Remembering Lunchables

[@pintofmiller]

Can’t believe I just watched you eat lunchables. Best video on lunchables ever.

You are right. Nothing more alluring than a gamer proving they are actually human and need feeding once in a while. And I don't just mean with more video games! Especially ones with skulls on the clothes. I don't remember lunchables here in the U.K., but maybe we had them?

[@thestwinner680]

Lunchables Crunchables

[@mylessilas5141]

i know Im randomly asking but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any help you can give me.

@Myles Silas instablaster :)

[@thenerdwave2666]

The kid with lunchables was truly the envy of the lunch table, good times. Unless of course, someone's parents brought them McDonalds.

[@AFchris77]

One of my fav memories is watching a joust at King Richard’s Faire in 5th grade (1996ish) sitting on the grass eating Lunchables pizza.

[@shawn_530]

Lunchables were about a decade too late for me. I remember seeing them at the grocery store and thinking that all of the components must pretty much taste the same. It’s really just one big sodium bomb. You need a few more Capri Suns to wash it down. That said, what a fun video. I learned about the Lunchables experience and LOL’d a lot. Hope you’ll do more non-gaming related stuff like this!! 👍🏻

[@maatiisan]

In elementary school, my classmates and I would "snack" on uncooked noodles. Not the "cup" noodles but the "square" noodles. We would just crush the noodles and sprinkle the flavor packet in the bag, and toss and mix. Yum!

"My 5 year old starting puking uncontrollably."

[@h2oceann]

In my 30s and still buy these when i go on vacation to a cottage/cabin

[@Z64sports]

Joe Blow Cause the lunchables is conveniently in one package

[@csantos9173]

Your family getting you your own room during a reunion and/or funeral. Doesn't count as eating it on vacation

[@herbcruz4697]

Lunchables made lunch in elementary school lit af, when it wasn't actually Pizza Day at school! I'm digging the non-gaming variety. The Pizza and the Nacho Lunchables were the dopest ones. Thanks, Erin!

[@ErinPlays]

Lunchables were the most lit. And I'm glad to hear you enjoy my videos even if they aren't gaming related!

[@herbcruz4697]

Erin Plays Since this is a food-related video, does this mean that Erin Cooks is coming back?

[@MilaMarieRose]

I really like your Felix the Cat and Tomorrowland Submarine Voyage posters. I actually have the Submarine Voyage one too. I'm a huge Disneyland fan. Felix the Cat on NES is a big favorite of mine as well.

[@AlphaofEltar]

Lunchables! 😍 I found them last year in London and immediatly bought 3 packages! The good old times! Awesome video! ❤

[@mdmax09]

My dream has been answered a nostalgic video dedicated to Lunchables! My grandmother insisted on me microwaving the little pizzas. I haven’t been paying that much attention as I had no idea there was much variety after the release of the gross hotdog ones. Thanks so much for sharing! Awesome content as always!

[@hoodknewz4890]

You help me sleep at night. I can't sleep in silence. Other VG stuff keeps me up. Bloop bloop. You're soothing. Great mixing.

[@storageanddisposal]

The Jackalope is also super 90s to me. I remember when both Bob Sagat and Dave Coulier from Full House had America's Funniest... shows at the same time. Coulier's pretty much had a rabbit with antlers as the mascot, for whatever reason. Yeah, I loved the pizza one. I liked the meat, cheese, and crackers when I was a kid, but I can still remember the taste of the cheese on those and it doesn't appeal to me at all nowadays. It's so bad nostalgia can't save it. I don't think my mom let me eat the nachos one very often because, come on, it's nachos.

[@Shr13k]

Or whatever your gross kid wants to eat! I just pissed myself laughing

[@newwavejunkie]

An Alex Mack video would probably be my favorite on this channel ever! Awesome video, Erin! Cool to see you doing different types of content.

[@ErinPlays]

I don't remember much about Alex Mac unfortunately. I just remember she melted. I was too busy watching Salute Your Shorts :( And thank you!

[@newwavejunkie]

Erin Plays I won’t hold that against you! I watched Salute Your Shorts too.

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

I actually binge-watched the two seasons of Salute Your Shorts a few weeks ago. IMO it was the best live-action 90's Nick show. If you want your mind blown, search for "Shelter Dogs Take Me Home" it's a recent song where Budnick is the singer. Also Donkeylips has a youtube channel called HeyBower.

There needs to be an 80s/90s con for nerdy things...call it Nostalgicon. I'd live there...

[@goremall]

It’s amazing we lived this long with all the crap we put into our bodies in the 80’s and 90’s 😂 Awesome video, so nostalgic

[@walkingcorpse1224]

Oh damn, that's right, Erin is from the 80's. I think she's in her mid 30's. I'm not quite there yet, but uh, well I'll get there soon. Not looking forward to it, but I ain't dreadin' it either.

[@sparrowthesissy2186]

I used to make giant tower sandwiches out of the normal ones and try to unhinge my jaw like a snake to eat them all at once. My favorite was the taco ones even though the meat smelled funky.

[@supergeoff]

I always enjoy eating Lunchables during the early 90's watching disney afternoon,I also the LooneyTunes tv dinners with a prize like a sticker or a tattoos

[@chubbycatfish4573]

You unlocked a memory with the T-1000 kids in that Capri sun commercial.

[@JiggyWiggyASMR]

I actually did pick up a Lunchable pizza and tried it out. It was surprisingly unchanged. It still made me say "I can't believe I used to put this in my body" though :p

[@deezyah]

Miniature sized food has some strange kind of appeal. Well, I’m definitely hungry now. Great video, as always!

[@4thcoming]

Erin Dunkaroos? Ecto 1? Pizza Hut? Subway? Taco Bell? Happy meals and McRib!!! I still eat lunchables. The post 2000 ones lol.

[@AtariNerd2600]

4thcoming pizza hut personal pan pizza from reading a book from bookit ftw

[@spartansfan1026]

I remember coming home and eating these while watching Pokemon with my friends. Hard to believe that was so long ago. Thanks for helping me remember those good times!

[@thrwawyacct]

Erin boasts a channel with a higher nostalgia per second than anyone else on KZbin. A lot of this stuff, I was too poor to get when I was a kid, but it's cool to see and hear about, still... Like lunchables. My mom gave me carrots, buttered Texas toast, and celery for lunch every day. NO ONE wanted to trade with me!

[@ravenstrahd5234]

Erin, you are right, melted cheese does taste different. When heat is applied to cheese, it causes the lactose to become more concentrated.

[@homejonny9326]

Thanks for sharing. Very amusing off the topic video.

[@RyderLComics]

Loving this kind of content Erin, can't wait to see more!

[@SwitchKraftMan]

I remember those pizza and nachos... I would beg my mom to get my them so I could be the coolest kid at school and then ended up sneaking them all in my belly on the weekend! Capri sun was the coolest drink on earth because no matter the flavour, it was clear! Mind=blown. Glad to be a part of your favourite video game video on Nerdy and Squirdy’s channel! I’m the newest member of the crew.

[@macman2500]

I remember trying to stuff all the pizza toppings onto one crust. Great video, more food in the future please!

[@Marshmaster85]

Ahh yes. The pizza lunchables have I distinct taste, that I will always remember. Would totally still enjoy them in my adulthood. Lol

[@RaceToNowhere]

As a kid I used to love sponged bread with raw tomatoes sliced all over the surface, with a little salt, olive oil and basil. It was a blast, basically a fresh, fast and summer pizza. I also used to love lemon tea, so much.

[@the1ucidone]

Erin I'm actually amazed on the amount of research you have done for this. I'm a simple man, I see an Erin video and I press like. :)

[@csantos9173]

Thirsty

[@AsteriskSS]

You know, I'd have to say to myself, "Why would I want to watch a video about Lunchables?" Yet, I was thoroughly entertained. So much so, I'm driving to my midnight convenient store for Lunchables. What evil are you spreading, Erin? Ah... processed meat and cheese.

[@user-jv7gr1jb3r]

Erin Plays and Teddy Rubskin have the best snack time content. I mean food adventures are tame but it's still an adventure.

[@Beyond64bit]

I still eat lunchables at work at 3 am. There good to help keep me going. I didn't know they made so many different kinds. I've only seen the usual that are always stocked.

[@garagegamer6484]

I used to eat the first crust just plain and save all the toppings for the last pizza crust. Awesome video!!!

[@hELLLcs]

It was a very funny video and nostalgic! "the salsa is watery and like..not good" I don't know why but you made me laugh!

[@Adam-ht4nr]

erin makeing me feel old girl. thanks

[@diekenford3904]

I use to love the Pizza Lunchables. I still enjoy them when they are 10 for $10. They are quick, fast, and an easy lunch. Great video Erin!! :-)

[@battra92]

Hey, Mr. Bungle! I don't remember ever getting a Lunchable. I was the kid with the peanut butter sandwich every single day.

[@aehachiroku17]

Calling kids gross, bully Erin is confirmed. Surge and 3d Doritos is real childhood.

[@ErinPlays]

Oh my god I forgot about 3D Doritos. And hey, I was a SUPER duper nice kid :)

[@PapaSeriaMikeRIP]

Surge was life. I remember saving one of their limited edition 40 oz. launch cans for years after the fact. So glad it made a modern day come back.

[@aehachiroku17]

Joe Blow go soak yourself! Hot Cheetos are simply Devine!

[@christopherduncan9907]

I love Lunchables and the pizza back in the day with the Capri sun and you can't go wrong with the Capri Sun juice pouches and Awesome video Erin and you always stay creative and that's a very good thing and you are a great inspiration ☺️

[@ErinPlays]

Thanks so much!

[@christopherduncan9907]

You welcome Erin 🙂 and my retro video games will be on KZbin soon.

[@hoodknewz4890]

Thanks!

[@db4life925]

I remember having lunchables in the early 90s. I agree they have gotten out of hand with them now. Every now and then I'll have them for lunch at work lol.

[@joefil1991]

This video speaks to me. Lunchables are still bomb at 27 years old, too.

[@aarns4642]

Back in my day, me and my boys would go to 7/11 before school and buy matching pizza lunchables, then at lunch time we would throw away everything besides the sauce and we would all chug that sucker. Good times.

[@ErinPlays]

Siiiick

[@Nuisance_Bear]

What a waste

[@LuffyGear2JetPistol]

This was just too adorable, Erin! Please bring back this vid series and eat more 90s type foods! :D Trip down memory lane fsho! haha

[@megasquals]

The platypi are crying because Australia has none of this food wizardry

[@NMC_1980]

I was too old and thought the very idea of lunchables were disgusting, so to this day I have never had the interest to try them. Also, watching you relive your childhood through that pizza snack was neat. :)

[@MattGuitarPlayer]

God, I'm old...I remember when they had taco, cheeseburger, and hot dog ones that came with cans of soda in them lol Used to plow through taco, pizza, and nacho ones while I watched Goosebumps, Scariest Places On Earth, and Real Scary Stories haha

[@jsb0714]

I remember when Lunchables were brand new. The meat, cheese, crackers combo back then came with this herb sauce to put on them which wasn't bad. I believe a napkin was included as well!

[@jasonscarborough94]

I remember loving the ham and cracker lunchables as a kid, I also vaguely remember my brother and I microwaving the pizza lunchables when we were home alone, but, I might be getting two different products confused in my mind

[@Spintechfilms]

Thank god im not the only one thst remembers The Secret World of Alex Mac

[@joshmartimez2235]

As a kid i would eat Lunchables. Usually had the ham,cheese and crackers or turkey,cheese and crackers. I tried the pizza one bsck in the 90s and didn't like it. Now I'll eat a Lunchable at work for a snack every now and then.

[@AaronC143]

I still eat the pepperoni pizza lunchables to this day. I've been eating them since they were first introduced. I was 11 years old back then. Still my favorite.

[@friskygato]

Lol! I remember having trouble sticking the straw in the pouch and not being able to drink it. So frustrating!

[@MrWolfTickets]

3:40- i got in trouble in kindergarten for calling a few girls in the class and singing the (then current) Capri Sun commercial into their answering machines. It was fall 1983. 'There's only one, CAPRI SUN!!' (uh oh, am i doing the same thing here?)

[@aaronboothproduction]

I was in a constant Lunchable cycle as a kid - Bug parents for Lunchables, get a Lunchable, eat a Lunchable, Feel grossed out and disappointed by the Lunchable, Two weeks later develop Lunchable Amnesia, Start the cycle anew.

[@chuckobscure]

I still eat the Pizza ones regularly at age 33, haha. Tip: Heat them in the microwave for like 30 seconds on high, just until the cheese melts. I liked the hot dog ones, too.

[@chuckobscure]

Another tip, put the straw through the bottom of the Capri Sun pouch, that's what we used to do. :)

[@jamierose9095]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wondered why there's Brunch but no Linner. My parents never bought lunchables when I was a kid. They thought cheese and crackers wouldn't be enough to sate us for the day. Funny thing is, I ate these all the time a few years ago when I went back to school. I like which ever one has a Reese's in it.

[@0wolfen0]

The pizza looks like the one that appears in back to the future 2. Thumbs up on the video, your channel is awesome :)

[@Clos93]

0wolfen0 remember watching that movie back in like 2003 when I was a kid, I really thought that they're would be shit like that in 10 years....

[@DEVIANTGEIST]

Yep. I still eat Lunchables. I hated them in the school days, but now, they are a nice quick pick me up. Turkey....is always my go to classic.

[@traviswebb7585]

I miss fruit rollups. Back when there were twenty flavors

[@poleythepolarbear9706]

Surprisingly (or not), I totally forgot that Lunchables existed till I saw them in the grocery store about a year ago. Then decided to get some to see if they were as I remember them growing up in the 80's, and 90's. They were not bad, but I stuck with the classic Ham, Cheese, and Crackers. They are okay in a pinch, but they are not that great either....

[@DjFeLL]

Lunchables are awesome ! I used to always eat them growing up ! Also loved Capri Sun too !

[@Videogamelover58]

I love lunchables so much. Awesome video Erin :)

[@sakehump7536]

That mascot is the meat.. and it also produces the cheese!

[@jonquixote7691]

I remember walking tacos being a staple of convention volunteers, since most of them didn't have a lot of time to sit down and eat lunch. I'm pretty sure that was before they were available as Lunchables. Now, if only someone invented walking showers...

[@DrewM47]

I agree with Erin about the cold cheese thing. That's why we used to microwave our pizza lunchables.

[@tevinhoward4419]

I have lunchbles during my central school days.

[@necrothorne0]

I ate the ham & cheese, and the turkey & swiss lunchables. I loved and still like the ham & cheese. I never bothered to try any others, and they came around when I was almost in college. Your personality is adorable and fun to watch, Erin, and you're a beautiful girl so thanks for these videos.

[@MicMacIRL]

We gotta be around the same age. I remember those commercials vividly

[@dwaynecedillos5139]

I remember Lunchables a bit early 90's but mostly mid and late 90's. And kind of early 2000's. When I was little boy and early teens in the mid and late 90's, I use to eat Lunchables.

[@SilentDrifterGT]

Love getting Lunchables when I went on field trips. Now that my niece and nephew have them, it seems like they are a lot smaller.

[@foxzygranpa]

I remember those bootleg ones that had no drink but were like 75 cents

[@jonathanarras1281]

That crack about kids sitting on their asses playing fortnight hit me so hard, I was crying laughing. Fellow 90s kid here.

[@astrozombie8188]

Wow nostalgia. lol I haven't thought about Alex Mack for years! Fun video!

[@TrooperLITE]

Begged my parents to buy me the Hot Dogs and Burgers when they came out around 96 or so

[@herbcruz4697]

TrooperLITE The Hot Dog and the Burger Lunchables were disgusting. They tasted like straight-up ass, especially the Hot Dog one.

[@gb6710]

Herb Cruz you ate ass as a kid?

[@whatthe5954]

Every person who ate/eats pizza lunchables cold is a savage, haha I was blown away when I learned people didn't ask a lunch lady at school.

[@VGMrawk]

I had pizza lunch ables as a kid and I've even had them a few times recently. Nice quick snack on lunch break.

[@attackofthetheeyecreatures3472]

I think the only times I got interested in food from commercials is when there were superheroes or cartoon characters on the packaging. Probably why I loved cereal. I didn't appreciate Lunchables until I became an adult. I didn't appreciate most foods until I became an adult.

[@WesleyMesser]

I think the only one out of the Lunchables you had I never tried was the nacho lunchables. The Pizza ones bring back great memories for me too.

[@ChannelVideoYoutube]

I actually remember getting the tiny hot dogs & pizza lunchables. Nothing beats the m&m dessert pizza , wasn't quite impressed with the breakfast version that came out later . I'll get a pizza one every now and then lol 😋 nice vid erin 😊

[@npc9879]

My gross kid takes one to school at least twice a week. It’s better then having to wake up early and make lunch for him. Great video, nothing beats watching someone awkwardly eat testable food. For some reason I’m drawn to awkwardness.

[@NormendoTube]

This video hit me right in the nostalgia feels... great video!

[@heisensaul5538]

When I was a kid I had lunchables for lunch at school very often. I do remember the pizza ones had either a crunch bar or a Reese cup in them. I had all the ones you tried in the video plus the hot dog ones. I think there were also hamburger ones and they were gross. The hot dog ones weren't bad though. But yes, loved them as a kid idk how I would like them now as an adult (I'm 31 btw).

[@VegaPhil]

We have basically the same thing in the UK where it's called Dairylea lunchables because it uses the pretty disgusting, in my opinion, spreadable Dairylea cheese.

[@d.j.el-magnifico3511]

I remember those growing up too. I usually ate a homemade sandwich instead of lunchables!

[@robertkirkland8052]

Thumbs up and comment for the secret world of Alex Mac......I totally dont even remember what happens in the show. Maybe you could do a review? That would be awesome!

[@DoctorEw220]

I remember when they made dessert Lunchables. Anywho, I still eat the pepperoni pizza Lunchables for quick energy.

[@aceofclubs3173]

Erin plays games with my heart 😍 The nachos were bogus but the pizza lunchables was my shiiiiiiiiiit!!!

[@jameshoneycutt785]

My heart and soul thrive on 90s stuff!

[@MotherKojiro]

I prefer cheese to be warm, and get crap for it too! Mozzarella isn't terrible cold, though.

[@sammylane21]

I never liked how tiny the Nachos were in the Lunchables .

[@n_r_2324]

Ah, I was there for the days of turkey or ham only. And I totally agree about cold cheese. Tastes way different and whats with the chalky texture that leaves a film in your mouth? Never happens when hot and melted. Never happens with cheeseburgers, enchiladas or pizza.

[@GTV-Japan]

This is such a strange video. Not in a bad way of course! Just looking at some of this food! Who comes up with this stuff? Uploaded? It’s funny because kids can kind of tell when an adult is trying to hard to be cool but very likely whoever came up with that was from Gen X or Y and surely should know better! Walking Taco? I’m so glad I was born in the 70s! All the things that weren’t invented yet ^_^ I think the rabbit might be a jackelope

[@BologneyT]

I like how you had to drink the Capri Sun in an awkward way that showed the logo, like it's a commercial. XD And I love that commercial.

[@richardpowersfilms2982]

I think Terminator 2 and ILM were directly responsible for Alex Mack and Capri Sun ads.
