Lunchables, once the nemesis of health-conscious parents, now have the seal of approval from the US government.
The bento-like box of crackers, deli meats and other snacks has been available in grocery stores since 1988, but will start to be offered in school cafeterias this autumn.
The product will be reformulated to offer two options that comply with school nutritional guidelines.
But can the lunch choice of the cool-kid table convince its detractors?
Ask any millennial, and they will tell you - there were two kinds of children growing up: The ones who were allowed to eat Lunchables, and the ones who were not.
Honestly, I'd kinda forgotten about these . I never had them myself (they didn't appeal to me a whole lot), but they were certainly popular at the time.
I guess it's because the school kids who grew up with Lunchables now have school kids themselves... which makes me feel a bit old, especially since I don't have them myself !
