My wife thinks I'm a crazy person for making my flight snackle box.

You don't get to post a picture like that without saying what you got in it, them's the rules.
- Mmmmm. Quails' eggs.
  
  One thing I love about living in the city is all the free pigeon eggs you can find in random spots.
  
  In THIS economy?!
- That is a fair point, the person below was pretty close: dried sausage, tomato taki's (which I thought was a weird flavor at first but they grew on me), mini chocolate chip cookies, and chocolate covered coffee beans to help with the end of the red eye.
  
  Sounds delicious! This was such a clever idea
- Looks like some sausage sticks on top, middle is the rolled crispy Doritos/Takis, no idea what kind of cookies on the bottom sides, and I'd guess the bottom center are chocolate covered almonds or something
  
  Very close! Mini chocolate chip cookies and chocolate covered coffee beans to help with the end of the red eye.
- I see two types of beef jerky (sausage style, I don’t know the name), I see quail eggs and I see cookies.
  
  The middle ones aren’t jerky, I’m almost positive they’re Takis. Also pretty sure the quality eggs are those Cadbury egg things. I’ve I’m missing the joke here then whoosh on my part sorry.
- It's transparent ...
  
  But the contents are not clear. Those aren't quail eggs and those Takis are tomato.

Lol ... I've got the exact same container .... perfect size for all my regular drill bits
Yours has a better stash though ... good travels!
- LOL, drill bits here as well.
  
  Drill bits and bolts

Did you use a fishing tackle box as a bento box?
- Yes, but that's why I get to call it a snackle box, so it all works out.

That's a lot of bully sticks for you to chew on, must be a long flight.

I never made a snacklebox for a flight, but definitely for road trips. They’re great.
- This seems like a brilliant marketing idea.
  Repurpose containers and call them "Snacklebox for Men". Throw some jerky images, a picture of a bear with a machine gun, a sexy lady in a bikini.

Seriously, is this full of dog treats? I have no idea what I'm looking at.

Do you have a link for the box? As a dad with a toddler that's amazing!
- Standard size one from WalMart, I don't have a specific link but they have all kinds of sizes.
  
  So, not intended for food? Not sure I'd trust that plastic for direct food contact
  
  Thanks!
- It's a tackle box
- We got 1 for each of my kids when we flew cross country. They were perfect. 3 and 5 year old and they thought they were the coolest things
- Harbor Freight used to have them for $2, where I got mine.

Do you let you with that? They take away my water.
- Yeah foods are mostly fine, it's liquid items they restrict. Their website goes into pretty good detail of what items they limit and how much.
- I pack a food bag when I fly, with a killer sandwich, and a bunch of snacks.
  Never a problem.
- Here in America, they always confiscate my snacks, then force me to buy their overpriced food in the terminal if I want snacks. I wish I could take my own snackle box with me on flights.
  
  They what? I bring lunch boxes all the time when I fly. Many investigate but 100% of the time, they shrug. Never had it taken.
  Not like soup or anything. Often chips, sandwich, Chinese food, burgers.
  Also in the US.
  
  They'll take things like yogurt or Applesauce because they count as liquid but this box would be fine.

You’re about to be the happiest person on that plane

I always bring snacks to a flighy, often in a box. Even if it's chips, want to be able to squish my backpack into the overhead bin without worrying about the bag bursting or getting crushed

My nieces had this and it's honestly brilliant. Also, it’s necessary for anyone with restrictions/allergies.

You are a terrible person, that will smell over the entire plane, I hope you were sat at the very back of the plane if you got it through security, and that is where the cabin air exits.
- Taki's and dried sausage? I'm not sure why you think either of those would smell much but I think you should consider therapy.
- No matter what’s in that box I guarantee you vendors in the airport itself sell worse smelling shit gate side.
  
  That is not a challange...
- Huh.. that will not smell in the slightest lol. I guarantee most of the people on the plane will be carrying around a scent stronger than that box of snack foods.
  
  I have yet to find any dried sausage that didn't smell, some smell more than others, but a dried sausage will absolutely smell more than a bar of chocolate...
  I like the smell of dried sausages, in limited ammounts, not having someone eating a box full of dried sausages when we are locked together in a plane with no way of getting away from the smell....
