User scenario & Mapping

Interaction: The child spills crumbs everywhere and touches the snack with dirty hands from playing in the sandbox. The parent has to stop and clean up the mess, and they're worried about hygiene.
Pain: The parent constantly deals with spills, dirty snacks, and the stress of keeping things clean. It disrupts their quality time and adds unnecessary work.

Competitive analysis
Key takeaways
Unique Differentiation: While many snack containers focus on portioning, portability, and being spill-proof, none directly combine all these aspects with an interactive, playful experience that makes snacking fun and hygienic. Monchi’s puppet-like lid brings a unique, engaging element that can appeal to both kids and adults.
Hygiene Focus: Competitors address spill prevention, but Monchi can stand out by emphasizing hands-free snacking, which directly solves hygiene concerns.
User Experience: Monchi can position itself as a product not just for toddlers (like Snack Catcher) but for various age groups, especially for busy adults and commuters, offering mess-free snacking in a playful format that’s missing from the market.
