Girl Loses It At "Pizza Is My Boyfriend" Lunchbox
Despite the fact that pizza is maybe one of our oldest culinary innovations, 2016 has become the year to celebrate it. It's as if every twentysomething made an unspoken pact to be true to pizza this year, and we're all in a romantic relationship with the dish — which is exactly why a video of a toddler who can't stop laughing over a "Pizza Is My Boyfriend" lunchbox has the legs to go viral. Seriously, it won't be long before the "pizza is my boyfriend" logo makes its way to tube socks, doormats, and temporary tattoos.
It's clear that we're in a pizza-loving climate. For our parents, it was the age of Aquarius. For us, it's the age of pepperoni. When we were kids, Disney princes were boss; they held a spell over our hearts. As young adults, pizza rules our heart. So watching this adorable little girl lose herself over the concept of dating pizza only reminds me of what it was like when my mother would ask me if I wanted to marry Aladdin. I erupted in the same swell of giggles. I cracked my self up. Fell down laughing. Couldn't look her in the eye. Which leads me to believe that this little girl does want pizza to be her boyfriend — in fact, that's exactly what she wants. I know that look of love. Watch this video and let your heart melt like the top layer of a cheesy mozzarella topping fresh out of the oven:
But what's maybe more important that the insane cuteness of this exchange is the fact that this lunch box is real and it's out there and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Here it is, because if you ever needed an excuse to go green and start bringing your lunch to work, this is it:
