What does your kid pack for school snack?

I'm not saying yogurt is bad for kids, my kids get it after school. But it is too messy for snack in the classroom. I saw one child's work get ruined because the boy next to her got yogurt on the table and then her paper ended up in it. Just too messy.

I have to agree that I am surprised at how many messy foods people are packing for snack. Maybe it is different by school, but we were told specifically that snack had to be very easy to eat with one hand. And could not be messy. The kids eat it while they are doing other things. Plus snack is thrown into a bin for later. I can't imagine a yogurt or celery stick with sunbutter making it through intact. I wonder how many kids actually get to eat these snacks.
