Are you bragging that you get paid "enough money" to buy a $5 sandwich combo from Subway to eat at your desk like a cuck? You're more pathetic than I thought.

This looks like a good place to ask:

I'm looking for a bento box, it cant be pinku (that's Japanese for pink) or any girl color. It has to be of 2 or more kotoba (that's Japanese for 2 compartments) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 bux. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii [cute]). And it would be nice if it came with matching chopstick holder (WITH chopsticks). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of ceramic, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (Korea) or whatever. I have found a bento box similar to the one im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 kotoba, and i don't want my gohan (rice) to touch my other things (it can get wet and i would not like that, plus 2 compartments looks more kawaii)

It all depends on how much food you want, and if you want a hard container or one of the bag type things. I personally use an older "Coleman Lil' Oscar" like pic related. I work construction, and it holds 2 sandwiches, a salad, a banana, a 6 pack of pecan twirls and a small container of anchovies wrapped around capers. Though I could use something larger, I like the smaller size of it. Smaller lunch boxes require finding very perfectly fitting plastic containers for salads, and sammiches can go in bags or their own plastic box. Not even going to lie, my shit is crammed in there jelly tight. I hate carrying larger than I need.

In my younger days, that was not far off. I haven't drank in years my friend. Nothing but the essentials to make it through the day. For the last 8 years I have eaten the exact same thing every day, so I have the packing methods down to a science. It really is packed tight.

My 2 sandwiches always use all natural crunchy peanutbutter (Recently Pic's brand) with either Homemade jam/jelly or applebutter or if I am feeling juvenile marshmallow fluff. My salad dressings are always vinaigrette of some kind, as they don't go bad and I can let them sitting in the job trailer on the lunch table. Its one less thing to carry around.

I may snack on the rest of the pecan twirls through he day.
