Super Mario Bento Boxes Make Mouths Happy
March 29th, 2008
A uniquely Japanese cultural phenomenon is Bento box lunches where the meal is dressed up with whimsical imagery so kids will be more inclined to eat their food. Check out this great example featuring the likeness of everyone’s favorite little Italian plumber, crafted entirely from edible items.
From what I can tell, Mario’s face appears to be made out of some sort of lunch meat, while his bright red hat looks like it might be from radishes or other colorful root veggies. But this clearly obsessed Bento fanatic didn’t stop with Mario.
She went on to create edible versions of Luigi, Bowser, Wario, Princess Peach and a bunch of other citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom.
If these don’t get your kids to choke down his or her bologna and Cheese Whiz sandwiches, I don’t know what else would.
Oddly enough, with all the foods used to make these clever creations, I couldn’t find a single mushroom anywhere in the whole bunch.

MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUITO CRIATIVO,PARABENS!!!!
Very nice! But I woudn’t be able to eat these masterpieces!
wow that looks yummy!! ^_^
Mario’s hat, including the M, is made out of a piece of unrolled Krab (a.k.a., surimi Crab Stick).
and Mario’s mustache and any other black parts are made from Nori (seaweed)
I hate Mario Brothers. Crazy Japanese…
Wow! i wanna make my own Bento Buisness! I loooove these things!! Theyre my new obsession!
This is how you get kids to eat their vegetables.
I’d be one happy camper if i had this for lunch.
This is awesome. We need more stuff like this in America.
hi i visit japan every year i am 8 and i love these boxes i always have the princess peach one they are very tasty and only cost £4.00 in uk money
i wanna eat princess peach one!
All that stuff looks discusting and besides Mario is Italian and not Japenese so why don’t you just use one of the manga characters to make your disgusting food.
You do know that the Japanese invented Super Mario, right? Nintendo. LOL.
AHAHA! awesomeness
Back of you freakin luigirules
you are disgusting.
