Hey fellow parents, it’s Jake Ryan, and I’ve got some wild stats from the back-to-school scene. So, turns out, 21% of your kids’ lunch ends up right back in their lunchbox—uneaten! I mean, what are they doing, saving it for a snack later? But here’s the kicker: 29% of you are eating those leftovers for dinner. No judgment, we’ve all been there.

So, next time you’re packing that lunch, maybe toss in a character or two—you never know, it might just save you from another night of eating PB&J scraps.

Check this out!—more than half of you said your kids are more likely to chow down if their lunch comes wrapped in something featuring their favorite TV characters. (I’ve been guilty of buying sandwich bags with my favorite characters, too—because, why not? And with how kids swap lunches these days, I’ve practically got a PhD in every show they’re watching!)
