So the other day I was doing some Googling and checking out bento boxes to possibly use to take my lunch with me to work. The reason didn't really have anything to do with being into anime and whatnot, as it was more the fact that it would save me time and money in the long run, as I wouldn't have to give every little thing in my lunch its own ziploc bag, or tupper ware container (not what I use specifically, but it's easier than remembering the actual branding), which means less time washing dishes and less waste since bentos have several sections to them.
After much searching, I came to the conclusion that the Japanese eat really small lunches. I noticed that even the larger and/or two tiered bentos were only large enough to hold a sandwich and a few small sides. I'm not asking for one that can hold a 3 course meal, but it would be nice of it could hold 2 sandwiches, maybe a banana for breakfasts on the go, and a couple decent sized snacks to munch on during my shorter breaks. Is that so wrong?
Or, maybe I'm just your average American who eats too much. -_-
