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.

Funny how the OP's bento site features some incredibly uninspired lunchy stuff (um, yay, pasta and plain sauce?) and the person she's pointing fingers at has some very cool inspired ideas, making money/marketing or no.

Also, now I want one of those tiny rounds of cheese!

True, although I do enjoy the OP's bento site just because she has the odd good tip for using up leftovers and getting things ready really quickly in the morning (I say as a lazy person who is NOT getting up early to make lunch. :-))

I thought the exact same thing when I saw it.

What could be more delicious than your own tiny round of cheese with crackers and olives and then fruit in a separate container!

Oh, Babybels? I know they sell them at Costco, and I'm pretty sure they sell them at supermarkets. There's a little sack of them in our fridge.

Ah, Babybel! Fond memories of getting the wax stuck in the carpet (like every French kid did) and of my Mom yelling at me!

Aww! Yes, the wax must be great fun for kids.

Honestly, the wax was the big reason I bought them. Eat the cheese, then go to town with the wax it came in!
