Thursday Throwback: Lunchables

(Every Thursday WKFTB will bring you a throwback, something that reminds us of our late-80s-early-90s childhood. Today's edition: Lunchables).


Lunchables were kind of the shit when they first came out back in 1st or 2nd grade. Sick of that PB&J everyday, it gave you a lil cracker and cheese lunch. Doesn't really make sense for lunch but people still sweated it.

You had the tradish hame and cheese, turkey and cheese, maybe get crazy and throw a deluxe package with BOTH meats. Then Kraft got nuts with the different types. Mini burgs? Mini pizzas? Friggin Cini Buns? I know one thing, tho, the nachos were firrrreee.

Always came with a Capri Sun or generic 'Cola' and a lil Snickers or Reeses treat for good measure.

Looking back, though, how shitty are those things? Nice Orange/Yellow cheese squares with slimey veiny turkey circles. LOL get outta here.

Check out this commercial from 1990:




Mini Pizza was a dece hit when it first came out, but I wasn't really feelin it, that ice-cold tomato paste and soggy crust:
