USB-powered lunchbox will melt whatever your mom packed at 140 °F

You know that ham and cheese sandwich your mom packed for you today? Hope you really wanted a grilled cheese sandwich, son, because that's what you're getting, courtesy of this Thanko USB-powered lunchbox.

A product of Japan (surprise!), the Thanko hot box will keep whatever delicacies you bring to work nice and toasty at 140 °F until you're ready to eat. I guess this illustrates a key difference between Japanese and American lunches, as 'round these parts our meals have conformed to the lukewarm insides of the average brown bag, unless we bring a thermos for soup.
