I'm a fan of the traditional lunchables. They have all these newfangled lunchables such as tacos, pizza, and cookie pizzas.

Inconcievable...until you try them!

I love the super boxes with the capri suns and the chocolate candy with pop rocks in them.

The downside to lunchables is the absence of food that has any nutritional value, and they are rather expensive when they aren't on sale. Like 4-5 bucks a piece. If you're feeding these to your kids, you're better off paying a few bucks for a school lunch. At least it's hot food and they get milk and vegetables.

+2 stars for the fun factor though. The nachos are so good!

There is no way in pluperfect hell that I'd ever feed this mass-produced, chemically ridden, hydrogenated, corn-syrup packed GARBAGE to my offspring.

Hell no!

People want to blame bad kids on the music, or the video games or any other crap they can use an excuse.

It isnt. Its the Lunchables.

Well, indirectly.

I say this because every evening before bed, my mom or dad or both would help me make my lunch for the next day. We would talk about the day, blah blah and for my brother and i it became routine. In hindsight i KNEW it was because my mom and dad just wanted to spend some time with us. In their schedules...they made the time.

Now, you have these parents that cant possibly be taken away from their fucking day-trading, corporate sales trips to WallaWalla or even their recreations to spend twenty goddamn minutes with their kids. Instead, they buy these prepackaged full of shit goodnesses that are most likely making these kids immune to uranium, but also letting the kids know that "special moments with you Bobby can be best sum up in a small cracker stacked sandwich made of the finest processed "meats" and "cheeses". Oh, and a GoGurt.

Its a fact that Genghis Khan's Mom never helped him make his lunch.

And taking Bobby to the store to pick out his Taco Bell enhanced Lunchable is bullshit too. Knock it off. Taco Bell is bad enough, without Lunchablizing the shit.

I defy anyone to tell me that either parent cant afford 20, fuck...ill give you FIFTEEN minutes to spend with their kids. I will call "Shananigans" on you.

If you have time for goddamn robot job, and waiting in line for your robot latte, and talking on the phone with your robot friends, shave it down and help Bobby make a goddamn PB&J.

Your kids will thank you by not being assholes as adults.

I love compartmentalized food.  I have two different sets of compartmentalized dinnerware.  We never use it but in my head I plan elaborate, vaguely bentoesque meals for my witty, urbane friends.  All the food will be carefully and artfully placed, each item in its special, just-right-sized niche.  It's a kind of sickness. For this reason, even though it's probably the worst possible thing you could give anybody you are trying to help make it out of childhood, I love Lunchables.  

I was a pre-Lunchables-Generation child myself.  Everyday I pretty much had Jif and Welch's on white bread and I'd take it to school, toss it in the locker and either buy my lunch with my allowance or just not eat.  I'm not sure why I didn't tell Mom I wasn't eating the lunches but at the end of the year I would have this massive, moldy collection of dead lunches to shovel out of my locker before I could clear out for the summer.

For this reason, I wish I had been a Lunchables kid.  And for this reason, I hate these little bastards who get to take Lunchables to school now.

1 star for messy cold pizza and for getting hustled for my Reese's Peanut Butter Cup for someone else's garbage snack.

I guess I hate my child then. HAHA. My 5 yr old loves to snack on these, but he doesn't like cheese -- go figure -- so he'll only eat the crackers and the turkey or ham. I don't know if it's because it comes in that packet or what, but whenever we're at the store he is just dying for a Lunchable. I don't know what it is. But if it'll keep him quiet for the duration of our shopping excursion, then I'll get him one.

I loved lunchables. I especially loved the ones with ham and cheddar. You could stack the cheddar and the ham up high and eat it without the crackers! That way, you had a pretty rocking snack for on the bus, too. Also, lunchables came with capri-sun, which was the bomb in a little foil space-packet thing that bent your puny little straw.... Yeah, lunchables, that's what I'm talking about...
