BumkinsDisney Snack Bag, REUsable, Washable, Mickey Mouse

These are good little bags for school snacks and the characters mean children remember to bring them home to be washed and reused the next day.

I purchased all 3 bags of each Bumkins Wonder Women, Superman and Nintendo. I was very excited to be having reusable bags that the kids would enjoy and are dishwasher safe (top-rack). I was VERY dissappointed, after spending this money that the product does not keep it's smells and flavors contained. Pepperoni and cheese were in one small snack pack, a sliced apple in the other small snack pack and a PB and J sandwich in the sandwich pack....and the apples taste like pepperoni/cheese/PB+J, and sandwich has a very distinct pepperoni flavor with a hint of apple, etc etc. So a great idea in theory but unless you want all your food flavors melding together, not a great purchase. Very upset about this.

Bought these because wanted the reusable bag and love Disney. They are easy to use, thin and I just turn them inside out and throw them in with our laundry when we come home. Hang up to dry and they're good to use the next day. Love them. They are not leak proof so only good for dry foods like crackers, chips types of snacks. If you put in washed snacks like grapes, the water will seep thru, any berries will squish and the juice will go thru. I made the mistake of putting crackers in the nite before and my son said they tasted stale the next lunch. They do not seal like a ziploc bag. But, for packing little snacks in the morning for lunch, they are great. These are smaller bags that I thought and once I put the snacks in and the bag puffs out, you can't put much in. Great for smaller children's snacks, or if you just want a little bit. I put a granola bar in without the wrapper to test it. Yes chocolate got on the inside, but it did wash out easily that evening. I wish the Mickey's weren't upside down on the bags!!

These aren't good for food in my experience. They're good for receipts, medications, pens even. Not food. Everything was stale by lunch time, they leak. Just bad. Cute pattern but not practical by any means. I'm sorry I wasted my money purchasing not 1 but 2 of these things- I didn't realize it's an actual ZIPPER across the top of the bag. I guess I thought it was a "zipper closure" somewhat like the ziploc zipper bags.. nooo. I can't put anything in these unless I'll be eating it in 10 minutes. They're good for portioning out chips that you'll be eating immediately I guess..

My preschool aged child struggled with opening/closing the one-time use kind of baggies, so these are a great alternative to send to school for the first year or two. An added bonus is that it's great for the environment and saves money. They're very easy to clean. I put mostly dry snacks in mine, but I've put cut up fruit in there and it hasn't leaked any juices. I clean mine by the end of the day and after a year of use almost every day they don't smell. Other than some minor staining they're in perfect condition still as well.
