on tuesday i made the mistake of forgetting to pack a lunch. ohhhhhhh what a mistake. i went to the vending machines and debated between peanut m&ms and a lunchable. in a rare moment of logic, i decided that a lunchable was potentially more healthy / filling.
um.... has anyone eaten a lunchable lately?
for some reason the rubbery cheese and slimy ham just doesn't do it for me like it did when i was seven.
which led me to create the following...
foods that have lost their magic sometime between age 5 and now:
playdough ice cream
hi-c
fruity pebbles (when i eat these i swear i feel new cavities forming before i'm finished)
squeeze-its
ring pops
corn dogs
bubble tape
spaghetti-o's
those gummy hamburger things
twinkies
fun-dips
pop rocks
funyuns
mcdonald's chicken nuggets
(feel free to add to this list)
all foods i begged for and was rarely able to have because my mother loves me, truly.
it's kind of ironic. now that im finally able to buy all the junk food i want, my taste buds have decided to connect to my stomach. it's a cold, cruel world we live in.

Fund dips and bubble tape will NEVER lose their magic.
ReplyDeletehot dogs with ketchup, french fries, slurpies, off brand otter pops. and when i'm pregnant- anything with sugar in it at all
ReplyDeleteDon't judge me - I still love fruity pebbles (cocoa pebbles are even better), corn dogs, and mcdonald's chicken nuggets. :)
ReplyDeleteok ok... some foods are still magical to some people, i stand corrected :)
ReplyDeleteThis post TOTALLY cracked me up. I love that list! It's true though... all of those things are a lot less appetizing than they used to be. The thought of a gummy hamburger makes me cringe.
ReplyDeletePIXIE STIX - How about we just give the kids straight sugar and have them eat that? No, that's wrong. Okay, how about if we dye it pastel colors and put it in a fun little tube? PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteSO funny because Fruity Pebbles used to be my favorite cereal when I was little and my mom ALWAYS buys it when I'm visiting; I just don't know how to break it to her that I don't love it quite the same as I used to. :)
ReplyDeleteall i can say is fruit snacks will never go out of style (i realized that wasn't on the list, but its one of those things i loved as a kid and think i will always love) and doritos (cool ranch to be exact). every other sugary really unhealthy food i loved as a kid i don't so much love anymore. oh and reeses peanut butter puffs- still love it.
ReplyDeleteDude, you have hundreds of comments already. You're a superstar!
ReplyDeleteHave I ever told you I'm a 5-year-old kid at heart? I am. Because I still totally love Lunchables. The cheese pizza ones are my favorite - ask my daughter, I don't share those ones. I love ring pops, corn dogs, twinkies, fun dips, pop rocks, and I still buy Spaghetti-O's in bulk quantities. I will never change! LOL
