The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Sure, mom used to leave inspirational notes in our lunchbox to help get us through the day. But those were usually hand-scribbled on a post-it, and actually encouraged bullies to hit us harder after they stole our lunch.
Instructables user, A Japanese Housewife, knows how to provide some effective and bully-resistant lunchtime encouragement, with The Lego Bento. The lunch was actually made for her husband — we assume a Lego enthusiast — to help get him through the workday.

Whether it’s a brilliantly-bricky donut, or immortalizing the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, the LEGO works of Bruce Lowell need to be checked out. And renderings of actual foodstuffs is only a small part of what Lowell can do with LEGOs, as he’s also been known to construct the occasional KitchenAid Stand Mixer, and even a replica of a Pasadena In-N-Out Burger.
See a lot more of Lowell’s works of food, Star Wars, and other pop culture phenomena here.
We’ve seen it in gummy form, and even on a stick — but now sushi has truly been immortalized in toy brick form. LEGO Sushi, made by artist “Big Daddy” Nelson, is either a great tribute to sushi, or a further reminder that it has finally ventured into dying food trend territory. Either way, go easy on the LEGO wasabi.
Created by artist Bruce Lowell, the LEGO Donut looks good enough to eat… if you squint hard enough.
