On the rare occasion, I received the Holy Grail of school lunches, a golden box of mechanically processed nourishment, a compartmental dish of amusements: A Lunchable.
I usually received this special box of awesome the day before a Grocery Outing when all the "healthy" items were gone.
The Holy Grail consisted of an abnormally small squared cheese, a kid-friendly wine cooler labeled "Capri Sun", a circle-shaped meat, generic Ritz Crackers, and pill poppin Skittles.
My last Lunchable occurred around 1998, when I fell victim to the perfectly Kraft-ed marketing scheme: Pizza Lunchables. I was expecting to unwrap a box of warm gooey pie but instead I unwrapped a cold marinara taco marketed as "pizza."
haha. i was all about the pizza. i'm pretty sure i got it a whopping three times. and i look back now... and am glad that i didn't get these everyday.
ReplyDeleteDon't laugh.....I had a lunchables not too long ago, despite the fact that I'm an adult. Hey, they were on sale and I was low on funds and needed to get something to take to work for lunch. Man, those turkey and cheese sandwich cracker combinations were Mmm, mmm good.
ReplyDeleteIt would've been nice to have a larger Capri Sun beverage though.
I don't think I've ever had the pizza one though. The new ones come with desserts...I'm so jealous of the kids these days, sometimes.
