# Anime-Inspired Lunch Boxes The Poke Ball Lunch Box is Perfect for Marathon 'Pokemon Go' Sessions By Michael Hines | Published 2017-05-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poke-ball-lunch-box References: [technabob](https://technabob.com/blog/2017/05/09/poke-ball-pokemon-lunch-box/) & [thinkgeek](http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/jolo/?cpg=cj&ref=&CJURL=&AID=10746449&PID=4087555&SID=3738X624084X55fa3669a566a2e707272e86e23cd8f1&CJID=2617611) The Poke Ball lunch box isn't exactly designed for those who bring a ton of food to work or school. This ThinkGeek creation is only capable of fitting a handful of items due to its unique shape. It stands 6 1/2" tall and is only 5" wide. Those dimensions are a bit tough to picture in your head, but luckily these images show just how tight a squeeze it is. This lunch box is a bit impractical but at the end of the day it's a precise marriage of form and function that is perfectly geeky, a rare combo. While you won't be able to bring a bunch of food with you this Poke Ball lunch box does let everyone know just who the biggest "Pokemon Go" fan at work is. It's available now for $19.99. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Anime-inspired Merchandise:** There is an increasing demand for merchandise inspired by anime and manga that businesses can capitalize on to create unique and specialized products. - **Geeky Lunch Boxes:** There is a potential market for quirky and unconventional lunch boxes that cater to those with niche interests and hobbies. - **Crossover Merchandise:** Businesses can create merchandise that combines different fandoms or interests to appeal to a wider audience and capture new markets. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Anime and Manga:** The anime and manga industry can tap into the popularity of merchandise and create even more unique and specialized products to cater to fans. - **Lunch Box Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can innovate and create new designs and shapes for lunch boxes that cater to niche interests and hobbies in order to capture new markets and increase sales. - **Online Retail:** Online retail stores have the potential to capitalize on the demand for niche and crossover merchandise by offering a wide selection of products to cater to different interests and hobbies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Anime-Themed Virtual Pet Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokenade-monster-ball.md) - [Branded Electric Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crockpot-go.md) - [Anime-Inspired Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pokemon-poke-ball-pizza.md) - [Anime-Themed Meal Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oisix-x-pokmon-meal-kits.md) - [Speaker-Resembling Lunchboxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fender-amp-lunchbox.md) - [All-Inclusive Leakproof Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-box1.md) - [Convenience-Focused Lunch Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunch-bundle.md) - [Sleek Compartmentalized Lunch Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venn-bento-box.md) - [Cheesy Anime-Inspired Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldfish-pokmon-crackers.md)
