- These all expand to hold more food and collapse to save space when not in use
- BPA-free plastic and all that
- Look at these insanely good Amazon reviews where people say it’s perfect and thank it for saving their lives and use lots of exclamation points
- Models: 000-01465, 000-01487, 000-01488 (you guys really need some more unnecessary zeroes in there)
How big is a "piece", anyway?
Look at this bundle. Count up how many pieces you see. If you add up the Cool Gear Bento Box, Salad Kit, and Steamer for a grand total of three pieces, you’re not very good at marketing math.
When Cool Gear crunches the numbers, tallying up every lid, tray, and utensil, they get a whopping total of 17 pieces. That’s almost six times more pieces! Strap yourself in and FEEL THE VALUE!
But why stop there? You’ll also be getting a box, which makes 18. And hey, wait, some packing material: now we’re beyond 20 pieces! So Gear! Many Cool!
Of course, we can slice it even dicier than that. Everything’s made of atoms, right? When you look at it on the atomic level, there are literally billions of pieces in this bundle! Billions of pieces for you to store and carry your food!
Believe it or not, we can pierce the fundamental building blocks of reality for even more pieces! Electrons! Neutrons! Protons! Deeper, DEEPER! Quarks! Gluons! More pieces! MORE PIECES!
3? 17? 18? 22? 17,654,947? “Pieces” can mean any of these things, or any degree of gradation in between. It’s funny: “pieces” is such an adaptable term, it’s almost like it doesn’t tell you anything at all about the product.
Instead of just emphasizing how these pieces expand and collapse to hold more when you’re using them and save space when you’re not, or how the tray has freezer gel built right into it, they had to clutter up the title and waste their hyperbole on a meaningless piece count. If only they’d understood that the only piece that matters is peace of mi- ugh, no, sorry, can’t quite go there. Just saying, these things hold food real good, no matter how many pieces they add up to.
