USB-Powered Lunch Box Helps You Avoid Co-workers

USB Powered Lunch Box Helps You Avoid Coworkers
Before we scored this sweet job at Switched.com, we were cubicle monkeys. We hated our job so much we became cubicle hermits. We piled packages high on our desk and blocked the entryway, hoping that we could avoid more hair-pulling mindless work if we sealed off our cube from the wilderness of the office.

Unfortunately, we didn't have enough room at our desks for a microwave. That meant braving the common area (full of coworkers!) to heat up our left over rice and beans.

That's why we're a little sad to hear that Thanko is only releasing this USB-powered lunch box now. This soft, insulated lunch bag has heating elements in it that, when plugged into a USB port on your PC, heat your meal up to a steamy 140 degrees. If we had this, it's possible that nobody would have even noticed we were there and we would still have that job... which, now that we think about it, might not be a good thing. [From: OhGizmo!]
