Sure it's been floating around since last year-- not long after that Kurt Cobain action figure made some jaws drop and some fingers wag-- but the fact that we exist in the same world as a Kurt Cobain lunchbox is still a wee bit unsettling.

Indeed, the lunchbox is but one in an onslaught of Cobain-branded products from novelty toy manufacturers National Entertainment Collectibles Association (NECA), who also brought you the aforementioned action figure. Just in case you don't feel comfortable carting your PBJs (cut into triangles with the crust removed, of course), Handi-Snacks, and Juicy Juices to school in a container emblazoned with the image of a man who blew his brains out, well, why not try the lighter, the guitar picks, the dog tags, the necklace, the chain wallet, the flask keychain, or the "unplugged" edition action figure?

The Cobain lunchbox-- with thermos!-- runs around $20 at various online retailers. It's still nowhere near as ridiculous as the Danzig one.

UPDATE: THANKS TO READER THERESA DOUGHERTY, WE NOW KNOW THAT KURT COBAIN LUNCHBOXES HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR AT LEAST SIX YEARS. HOT TOPIC SOLD THEM AS FAR BACK AS 2001.
