1. A multi-compartmented sandwich storage device, said device comprising: a top storage compartment having a plurality of side walls and a bottom wall that form a female storage chamber having an edge, and an air tight sealing member disposed thereon,said top storage compartment further including a male lid member that is removably engaged with the edge and the sealing member of the top female storage chamber so as to form a hermetically sealed compartment;a bottom storage compartment having a plurality of side walls and a bottom wall that form a female storage chamber having an edge, and an air tight sealing member disposed thereon,said bottom storage compartment further including a male lid member that is removably engaged with the edge and the sealing member of the bottom female storage chamber so as to form a hermetically sealed compartment;a central storage compartment having a top end that is hingedly secured to the top storage compartment at a first side, and a bottom end that is hingedly secured to the bottom storage compartment at a second side, said first and second sides being opposite to each other, wherein said central hermetic storage compartment comprises of a storage body having a top perimeter edge and a bottom perimeter edge, each of said edges including an air tight sealing member disposed thereon,said central storage compartment further including at least one horizontally disposed aperture with an air tight sealing member disposed about its perimeter; andat least one flat separating member having an air tight sealing member disposed about a perimeter thereof, said separating member being sized and configured to removably engage the horizontally disposed aperture of the storage body such that when the separating member is engaged with the horizontally disposed aperture of the storage body, the central storage compartment comprises two distinct sub-compartments and when the separating member is disengaged with the horizontally disposed aperture, the central storage compartment comprises a single hermetically sealed storage compartment. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein each of the sealing members are further configured to lock the compartments into a closed position. 3. The device of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of connectors disposed along each of the top compartment, the central compartment and the bottom compartment, said connectors functioning to secure each compartment in a closed position. 4. The device of claim 3, wherein the connectors include at least one of hook and loop material, and a compression fitting. 5. The device of claim 3, wherein the connectors include a plurality of magnetic elements. 6. The device of claim 1, further comprising: at least one one-way air valve disposed about the device, sized and configured to engage a vacuuming device to remove air from the storage chambers of the device. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the device is composed of injection molded plastic, and each hinge is a living hinge. 8. The device of claim 1, further comprising: a plurality of condiment holders disposed within at least one of the device compartments. 9. A multi-compartmented sandwich storage device, comprising: a top hermetic storage compartment, wherein said top hermetic storage compartment comprises of a female storage chamber with an edge, and a rubber gasket member disposed about said edge, and a removably attachable male lid member sized and configured to engage the edge of the female storage chamber such that the top storage compartment is hermetically sealed when the male lid member is engaged with the edge of the female storage chamber;a central hermetic storage compartment, having a top end and a bottom end, hingedly attached to the top hermetic storage compartment, wherein said central hermetic storage compartment comprises of a storage body having a top perimeter edge and a bottom perimeter edge, with a rubber gasket disposed along said top perimeter edge and said bottom perimeter edge, wherein said storage body defines least one horizontally disposed aperture with a rubber gasket disposed about its perimeter; andat least one flat separating member, having a perimeter edge, with a rubber gasket disposed about said perimeter edge, wherein said separating member is sized and configured to removably engage the horizontally disposed aperture of the storage body sized and configured such that when the separating member is engaged with the horizontally disposed aperture of the storage body, the central storage compartment comprises two distinct sub-compartments and when the separating member is disengaged with the horizontally disposed aperture, the central storage compartment comprises of a single storage compartment; anda bottom hermetic storage compartment hingedly attached to the bottom end of the central hermetic storage compartment, wherein said bottom hermetic storage compartment comprises of a female storage chamber with an edge and a removably attachable male lid member sized and configured to engage the edge of the female storage chamber such that the bottom storage compartment is hermetically sealed when the male lid member is engaged with the edge of the female storage chamber. 10. A method of storing a sandwich in a sandwich storage device, said method comprising: providing a multi-compartmented sandwich storage device that includes a top storage compartment having a plurality of side walls, a bottom wall and a lid that is hingedly secured to at least one of the side walls,a bottom storage compartment having a plurality of side walls, a bottom wall and a lid that is hingedly secured to at least one of the side walls,a generally hollow central compartment having a plurality of side walls and an elongated aperture, said central compartment being hingedly secured to the top storage compartment at a first end, and hingedly secured to the bottom storage compartment at a second end, andat least one flat separating member disposed within the aperture,wherein the top and bottom storage compartments are secured to the central compartment in a generally inverse relation to each other;placing a first piece of bread in the top storage compartment;closing the lid of the top storage compartment and sealing the bread therein;placing sandwich meat in the central storage compartment;engaging the separating member with the horizontally disposed aperture of the storage body;placing accouterments onto the separating member;rotating the top storage compartment into a secured position thereby engaging the central storage compartment;rotating the entire device 180 degrees;placing a second piece of bread in the bottom storage compartment;closing the lid of the bottom storage compartment and sealing the second piece of bread therein; androtating the bottom storage compartment into a secured position thereby engaging the central storage compartment.
