Posted by [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-makunouchi-bento) user Near_13, the epic lunchbox can be used as a vehicle to house many sandwiches. After removing most of the cavity from the bread loaf, she placed tons of tiny [crust-less sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/favewich-sb-grape) and put them inside the [literal lunch container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunchgo). The sandwiches contain a variety of ingredients, including what appears to be strawberries, cucumber and salmon. The edible bento box would be a fun project to try recreating for a picnic or party. While it is insanely awesome, it would be entirely too much work to try making on a daily basis. It might not travel very well, either. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Edible Bento Boxes:** This trend could create an opportunity for more unique and creative food packaging designs. - **DIY Picnic Ideas:** This trend could create opportunities for businesses to create picnic or outdoor dining kits for consumers to assemble at home. - **Miniature Food:** This trend could create opportunities for food companies to create bite-sized products for snack or lunch purposes. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry could capitalize on the trend of creating unique and visually appealing food packaging. - **Event Planning:** The event planning industry could capitalize on the trend of unique and interactive dining experiences like DIY picnic or bento box making. - **Packaging and Manufacturing:** The packaging and manufacturing industry could capitalize on the trend of creating unique and sustainable food packaging designs that are both visually appealing and functional. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Vegan Bento Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-bento-box.md) - [Landscape-Inspired Bento Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyobodo-fiume.md) - [Meal Preparation Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memobento.md) - [Kid-Focused Meal Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-box.md) - [Convenience-Focused Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-bundle.md) - [All-Inclusive Leakproof Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-box1.md) - [Stainless Steel Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stainless-steel-lunch-box.md) - [Japanese Bento-Inspired Stationery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bento-jot.md) - [Chef-Made Bento Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erewhon-1.md)
