I remember when these things first came out and I was super excited to try them and also the disappointment when I finally got to try them and they were just god awful.
But they’re certainly not the worst lunchables. The nachos and chicken nuggets are even worse. The nachos you’d think would be fine. Just corn chips and cheese sauce. But the chips are stale and weird tasting and the cheese sauce is also not what you expect from nacho cheese. It’s almost like they are trying to make kids hate junk food by making their junk food taste horrible.
The best ones are still the OGs that just have lunch meat, cheese and crackers. Not quite a fancy charcuterie board, but they also only cost about a dollar or two.
Eh, my kids love them all. But we’re mean parents and hand-pack them healthy lunches for school, so they only get them occasionally as treats. My kids just started school, and today they got freshly cut fruit, rice, and some marinated beef (cooked this morning).
But they’ll inevitably complain when they get home today that their friends got lunchables or the ghetto school lunch or whatever.
You feed your children lead and sodium as a treat??
The lead contamination were only (or at least predominantly) from Lunchables made specifically for schools, not ones that you buy from the grocery store. These are also the ones that have the increased sodium levels (on average by 300mg iirc).
Anyone put the m&ms on it?
No joke last night I went for a late night snack. I pulled out some hard salami, aged Swiss, and some nice crackers. I realized this bastard charcuterie was just a luxury Lunchables.
Back in the day, lunchables were the cool kid food. That and kid cuisine. Now, lunchables seem like what dumpster juices would taste like.
tbh cold pizza is fire
Inspired by ohio valley style pizza
its the charcuterie board for the unwashed masses
Don’t lynch me but… I have to confess that I liked them that way. The greasy & salty pepperoni, the stale crackers, the mushy cheese, all of it. I’m not a picky eater. You could serve me garbage and I’d say you’re a great cook.
Alright, them there’s fighting words!
Let’s also add more and more sodium just to break some records.
You’ve got management written all over you with ideas like that.
And salt is pretty much free and makes the package feel heavier.
Salt wasn’t heavy enough so they also went with lead.
