Review on 🍿 Joie 61001 Assorted Snack Colors by William Fowler

As a diabetic (30+ years), I'm always on the lookout for portable nutrition that prevents hypoglycemia (low blood glucose [BG], 100mg or less) without causing hyperglycemia (rising BG , 150 mg and above). The Ritz Peanut Butter Crackers (also available here) are the right combination of glucose (crackers) and protein (PB) to stop/raise mildly falling glycemic levels without causing hyperglycemia. (For a quick increase in HA levels, it is better to use GU and/or apple juice, albeit with concomitant hyperglycemia.) Literally an excellent middle ground. The Ritz isn't easy to carry without leaving cracker dust and peanut butter smear at the bottom of my shoulder bag. . Joie Msc 61001 keeps 9 crackers safe and secure in one box. It's neater and more discreet than other dip cracker/grubbit boxes; others have large compartments and side tabs that add volume. I'm hesitant to withhold a star as others have pointed out slight opening difficulties. The top is held securely in place by a silicone friction pad along the edge of the box. To open, twist the 2 opposing tabs on one end of the box with thumb and forefinger while the other hand pulls on the indentations in the center of the lid at the top. This will become easier as hands get used to the technique and the seal is polished. I was trying to think of a different design that would leave the box as thin as it is. For my money, it doesn't make much of a difference to the sleekness and neatness that the box offers. I will buy a few more.
