Users can place any type of food in the containers, connect them together via the hooks or Velcro, and place the fully-secure container in a backpack, bag, or other carrying device. The Lunch Buddy can be constructed using food safe plastic, glass, and other suitable materials. The containers may be available in numerous sizes and colors, each suited to accommodate user needs and preferences. Exact size, measurement, construction, and design specifications may vary upon manufacturing.
