Mr. Bento

There is this weird thing on Flickr where people take pictures of lunches they pack in little round Japanese lunch jars called Mr. Bento. Now, there is a lot of weird stuff on Flickr; this is but a lone example. I recently learned that American style bento lunches are all the rage with the internet hoardes, and so I decided to hop on the bandwagon and get me one of those jar things. Mine came not with chopsticks but with a spork, that infamous hybrid utensil that boasts its own Flickr group. Bonus.

I tried documenting my lunch today, which is just sad, when people armed with Octodog cutters and egg molds are making stuff like this and this.

Nonetheless, I may document future lunches.
