School Lunch Survey Results

An online social network recently conducted a survey of Moms to determine the most popular back to school lunches.

Some highlights from the survey:

  • There is a nearly even split between those that pack lunches (52%) or buy school lunch (48%)
  • The PB&J is the most popular (37%), but a surprising 24% of parents don't pack a sandwich for their kid's lunches.
  • Which fruit is most favored? In a close race, the banana came out on top with 33% of the vote, followed by apple with 31% and grapes with 26%.
  • More parents pack fruit juice (38%) than milk (35%) for their child's lunch
  • When it comes to getting it there, the overwhelming majority (68%) of parents use insulated lunch bags, compared to 19% who "brown bag it" and 13% who use the classic plastic lunchbox.
