinks and/or tuna sandwiches. Anti social types who don't mind belching or being smelly all afternoon.

2 Food wrapped in tinfoil. A sensible type who uses the most sensible material for preserving their food.

3 Bagels or pitta breads. Either an individuals or wants people to think they are.

4 Houmous. Serial killer, probably.

Sootyj's last packed lunch was.

Half baguette with cheese and salad (in tin foil of course), 3 satsumas, an apple, bag of cheese and onion crisps. And a bottle of diet coke.

Analyse that.

Well I'd say with the coke you're not worried about your teeth, yet the baguette and apple suggests you still have some. Possibly a veggie, but not conclusive. The coke and crisps mean you're not that worried about your health and opting for cheese and onion is anti-social.

My last packed lunch was a bottle of water, organic chicken and mayo sandwich on sliced organic wholemeal bread (in tin foil), 2 satsumas, 2 organic swedish crispbreads, a small bag of washed organic red grapes and an organic chewy cereal bar. All in tupperware with a paper napkin and an ice pack to keep it chilled.

I don't think that says much about me except I'm very organised, used to making packed lunches and eat a lot of organic food. And just generally eat alot.

The tin foil is obviously to be place on the head whilst eating to keep your jokes safe from Government agencies.

The ice pack is a fascinatingly almost agressively statement of common sense.

But I can visualise it. The sandwich and crispbread seems some how unusual.

Is diet coke that awful? I do always chew gum after a lunch so hopefully I don't whiff too much.

Not if you use a straw, but the acid in it is bad for your teeth even if there's no sugar.

Same here, but I worry about a different orifice whiffing. That's why people say I gotta 'chewing gum walk.'
