      i didn't even know crap like this existed before lunchly, for kids! horrible "food" and preparing those tastebuds for highly processed foods instead of fresh, maybe less palpable stuff. Just prepare a sandwich with some good bread, slice of real cheese, some slices of tomatoes, voila - 10 times better. Or a bowl of salad with some tasty extras. man, i can't believe what i'm seeing.

    The Tesco meal deal in the UK is a bargain. to buy the equivalent in the US (at a 7-eleven, one of the few stores to offer packaged sandwiches) it would cost approx. $4.00 for the sandwich, $1.00 for a small bag of chips (store brand), and at least $2.00 for a beverage, which probably wouldn't be as healthy as a smoothie.

    Fun fact, I stopped eating Lunchables when I was a kid and have no idea how far back it goes but Lunchables were found to contain really high amounts of lead and other heavy metals with some packs being higher and lower depending on what is in the pack.

I found a couple that denounced the findings saying things about "yeah but that's close to the limit in CA", and other stuff downplaying it. Personally 0 lead and heavy metals is what you shoot for with food. Also NPR wrote a report about how the USDA pushed to have them removed from school lunches at the same time, around April of this year. Either way, if I am wrong I am wrong I still wouldn't give any of that garbage to kids. It's cheaper and fresher to get stuff from a deli and make a sandwich than to get overly processed turkey and crackers for close to the same price as a half lb of the relative meat.

      As someone who was a kid that liked these I think part of the appeal came from how well they were marketed. Tons of commercials on all of the tv channels for kids that made them seem fun possibly because around the same time there were a couple of toys that let you make food like the easy bake oven and some that you made bug shaped gummies to gross out your friends. It also helped that there used to be way more variety in the types of food and they were definitely less healthy so it was that feeling of getting away with eating junk food for lunch. As for those “teen” centered ones Im certain the majority of those go to older elementary kids wanting to feel like teens not actual high schoolers lol.

    As an asian living in asia, i just can't believe that this is considered a meal. it doesn't look like a meal, and the calorie count seems too low (although I guess for very young kids perhaps it's enough?). to me the lunchables looks like snacks. except the uploaded one because it has an actual bread. Also all the additional sweet snacks and drinks that come with it. omg.

And yeah, my school lunches were similar. Sandwich, iced coffee popper (I drank coffee even as a kid) and something I'm forgetting, probably a muesli bar or something.

    I feel like putting together your lunch was a cute novelty the first time I tried a given lunchable, and some... uh, flavors were less appealing than others... I feel like I didn't hate the pizza, but looking back now, I don't know why I wouldn't have hated it. All of the ingredients are offensive, it was more just the idea that it's kind of pizza. Compared to a peanut butter sandwich, it was... different.
