It’s hard to maintain an aura of rock n’ roll when you’re forced to pack your own lunches. So what have the cool cats of Obacchi Jacket Lunch Box done to solve the problem?

Besides Public enemy, there’s Kiss, Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones and far too much Rage Against the Machine for my taste in their 25+ page archive of album inspired eats; check it out here.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
