I can’t guarantee you’ll be full, but… actually, they might be too cute to even eat.
1. Hello Kitty
“If Hello Kitty is not a cat, I don’t know what to believe anymore!” Yeah, but did you know Hello Kitty is actually a sandwich?

2. Emoticon Riceballs
Wow, is that brown rice and cooked tomatoes? Healthyy! And a Japanese towel to wipe you mouth too.

3. Chewbacca
Uhh, my sandwich looks like Chewbacca. Am I seeing stars? Yes, cheesy stars, in fact. Cheesy star wars. Duh-dum, tsssss…

4. Chick Babies
Lol edamame for beaks, genius. Notice the chick on the left is a girl because it has a flower.

5. Disney
Mickey mouse goldfish! And did you notice the pretzels are also in a similar shape?

6. Falafel Garden
Check out this other post about falafel. I find this quite a unique blend of decór… And is that lotion? Oh no, it’s tahini sauce, the sauce for your falafalafalafel.

7. Mouse Character
We had Mickey Mouse, and now we have… anime mouse character with heart T-shirt and raccoon friend!? …And take a look at the balloon. I thought the end of it was the mouse’s tail.

8. Let’s Go Shopping
Like, oh my gosh, where did you get that dress? Like, are those earring grapes? Cute. And… if you thought I was going to make a Mean Girls reference, you were right. “Get in loser, we’re going fetching.” Wait, did I do it right?

9. A Bug’s Life
At first you only see the little white cloud piece. Then you notice the creepy/cute Rosa Parks ladybug in the back of the box.

10. Be Mine!
A box of Valentines chocolates featuring no chocolate? Oh just kidding, that looks like white chocolate… Oh just kidding again, that’s probably cheese.

11. Rainy Day
What better way than this to recover from a rainy day of your ex making you a Valentines bento box only to break up with you? Look at those strawberry flowers. Just, wow. There is hope again.

12. Octo-Rose
In the world of bento artistry, there is the octo-dog (hot dog cut to look like an octopus). And after all this talk about love, why not an octo-rose?
And speaking of dog…

13. Chihuahua Bento
Jk, I could never eat you, Mister Scruffles! …Jk again, don’t name your dog Mister Scruffles. Especially one like this, which has no scruffles.

14. Robots
Okay, kicking us back into gear… we have robots! I think the top two and bottom two robots are couples on a double date.

15. Artsy Fartsy
Look at the design on this! Inversion of flower pattern on top, checkered apple piece… And notice that little bottle of soy sauce on the top left? Looks kind of like the bottle of tahini sauce in #6. Hmm…

16. Sausage Babies
At first I thought these were just cute sausage babies. But if you notice the top right one, it’s an octo-dog! …And check out that perfectly shaped tomato.

17. Musical Egg
Have you ever played Musical Egg? A hybrid between Musical Chairs and Hot Potato, you pick this egg up and pass it around until the music stops. Whoever it stops on is a rotten egg! :o

18. Arctic Zoo
Yes, the ice would melt by lunchtime. And if this were your normal diet, you’d not only be hungry but also diabetic… But look on the bright side, the colorful fish (top left) are fishing for whales using a pretzel stick. Oh, how the tables have turned!

19. Frogger
Ribbit Ribbit! And…
