A decidedly adult lunch box

Thanksgiving is over, but that doesn't mean you can't take it with you. The start of the workweek may mean getting back to the grind, but it doesn't have to mean trudging off to the same old sandwich shop. Put those rapidly diminishing Thanksgiving leftovers to use and bring them to work. Not only do you get to enjoy the flavor of the holiday in your cubicle, but you can also save yourself from having to endure yet another tasteless sub.

The White Mega Food Carrier comes with three containers for separating foods. You could have turkey soup in one, green beans in another, and mashed potatoes in the last. The containers are then neatly stored inside the insulated carrier for easy transport, with little risk of soup spillage. When it comes time to eat, a utensil pouch is included, which contains chopsticks, a knife, and a spork. The containers are microwave and dishwasher safe and combine for a total capacity of 47 ounces.

Reminiscent of a cross between a Japanese-style bento box and the Indian dabba, this is a well-thought-out design. The included utensils are a nice touch. Lunch can be kept warm if needed, or thrown in the microwave if stored cold. The three containers hold a good amount of food, so you could even share with those jealous coworkers hovering around your desk.
