Mr. Bento! Have all the bunnies seen this? I think it's one of the coolest thing ever! So cool I think I might want one. I'm sorry if this has been posted before.

Yes. But I want Ms. Bento instead. You'll buy it for me, right?

Sure, bento boxes for all the bunnies! Oh wait, pocket lint isn't currency is it?

Ooo I love Mr. Bento! You just found the perfect present for my husband. Thanks! He's going to flip over this.

Although I guess that we could always shop for them somewhere else... I guess London would be the nearest for me. Ooh, I'm meant to be doing a radio session in 10 minutes. Nearly forgot!

Mr. Bento is the Moleskine of lunch boxes. It has its own flickr pool.

There's been an AskMe on this today where dobbs linked to the negative reviews. You might want to think again before buying one...

I get the hint, woman.

I have one and I like it! I don't use him everyday because I am dull and don't pack a broad enough variety of foods, I usually bring some sort of soup, or some sort of vegetable concoction so I don't need all the containers. Overall tho it really does encourage you to pack healthy lunches with a wide variety, if you get into making it all pretty. I recommend the hell outta it!
