The NES Lunchbox Gives New Life to Nintendo's Classic Console
Michael Hines — September 27, 2011 — Lifestyle
I wish I could go back to grade school if only to be able to sport the NES Lunchbox. The NES Lunchbox is a custom lunchbox made by Etsy merchant Voodoowares out of old NES systems.
Before you cry foul that an NES should never be destroyed under any circumstances, you should know that the NES systems used to make these lunchboxes are completely irreparable. Each NES Lunchbox is gutted of its components and restored to its former glory. The lunchboxes can be left with the original Nintendo logo on the top or customized to ensure that everyone knows who owns the NES lunchbox. Each lunchbox comes with a geeky haiku printed on the inside that pays tribute to the NES' past and present (as a lunchbox). The NES Lunchbox is available from Voodoowares for a cool $75.
