# Anime-Themed Bento Balls The Pokemon Lunch Snack Container is Made for Geek-Tastic Meals By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-04-11 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-snack References: [en.rocketnews24](http://en.rocketnews24.com/2014/04/10/gotta-eat-em-all-with-this-awesome-poke-ball-bento-box/) & [mudainodocument](http://www.mudainodocument.com/archives/54788001.html) Like a [Poké](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/og-poke-bowl) Ball, you'll be amazed at how much stuff can fit inside this Pokémon-themed [lunch snack box](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freezable-lunch-box), or rather, ball. More traditional rectangular or cubed bento boxes may be more practical for stacking and packing, but there's no doubt that this Poké Ball bento container is fun. However, since the circular shape can be a little bit on the awkward side to carry around, the spherical lunch container does come with its own bag. As well, its bottom is flattened out, so that it doesn't try to escape like an elusive, rare Pokémon. The bento ball is perfect for carrying rice and a number of other side dishes, since the protective dome on top will prevent overfilling it, or any spills that will occur as a result. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Anime-themed Products:** There is an opportunity to create themed products inspired by popular anime franchises. - **Fun-shaped Lunch Containers:** Designing fun and unique lunch containers with different shapes can create excitement for consumers. - **Novelty Food Storage:** Creating unusual food storage solutions can appeal to consumers who want something different from traditional lunch boxes. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Children's Products:** Designing products inspired by popular children's fanchises can increase demand for products of this nature. - **Kitchenware:** There could be an opportunity to create new and innovative food storage solutions that are unique and appealing. - **Entertainment Merchandise:** Creating cute and quirky products inspired by popular entertainment franchises can help to boost merchandise sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anime-Themed Virtual Pet Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokenade-monster-ball.md) - [Anime-Themed Meal Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oisix-x-pokmon-meal-kits.md) - [Kid-Focused Meal Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/b-box.md) - [Anime-Inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokemon-poke-ball-pizza.md) - [Sleek Compartmentalized Lunch Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venn-bento-box.md) - [All-Inclusive Leakproof Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-box1.md) - [Meal Preparation Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memobento.md) - [Convenience-Focused Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-bundle.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Metro Payments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easycard-1.md)
