food Lunchables. Do you still eat them?

[ManaMinori 4,145]

I loved Lunchables back in the 90's, as a kid and teen. I see them still in stores, but with new food choices and packaging. However, even in my 30's, I sometimes can't resist the call of nostalgia, and get the old school, simple cheese pizza ones.

Does anyone still eat lunchables, as an adult?

[Sovereign Leader Rarity 12,006]

Ugh, no.

 

A being as divine as Rarity could never indulge in such unsatisfactory confection.

[Zachary 5,521]

I don't eat Lunchables nowadays, The last Lunchables I had was either Cheese Pizza or Pizza with Pepperoni.

[Thuja 3,659]

I used to enjoy having the chocolate pizza one but since that stuff doesn't satisfy me anymore, I just stick with making my own food.

[ManaMinori 4,145]

Ugh, no.

I know they're not that great, but as I said, I only eat them on occasion, for nostalgias sake

...And if Rarity can put BURNT JUICE past her lips. ..

I don't recall that one. But hey, Reese's are SO much better, as far as chocolate options go

( Blushes ) Hey that was an accident!

​I think it was chocolate and had some M&Ms for toppings.  Was it a lunchable...?  I can't quite recall right now.  No wait, it was a regular pizza/chocolate pizza combo.

Actually i don't think I ever eaten a Lunchable in my entire life. O_O

I'm probably in the minority here in that I LOVE Lunchables.  They sell them in the student store on the ground floor of my dorm.  I occasionally get the meat and cheese crackers as snacks, and the pepperoni pizza ones for light meals when the dining center is closed or there's nothing appetizing available.

[BlueStreak98 828]

The last time I had one, I remember being pretty unimpressed, though that was a good long time ago.

[Lil Pip 775]

I wanted them, but it was overpriced c grade food, so its kinda fine I didn't get any.

[DubWolf 17,264]

I had a box probably a month ago, it was ok :-p . It was a quick snack, already made .

[Leave a Whisper 703]

No. It's a little too pricey for crackers, cheese, small candy bars and slices of lunch meat. You can do all that at home anyway.

Ugh so last time I had a Luchable i got super sick (it was the ham and cheese one) and it seems to happen no matter what kind I eat... So I avoid them at all cost now even though I really did like them.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,577]

These days, the only thing holding me back is the price. They are a tad overpriced. If that wasn't the case, I would totally eat them still! The pizza ones specifically, they are great. Would be nice to stock up on a bunch of them to have as a snack if I feel a tad hungry. The nostalgia is just a bonus.

[cmarston1 5,959]

I've never had lunchables period, because I am weird like that.

[Peppermint Larry 203]

I used to eat them nearly every day after school, growing up. Both Lunchables and the generic Lunch Makers.

 

I haven't had any in seven years, save for the two I had within the last month. I thoroughly enjoyed the popcorn chicken "kaboble" one that was not around when I was a kid. While I'd of thought the pizza one would bring many joyous memories, it just kinda sucked, imo. Fun to assemble, tho 

 

I don't see myself buying them on a regular basis anytime soon, however. The actual Lunchables are way too overpriced and not really filling, and the less-pricey Lunch Makers just seem to be cheese, ham, and crackers. I'd much rather just buy Ritz, a block of cheese, and a bag of pepperoni at that point.

true, they are pricey, but I found some for a dollar a pop at my local 99 cent store. Not a bad price of course, I stocked up

[Celtore 2,770]

I remember enjoying making and eating the pizza one when I was a kid, but it honestly wasnt that great from what I remember. Better than a generic cold coldcut wrap though. I dont think ive had one in roughly 10 years, instead I just throw together my own ingredients rather than the stuff they prepackaged together.

[simba86 1,541]

I used to love them but now that i am older there is not enough in them to really be considered "lunch" because I burn so much

[Denim&Venöm 19,070]

Oh hell naw. Not nearly enough carbs to give me energy I need for my day. 

[SONICchaos 824]

Im 30 years old and yes...yes I do. Even at work.

 

You'll see me make those crappy little Frisbee pizzas with artificial ingredients(seriously the pepperoni is just flavored sausage) but I dont care!

isn't all pepperoni just flavored sausage? And isn't all sausage supposed to be flavorful? (Asks the vegetarian)

[TigerGeekGuy 4,662]

I loved those things as a kid, the ham and cheese on crackers was my favorite. Sadly, I rarely eat them anymore, still a great nostalgia snack though.

Well if you wanna get all metaphysical then I suppose yeah   

 

I mean technically pepperoni is a sausage but its got other ingredients. The ones in lunchables are just artificially flavored. In fact most of the "food" products in lunchables are artificial.
