All over plastic lunch boxes
Every time I think I've seen it all, I see something new and stranger.

Over on bentolunch ss_biggie makes a post about how one of their members, thejenn1, has been selling bento lunch boxes from her website bentoyum. The fact that she is both a small business owner and writing articles about her viral marketing makes her...something. I don't know what. This sends the community into an uproar of scandal as people are not happy that she didn't tell them she was in business to make money.

thejenn1 posts in her defense and it snowballs from there. Sockpuppeting accusations, social experiments, just JELUS, and general outrage over if her being a business even makes a difference.

Sit back, pull up some sushi. Kinda small, but tasty, lulz.

	This is my favorite wank in ages. It's given me all sorts of ideas for improvising my own bento lunches. Fun! (Reply to this)

Do these people really every use lunchboxes? Am I the only one who, after putting the lunch box in my bag, running to college, dumping my bag at my desk, running around, accidentally kicking said bag (because I'm a klutz) and then comes back to bag to eat food, finds food dented and bruised? And this is just sandwiches wrapped in glad wrap and an apple?

Heaven FORBID what my hectic lifestyle would do to those pretty lunchbox setups. They would be utterly destroyed. Am I the only one thinking, "What a waste of TIME?"

The only lunchboxes I get excited about are the collectible tin ones at comic book stores.

	I have a Mr Bento, which isn't nearly as pretty as the things they're mostly using, but it's hella practical. I had two lunches out of it last week without even taking it home between. (Reply to this)
