#GdnLunch: The best alternative tweets

In response to a Guardian callout to see what's inside the UK's packed lunch, the Twittersphere took the cue to turn the #GdnLunch hashtag into something completely different - here's the best of the alternative tweets

  1. So... when we asked readers to share a picture of their packed lunch with us in response to this story about parents opting for lunchbox meals over canteen dinners... we should've predicted the response which would come in.

  11. But this looks just plain weird:
