Yeah I was thinking "what do you mean unprepared?" If you had Lunchables, that WAS being prepared!
Yeah I was too broke for lunchables. I got the free school lunch tickets though. Damn, lausd had the goods shit back then.
I used to bring jam and cheese sandwiches from home. You read that right, jam and cheese.
Bologna and American cheese sandwich. I don't think I saw my first lunchable until high school.
The only kids I knew that had lunchables turned out to be middle class rich preps lol. The fuck they have to worry about going to school?
anyone can be bullied or just get hurt playing as a kid. as an adult, having money, phone, wallet, keys, maybe a backpack with anything you may need, you don't really have any worries other than having to be prepared.
I'm 31....used to have lunchables a ton when I was in grade school, holy heck I grabbed one the other day and either the quality is much lower or I had some bad taste as a kid 😂
It's both! Yaaay!
It is 100% both. I also still sometimes grab the pizza lunchables as a 32 year old man. Every single time I’m like “this is going to be an awesome snack” and then when I’m done the post-lunchable clarity kicks in and I’m sad and a little disgusted.
They were never good. Dry, stale crackers. Tiny, slimy meat circles. Salty cheese cubes that taste more like a chemistry experiment than cured cow's milk. As kids our palates are motivated to salty fatty food with much less regard for flavor.
Now, if you want Lunchables for grown-ups, get yourself one of those cheese and cracker platters from a nicer grocery store. Pastrami, salami, pepper jack, gouda, and sesame or butter crackers. Delicious.
Prosciutto, salami, garlic coil, gruyere, Gouda, a nice aged cheddar and some Brie. Breton garden vegetable crackers. Now you've got a snack.
I do this for lunches at work and call them grown up lunchables
Both, but mostly the bad taste as a kid. They're not that much worse now than they were before.
Well I was prepared with my gameboy 😎
Zoomers in the comments like "wtf is an mp3 player"
Just my walkman, a lovingly curated mixtape and me against the world
Ah yeah the first years of anxiety
By the time lunchables showed up in the stores im our small town I was a Jr in high school and was driving over to burger king for $1 whoppers for lunch. Didnt have my first mobile phone until I was forced into getting one for work in 2005...
