Dairylea Lunchables

Advantages: Plenty in the packet
Disadvantages: Cost and not very healthy

...This is a product primarily aimed at children or at least at adults to buy for children. Dairylea Lunchables Chicken Stack Ems are made by Kraft and come in a plastic box which contains 8 small slices of cheese, 8 larger round slices of chicken and 8 wheat crackers. They cost £1.35 in Somerfield and £1.45 in Safeway and the contents weigh 110g, which is roughly 4oz. There is a larger box available which contains a small carton of juice and a chocolate cake. This costs £1.85. The idea is that the consumer makes a sort of "sandwich" or stack with the cheese, chicken and crackers. It all sounds reasonably healthy so far. However, on further inspection, it's easy to see why this should be a rare treat for a child. The description on the back gives an idea as to what is actually in this "lunch". Cooked Cured Chicken Breast...

Planet Earths biggest rip off

Advantages: Handy for packed lunches
Disadvantages: Loads - read the op

...Oh my Lord, I have just been ripped off in the most bizarre fashion possible. Somebody, somewhere must pay for this incredible outrage, what an absolute SKANK!. What am I talking about? Kraft Dairylea Lunchables, that’s what I’m talking about. I was feeling a tad peckish yesterday and went to the shop to purchase myself a snack. I was looking around and the little light blue square plastic pack caught my eye. Dairylea Lunchables Pizza – Pepperoni and cheese variety. I quickly snatched it out of the refrigerator and went to the checkout. “£1.49 please” said the cashier. “E, E, E, Excuse me?” I replied sounding a bit like Gareth Gates’s twin brother. “£1.49 please sir” I tried not to cause a scene and paid her the money seeing as how the shop was...

Put the Pitta Back

Advantages: Easy For Kids School Lunch
Disadvantages: See Below

...When it comes to new food products, I have absolutely no willpower. I have to try them. Especially when it comes to novelty type products. I'm really just a kid a heart. So, whenI saw an advert for new Dairylea Lunchables Pitta Pouches, I knew I had to give them a go. I never learn. I'm not particularly keen on any of the other Dairylea Lunchables products. But, there's always a little voice at the back of your mind saying, 'This one might be different'. I didn't deliberately go looking for this product, because I'm not swayed that much by advertising LOL. But, I always have a quick glance in the dairy section of the supermarket if I'm passing it. I'd never seen the Pitta Pouches anywhere and was beginning to think I'd imagined the whole thing. Until yesterday, when I came across them in the Co-op. Once I'd them though...

The King of Unhealthy, Disgusting Crap

Advantages: It's slightly edible
Disadvantages: Tastes horrible, costs £1.50

...Oh, how I hate these kids convenience food ?Snax?. Chief among these horribly new and strange products are Darylea. Y?see, they seem to think that if you slap a few bits of cheese, slabs of cold meat and a couple of dried biscuits in an environment polluting plastic container, people will rush out and buy their kids this crap. Oh, and put in some rubbish adverts during kids TV showing children of similar ages having a whale of a time stacking together some processed meat into dried biscuits. Would this work? Of course not. Nobody in their right mind would be tricked by these thieves into actually buying this mank, would they, right? Err, right? Wrong. Darylea Lunchables sold so fast they made the Pizza version, the Hot Dog version and goodness knows what else. Let?s dig deeper? Packaging, Pricing and Contents Very perplexing: A cow...

  An insult to dogs everywhere

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything

...Harrod?s, it is alleged, will sell you an elephant. When theediscerning told that urban myth to a German friend of mine, in said shop, she found the very textbook she had used for learning English in their book section, which included the very same story there in one of the exercises. The reason for this anecdote is that this thought was raised in theediscerning?s mind when trying the Lunchable Hotdog experience ~ would they really flog something as utterly low-class and rubbish as this? The Lunchable concept is for people who are too indolent and ignorant to rustle up a round of sandwiches for their schoolchildren ~ or, even worse, to not be able to teach their children to make their own. And so we get a disposable lunchbox type affair, with ingredients for making a ?hotdog? therein. As a result all the ingredients are...

Getting Messy!

Advantages: Easy to eat, pre-prepared.
Disadvantages: Not particularly healthy or extremely tasty.

...Being the big kid at heart that I am, I couldn't resist picking up a pack of Dairylea Lunchables Hot Dogs when I saw them. You can buy a snack pack that includes a Capri Sun and some Dime pieces, or you can buy it without them. For some reason, the snack pack always seems to be cheaper. I think the last supermarket I was in had the snack pack one for 99p and the other for £1.29, which is strange since you get more in the snack pack. I'm going to review the snack pack. It comes packaged in a blue box, with the Dairtylea logo on it and a cartoon cow holding a huge hotdog. The box is colourful and attractive and fairly sturdy. It also has some activities for kids printed on it. When you open the box, the pack has the Capri Sun and the Dime's loose inside it, but the hotdogs are in a plastic container. The plastic container has...

Dairylea Chicken Blurghgers

Advantages: Practical
Disadvantages: Taste awful and Unhealthy

...I have never been the biggest fan of Dairylea Lunchables. I found the stacking ones a bit dry and have sometimes found the cheese can taste a little processed. However, after a sucessful try of the pizza lunchables, when i saw the Chicken Burgers variety I thought I would give it a try. The packaging was as bright and appealing as usual but on opening the product I was disgusted by what I saw. 2 rock hard and tiny bread rolls 6 slices of cheese 2 very small slabs of what was supposedly chicken burger. I was immediatly repulsed by what i saw but i never judge anything by appearance so i pressed on. Once i had put together the burgers and got in a serious mess with the small fiddly packet of ketchup i examined my lunch which seemed to consist of 2 tiny processed chicken burgers in rock hard tiny bread rolls. Not even enough to...

Smashing Sandwiches With Dairylea

Advantages: A wholesome sandwich filler
Disadvantages: None

...Expensive but useful are the three words that first come into my mind when I think about Kraft Dairylea thick cheese slices. Dairylea thick cheese slices are a good sandwich or roll filler. Fill a sandwich with a layer of fresh salad and then add a tasty thick cheese slice to make a healthy snack. I particularly like to buy a packet if we have a barbecue, if you are filling a large bread bap with a freshly barbecued beefburger and salad it makes a meal in itself. Lets face it Dairylea has a good reputation, high quality products that appeal to all age groups. The Dairylea cheese spread is very tasty, the Dairylea Dunkers are brilliant for both children and adults, Dairylea lunchables are good for a quick snack and if you are calorie counting you are able to get Dairylea Light products. One thing that always strikes me is their...

THE KING WOULD BE TURNING

Advantages: Funny in parts, easy watching, good all round film
Disadvantages: Animation is certainly not up to Monster Inc standard

...After eating half of Tesco?s supply of Dairylea Lunchables and saved free the cinema tokens we decided to take our three-year-old daughter to our local UCI cinema to watch the newly released film from Disney, Lilo, and Stitch. The film is a U like all Disney movies, and after recently purchasing Monsters Inc and watching it daily, I think I built up my expectation of the forth-coming movie. The animation was nowhere near M/I but more like Pocahontas, very flat visually. I was not very disappointed as the story line and the comedy aspect won me over. The film is based on a broken family living in Hawaii, the family consists of a small girl called Lilo, who is totally scrumptious and her sister who is her guardian. Stitch is an alien from a far away galaxy, who was made by a made professor. Stitch was made for one purpose...
