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.
