A grown man has been spotted testing the structural stability of a Bluey lunch box today as he attempts to get his health on track for 2024.
Standing in the tupperware aisle of the Big W in Betoota Heights, local project manager Levi Davis was seen perusing the selection of lunch boxes, drink bottles and insulated carry bags stacked up in the ‘Back To School’ display.
Sporting a thick tire around his gut which he’d grown over Christmas, Levi told The Advocate a summer of debaucherous eating and drinking had pushed him to commit to meal prepping his office lunches, especially before footy season kicks off again.
“Mate I’ve put on 6kg since November, I’ve got to reign in it” Levi told our reporter whilst unzipping the lid on a Smash lunch cooler decorated with little dinosaurs.
“I’m gonna to start taking prepped lunches everyday, except for pub Fridays, that’s my goal!”
After returning to the office last week, Levi said he survived the whole five days on a combination of free toast from the office kitchen, and a few $12.90 Pad See Ew specials from the Thai–Riffic joint down the road.
Now on the edge of February still lugging around a third helping of Christmas pudding on his hips, Levi conceded it was time to stop mucking around and eat like an adult.
“I need something that’ll keep my steamed chicken, rice and broccoli cold for the hour-long commute into the office,” explained Levi, as he picked up the Bluey lunch box and tested out the lid.
“This is a good size, I suppose I could use the little sections for a handful of nuts and shit?”
“But it’s covered in Bluey, do you know if Big W sell any sandpaper here? I might need to do some custom decorating on this.”
