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've got management written all over you with ideas like that.

And it beats the never ending stream of sandwiches. Pbj and co only get you through so many years.

Lunchables and dunkaroos anyday

I also loved those as a kid. I didn't like cold cuts so they were the only ones I'd eat.

Allegedly lead tastes sweet so...

I disagree. Your hasty charcuterie was just that. And I bet it was delicious.

Lunchables, on the other hand, are the cheap charcuterie knockoff devised by people who lost their tastebuds decades ago to excessive chainsmoking and the kind of world-weary ennui specific to only the most misanthropic millionaires. Their lack of any sense of smell is only eclipsed by their tenuous grasp on what's left of their zeal for life; a kind of self-hating spiral that not even the most debauchery-packed weekend in Vegas could ever hope to recover. No, these cretins are not people, they are the mere shadows, the faintest of pencil outlines of human beings. Lunchables are the best effort of these people attempting to emulate what they vaguely recall a meal actually is.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if the meeting went like this:
"So, we sell these products by their weight, why don't we add something heavy in there just to boost profits?"

Pizza it's amazing, cold pizza is still a pizza, that makes it amazing, but is still an inferior kind of amazing that hot pizza.

The crazy part to me is that it's specifically the Lunchables made for schools.

Really makes me feel like Sisco or Bon Appetit (industrial prison complex companies) are the ones producing the food, just like they do for prisons.

Breakfast of champions

Been there a few times. Car, too. If you can afford it, they sell hot plates/plug in coolers at Walmart. But my suggestion is a deep fryer. Not the square one, the round one. If you take the basket out, it's essentially just a large pot. You can do anything in it you'd do in a skillet, but can also boil water or make soup. They're invaluable in those situations. Depending on the size of the hotel mini fridge, you can normally get a thing of chicken leg quarters in it. That and some veggies and you can make a million different meals. Hit me up if you want any advice, I've seriously been down that road, and it's not easy, but there are some tips and tricks that make a lot more bearable.

Also living that nice limited money life? Sometimes i feel like McGyver coming up with alternative ways of doing some things.

Hand can opener and canned beans/peas. Already cooked, come in their own serving container. Just need a utensil and a can opener.

Wishing you the best buddy

You absolute monster

Didn't they make one where that was the point? You even had a little sachet of chocolate sauce to spread across the dough.
