Don't like them now as a 35 year old grown up. Didn't like them when I was much younger. Not even worth it as a stoner snack.

Pepperoni Pizza Lunchables were the best!

Here's something totally gross. When I was working at Stop & Shop in Forestville, CT I was friends with this homeless guy who used to come in daily to return empty bottles. He would buy a can of Chef Boyardee Mac & Cheese (that s h i t is gross by the way) and he would eat it cold from the can.

Speaking of gross, I always thought the taco Lunchables were gross, the so called "beef" looked like I can't even mention it, because it was so gross and also I like to eat my tacos heaten up, not cold! :P

There was a massive sale on them recently, and I kid you not, I lived on them for a week. I hadn't had a Capri Sun since I left high school, I use to bring a box lunch.

Growing up Lunchables was not something that I would have access to although I have tried some of their offerings a few times but Today Lunchables is something I would never go near at all.


Trying to create Lunchables for Adults would run into some real difficulties in some areas.

Like getting it to meet acceptable fat and sodium levels for an over-50 guy like me.

That's one of them for sure the other areas are in regards to the package sizes (The sizes of the Lunchables packages currently available would be suitable for kids but would be considered too small for adults), The tastes of the adults are different as well (Any Lunchables sandwiches suitable for adults for example would need to include Lettuce and Tomato and possibly if some people prefer it Pickles, Bell Peppers, Onions), The beverages preferred by adults are way different than what the kids prefer (And the beverages would need to be between 12 to 20 Fluid Ounce), And the adults might want to be able to cook the meal (Some times they would be in the mood for lunch that's cooked).

Looking at it from all areas there are much better options other than Lunchables that are suitable for Adults.

The Oscar Mayer Natural Meat & Cheese Plates are the closest thing to an adult version of Lunchables:
