#lunchables

Looking at Lunchables today, with its somewhat slimy bologna and sad little pizza crusts, it is hard to picture the kind of "cool factor" that Lunchables had. But its cachet in the cafeteria in the '90s was almost like a fashion accessory. The yellow box, often adorned with characters from the latest popular TV show or movie, was seemingly everywhere. Though the food itself - sodium-packed lunch meat - was nothing to write home about, its packaging and marketing made it highly desirable for kids. Lunchables also came with a juice pouch and a piece of candy, which could feel like an absolute feast for elementary schoolers.
