Can you test some of the other lunch bento boxes on the market? I really like your site, however, the focus on vintage pieces which I see overwhelmingly contain the nasties aren’t practical to sift through. The indexing needs improvement as well. For new moms for example looking to buy stuff for our kids (new). I don’t know when I’m going to ever give my kid or let my kid play with vintage things (I’m not). Particularly very interested in comprehensive water bottle testing for water bottles sold at big box stores and Lunch Bots and BitKits lunch bento boxes
