Product Review & Giveaway - Lunch Punch®

~ Posted on Wednesday, December 28, 2011 at 7:44 AM ~

Talk about the weirdest luck I have! I was just browsing the Internet one fine day and I happened to stumble into this website and saw these cute little cutters and realised they are sandwich cutters! How totally cool and cute is that?! Anyway long story short, I was given this wonderful opportunity to review the latest sandwich cutter, the SWEET ™ set!

Lunch Punch

The Lunch Punch® is a food cutter specifically designed to capture the most amount of bread when it cuts the crust off your sandwich.  A fun lunch with minimum waste. The Lunch Punch® is taller than cookie cutters, making it easy to cut through two pieces of bread and spread while still keeping sandwiches light and fluffy.  (Tip: soft, fresh bread works best!)  

The Lunch Punch® was invented by a mother of 3 young children to make lunch more fun for everyone. As every parent knows, it’s a daily challenge to make a healthy and appealing lunch that kids will eat.  Sandwiches are a mainstay in children’s diets, but they’re so boring and kids don’t like the crust.  

The Lunch Punch® is dishwasher safe, BPA FREE, Phthalate FREE PVC FREE and Lead FREE. It is made from FDA certified food-grade plastic and both The Lunch Punch® and its packaging are 100% recyclable. The Lunch Punch® is intended for use by adults but can be used by children over 3 with adult supervision. 

About the SWEET ™ set:

Lunch Punch

The SWEET™ set set comes with 4 sweet sandwich cutter shapes: Cupcake, Birthday Cake, Gumball Machine & Ice Cream Cones. The SWEET ™ set will work with any size bread but it is especially great for regular or large bread.

I was so looking forward to getting the sandwich cutter that I think my neck has grown a few milimetres longer craning over the window everytime I hear the postman's motorcycle sound. And when it finally arrived almost 2 months after I requested for the review opportunity, I just couldn't wait to try it out!

Now my boy is not really a bread fan, in fact the only way so far I can get him to eat the whole slice is by tearing small pieces of the bread and rolling it into small balls. Maybe he thinks it's cute... or he sympathised with his mummy's ermm.. creativity?

I tried 2 of the 4 cutters (cake and ice cream cos my boy loves these 2!) using our Massimo wheat germ bread. I only used a slice of bread for each cutter and then I slapped on some banana and chocolate spread on the cut out bread slice.

Anyway, enough talking, just look at the pictures below:
