Mr. Bento @ AmazonI was thinking about getting it to bring lunch to school

I think it would benefit me in the long run because I can actually prepare helathy food instead of buying junk from vending machines(which I shamefully do)

The name alone is enough for me to want it. x3 But I never make bento lunches, I just buy them occasionally.

I thought about getting actual bento boxes but the Mr. bento seemed more appealing. It keeps food hot/cold (depending on how the dishes were prep), the bowls are microwave and dishwasher safe & the best part....
it comes with a bag!

btw I'm sharing Mr. Bento with the bf <3

I'd rather just get one of those cute bento boxes. But they're kind of pricey for the little box that you get, and it might come with a pair of chopsticks.
But anyways, wow it comes with the four bowls? That's a lot for lunch. :O But that's cool though. ^^

Yay! I got it last saturday. The thing I didn't expect was that it comes with a metal spork
Anyways, I'm going to use it tomorrow. I'm so excited!

Actually, now that I think about it, maybe I should get a Mr. Bento too. I was thinking about bringing my lunch to school 'cause the school cafeteria is garbage, so this maybe a nice solution.

I agree. I like the more traditional looking bento box better.

It's not as big as the picture makes it to be. Here are some pics I took of mine with a sewing measuring tape starting from the bottom bowl to the top.
Soup Bowl
Main Dish Bowl
Side Bowl 1
Side Bowl 2
& just for the hell of it...pics of the metal spork
Spork with cover
Mr. Bento Thermal that holds it all

I had tried it the other day & it was a decent size. I placed teriyaki chicken in the bottom bowl, rice in the main, this cinnamon thingy that my bro brought home from coffee bean (had to cut it cuz its was to big) & a little bag of goldfish crakers in the last bowl.
If the Mr. Bento still too big, there is always
Ms Bento or
Mini Bento

yesh.
i soo want one but i want the pretty girly character Japaneses ones.

would make putting my food in there soo fun. Although that thermal one does sound handy when u prepare it hours before you eat it.

Definitely throw in a salad, mainly consisting of mixed greens. Buy a small (and I mean VERY SMALL) air-tight container for the dressing, so that you won't OD on the dressing. Toss some onions/sliced dried mushrooms, etc. in there too. ;P Makes me want to make a salad now with my asian sesame dressing... mmm...
