This might be the most well-designed lunchbox ever - here's what it's like

For years, Chris Place rarely packed lunches at home. It was too cumbersome to think about what to make, and lunch was never fun to prepare. So he and his friend Will Matters decided to create the Prepd Pack, a fancy-looking bento box that comes with a handy app to help people prepare satisfying and healthy lunches.

Featuring 140 recipes by Prepd Pack's chefs, the app suggests lunch recipes and syncs their nutritional values with the health app included in your phone.

Place and Matters launched the Prepd Pack on Kickstarter and Indiegogo in early 2016.

Nearly a year later, it has garnered approximately 40,000 preorders and crowd-funded over $4.2 million, says Place, who worked on the lunchbox while at Y Combinator.

Prepd Packs were originally supposed to ship to donors in June, but it has been delayed several months due to manufacturing issues, according to Place.

It's ready to be shipped, and we got one of the first boxes to test. Here's what happened.
