End of an Era: Naruto Lunch Box Death

This week we had to throw away my husband's lunch box. We had been using this for several years and I had in fact picked it up during one of my first years in Japan.

It was one of those deals you sometimes see in Japanese grocery stores where you have to buy so many products from a certain brand in order to qualify for the free item. In this case, I'm pretty sure it was Coca-Cola and I drank a fair amount of soda so I didn't see a problem with buying eight drinks in order to get a couple of lunch boxes.

Luckily I also kept the other lunch box, sporting a different character from the same series, that my husband is now using.
