From Lunchables to Gushers, and everything in between, this video is packed with funny reactions, honest taste tests, and a lot of nostalgia. Growing up in the USA, these snacks were a huge part of my childhood, but will this Italian love them or leave them?

Love the idea! Now do the reverse, as we explore HIS ITALIAN childhood favorites!!
I’ll bet the Italian food is a lot better!
I remember such lovely favorites as lettuce and tomato sandwiches done of course with mayonnaise. I told my kids I was sent to lunch with this and they kept asking about where was the rest of the sandwich? And then my mother wondered why I didn’t eat much! What was the point! I don’t even remember getting peanut butter and jelly! Which I might add - grilled peanut butter and jam is the bomb! I’d make it for my son whereas my daughter preferred grilled cheese.
Please
I’m allergic to tomato, if i grew up in Italy I’d probably starve😭
@saraosori14how can you be allergic to the corner stone of food 😀
@saraosori14 LOL
"America! What you give to your kids‽"
Yeah, that sums it up.
Awful food. Alessio is right.
I can just smell the preservatives in the Lunchables
Lunchables Pizza is GOATED.
😂👍🏽
I bet you really can't.
Lunchables taste horrible. All artificial fake processed food.
Yeah. Bad for you.
My mom wouldn't allow any of that. I realize now how fortunate I was because we had bakery bread and cakes, butcher meat, and dairy delivered from farms. We even got a lot of our preserves and honey from farms. My mom insisted on quality. She had Campbell's soup in the house simply because we (children) liked it a lot. My school lunch was typically a lunch meat sandwich, fruit, and a hardboiled egg. Snacks were crackers (Carr's and others), real cheese, tapenades, olives, pickles, fruits, and other nibbles. I never had Kraft Mac & Cheese until I was in my 20s.
Don't get me wrong, I liked plenty of the stuff I couldn't have, but I disliked a lot of it too. That's in part because, in the 1990s, corn syrup and other cheaper replacement products became prevalent in American foods. Food coloring was added to so many foods. Everything started to taste different. For example, the flavor and consistency of chocolate changed significantly and bread became sweet. So many things tasted different than they had before. Many things no longer tasted like food. I wish the US had EU food standards.
Yes to European food requirements in the USA
@oonaghmarguerite6752 I guess I am very fortunate to have lived in a rural area and we were homeschooled. I'm talking about farm areas..... and I am not very old. Kind of like a secret side of the United States and we did foraging as well for greens .
My whole family is picky so I never ate anything that looked unappetizing.
Me too
My parents were former chefs and my mom was a total hippie, so we ate well too
It’s honestly a miracle that kids from the 90’s made it out alive with functioning organs. In retrospect, Kid Cuisine and Lunchables should be child neglect and yet, we begged for them lol.
And this is one reason Americans have one of the highest obesity & cardiac disease rates in the world. Watching this made me very happy to be a first generation American child of Spanish immigrants. Alessio, I'm definitely on your side with this one! 😅
Seriously!
@rosspalumbo lol. Right?!
@jacintavattuone4442 Yes, but you'll notice Europe is next. And then you notice all countries are more over weight and obese than they used to be.
Because famines are now uncommon, the world is mechanized, and when people have more wealth they have more access to food.
we survived childhood but are getting cancer at disproportionally young ages
How can you feed children this kind of crap? This is incredible.
No wonder why the US have such a high morbidly Obese rate!
No wonder why the US has so high morbidly obese rate! People eat shit all the time and are not educated when it comes to nutrition.
Parents, who are still babies and children but all grown up, don’t care or it’s cheap or it’s what they knew growing up so they so it to their own children. Instead of the parents being more responsible for their children’s health and doing the opposite so their children grow up better, it’s what they do. It also shuts kids up to feed them junk. It’s quick and easy.
Not everyone ate them all the time.
@Indykitty1 It's more harmfull then food for adults. How is this possible?
Bananas on the peanut butter sandwich would be good to try.
Add Bacon for the Elvis Experience.
@Cocytus honey is better
Thats still my go to when i want a snack on evening but its on toast
@Pierre-LucTB same
Peanut butter with Nutella on top is the best, closesly followed by peanut butter and banana
You need to get this man to Texas for Barbecue n Tex-Mex!
we are planing in this days! for November
@ThePasinis did you ever go to Texas Roadhouse? 🙈
But that would actually risk being edible.
We have a new restaurant in my town here in WA state that has some great tex mex food. Best experience I have had.
texas BBQ is way over rated lol but hope they do try it at one of the good places not saying it isn't tasty but its still overrated and way too expensive still tastes almost exactly like the rub from any other BBQ place in any other state I'd know I've tried about ten places now in 4 different states
Omg I want a part 2 😂😂😂
You guys are cracking me up! LOL!! Such genuine people
I grew up eating a "ghost" sandwich...mayonnaise on white bread. It was decades later when I realized my family was too poor to afford cold cuts or any kind of meat.
We grew up eating what my mom called "tom" burgers...mayo and tomatoes on a hamburger bun, or often just on bread. My mom told us it was a special burger from California. 😂 We also were too poor to afford meat.
Movie "The Blues Brother's". A 'wish sandwich' is a kind of sandwich where you have 2 slices of bread and you 'wish" you had some meat.
Awwwww 😂
@ani-83 Tomato sandwiches are soo good. I used to make my own preservative free mayo (it’s so easy) for my 5 kids, but now I don’t care at 71 years. It’s a great summer time deliciousness , especially with home grown tomato. Kudos to your mama.
@ani-83Appalachian country girl here. Fresh garden tomatoes sliced thick placed on bread or toasted bread slathered in mayo & a little salt & pepper. We loved them. Tomato season is ending here & I'm still loving my tomato/mayo sandwiches. ❤
"👋🏼 Don't say it in Italian..."
These videos are hilarious🤣🤣🤣
😂😂 😂😂
7:30 Remember being so excited for Capri Sun, then actually tasting it.
Besides the capri sun, I’m so glad my mother ( from Italy) never let me eat this stuff growing up in the U.S. in elementary school I brought a thermos of gnocchi , meatballs, minestrone soup, pasta e fagioli….and I loved it and my friends and teachers were so envious, especially during the cold New England winters.
Exactly
I would go find cans and turn them in for money as a kid and go buy gushers 😂😂😂❤
I love putting chips on tuna salad sandwiches! Adds a nice crunch and salty taste.
I use salt and vinegar chips❤😂
I'd only eat tuna salad on something salty and crunchy like chips or crackers.
Chips on tuna salad sandwich or egg salad is a yes. It's a very north eastern practice. But not on peanut butter.
I have never considered doing that and I enjoy Tuna Salad sandwhiches definitely gonna try that combo.
It depends on how you make the tuna mayo mustard and sweet relish make a sandwich then add hot limon cheetos to the sandwich
I didn't get any of that as snacks. If i had any of those things, it was at friends' houses.
My favorite! Peanut butter and jelly and chips😋😂
It's so funny because I understand him. My family is Central European and this stuff could not be done.
My dad use to let us get the kid cuisine meals. My favorite was the grill cheese one, so good. I gagged on the capri sun with him. We loved the kool aid burst and the hugs drinks. Thanks for throwback reminders. 💕
Boy did that bring back memories of corn brownies. Good ol chocolate corn...
Alessio, my brothers and I were born here and we always begged our Mom for pasta, chicken cutlets, eggplant etc. We rarely ate premade meals like some of those American “favorites”. You’re a very brave man! Love your videos. Such a cute couple!
I think they put baby crack in those kid cuisine meals. My son is a chef and he learned to cook from me. When I babysit my granddaughter I think, I can chef up some killer chicken nuggets and fries for her. I mix up some batter with some cornstarch and stuff so they're nice and crispy. Make some nuggets, hand cut some fries. Stuff was freaking delicious! I even made a cupcake. She ate One piece and begged For the kid cuisine.
Turkey sandwhich, lays, mayo, mustard, and some lettuce was what my mom and i ate all the time growing up.
My goodness. I didn't realize she was my spirit animal. 🤣 Yes to all this
I'm with Jessi, I enjoyed my sandwiches in elementary school as plain peanut butter without the jelly! A plain peanut butter sandwich was pretty much what I had for lunch every day in kindergarten, first, and second grades. And I grew up with the Fruit Roll-ups that had tattoos on them, so when you put it on your tongue, your tongue got a tattoo! Worth mentioning that while Kit Kat is made by Hershey's in the US, it's made by Nestlé outside the US! Kit Kat didn't originate in the US, it originated in the UK! It was launched in September 1935 in the UK as Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp, and the two-finger version was launched in 1936. It was renamed Kit Kat Chocolate Crisp in 1937, and just Kit Kat after World War II. In 1957, Donald Gilles, the executive at JWT London, created the iconic advertising line "Have a Break, Have a Kit Kat". In June 1988, Swiss company Nestlé acquired Kit Kat through the purchase of Rowntree's, giving Nestlé global control over the brand, except in the US. Hershey's license to produce Kit Kats originated in 1970, when Hershey executed a licensing agreement with Rowntree which allowed Hershey to retain the Kit Kat licensee so long as Hershey was not sold. Because of this, Nestlé has to honor this agreement and let Hershey have Kit Kat in the US. So yeah, as long as the Hershey Company isn't sold, Kit Kat remains a Hershey brand!
Lunchables was designed in 1985 by Bob Drane as a way for Oscar Mayer to sell more bologna and other lunch meat. After organizing focus groups of mothers, Bob discovered that their main concern was time. Working mothers were pressed by the time constraints of fixing breakfast for their families as well as packing lunch for their children to eat at school. This gave Bob the idea of creating a convenient prepackaged lunch featuring Oscar Mayer's trademark lunch meats. Crackers were substituted for bread because they would last longer in grocery coolers. The cheese was provided by Kraft when Oscar Mayer merged with Kraft in 1988. The design of the package was based on the look of an American TV dinner. The term 'Lunchables' emerged from a list of possible names for the prepackaged meal that included On-Trays, Crackerwiches, Mini Meals, Lunch Kits, Snackables, Square Meals, Walk Meals, Go-Packs, and Fun Mealz. Chef Boyardee is named after Emilia-born Ettore Boiardi, who was once a head chef of the iconic Plaza Hotel in NYC. After he left that job, he started a restaurant in Cleveland in 1924, and when customers asked for his sauce, he distributed it in milk bottles. Four years later, he opened a factory in PA, where he grew tomatoes and mushrooms, and anglicized his name to "Boy-Ar-Dee". The first product to be sold was a "ready-to-heat spaghetti kit" in 1928 with uncooked pasta, sauce, and a container of grated cheese. The US military commissioned the company during WWII for the production of army rations, requiring the factory to run 24 hours a day! At its peak, the company employed approximately 5,000 workers and produced 250,000 cans per day.
I might be aging myself, but some of these foods were not on the market for me growing up. Capri Sun was a staple! I remember lunches of Beefaroni, Dinty Moore Beef Stew, Oreo Cookies and little half cartons of milk. And, of course, tuna fish sandwiches with potato chips. I still enjoy that one to this day. Bonus points if you had a metal lunch box with a matching thermos. 😊
Yes! The only way to eat Kit Kat!
that was exactly how I ate Kit Kat and Reeces. I am in my 50's and a year ago I ate a Kit Kat that way.
Same for the KitKats but I ate the chocolate ridge around the Reese’s cup before the middle. That was just as messy as poking the center out first 😅. I’m 50 and there are Reese’s cups in my pantry right now.
What kind of flavor is this?! It's FRUIT!! Yeah, I actually laughed out loud
Rarely have I laughed so hard at a video, but in the most positive way possible😂😇...
This was hysterical. I am 71 years old. The only things on your menu that even existed wete no. 1 cinnamon toast which I live still today. Peanut butter yes and I still love. Potato chips yes but never ever with peanut butter. Not sure about kitkats but yes reeses and our special way of eating was different. Chef borardee yes ate it then hate it now. None of the rest was even invented 😜
You're supposed to mix the cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl first and then sprinkle the mixture on your buttered toast. It gives a much more uniform eating experience. He gave Lunchables a 0? That's the last straw, back to Italy with him!
Similar. We buttered toast and then sprinkled pre-mixed confectioner's sugar and cinnamon on the melted butter.
Agreed on the cinnamon toast technique. My big sister forbade me from making any when I was like 7 because I “always made a huge mess” 🙄 whatever. It was worth it 😂
We had a container of cinnamon and sugar in the pantry that we pre mixed so it was readily on hand.
We pre-mixed the cinnamon sugar and put it in an empty spice jar with a sprinkle top.
My mom put the cinnamon on first, then sprinkled the sugar on. Gave it a far richer cinnamon flavor.
As a child of the 70's, I now can see why your generation has so many social anxiety problems. As a side note, I love watching you two have so much fun. May God bless you, and I hope you have a long, healthy, happy life together. Thank you so much for making me smile and letting me into a small bit of your life together. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nah not their generation. These are early 90s babies, Millennials in their 30s. Social anxiety is the Gen Z staple among the 20-somethings born after 9/11
You have to freeze the reeses first.. then eat them. Trust me.
Or stick them in the microwave and melt them! There is no wrong way to eat a Reese’s!!
@victoriagoforth9748 Thou speakst of abomination 😤
Shut your mouth this is the funnest idea ever! Salted nut rolls, strawberry toaster strudels, apple cinnamon Nutrigrain bars, fluffernutter sandwiches, Graham crackers dipped in canned frosting, squeeze cheese, pizza goldfish, and EL fudge cookies with blonde cookies and chocolate filling were some of my favs! Those Dunkaroos looked sketchy and NOTHING like our childhood 🦘 Loved this nostalgia 💗
I'd change to pizza pringles and add swiss cake rolls but these are all so nostalgic! 😂
@amandawells35 ooooh good call 😆💗🫶🏻
Never on the squeez cheese....😖
EL Fudge!!😯 I haven't thought about that in must be 30 years! When I'd go visit my great Aunt Shirley, she always had those. Same kind, with the blonde cookie and chocolate inside.
@lisakukla459 omg that’s adorable! I’m so glad it sparked your nostalgia😍
My childhood was apples, and then a meat vegetable and usually homemade bread. That's it. Very simple, very healthy and my Mom would cook me some leftovers if I was hungry during the day. We also could have butter, store bought or homemade. My Mom also made stews.
When I think of my childhood, all of these plus some more are in it and it makes SO much sense why we have such health issues. All of us 90’s kids went THROUGH it.
Oh my! As an adult, I see all that stuff together and all I can think of is all the preservatives, chemicals, synthetic dyes and toxic seed oils. Ugh!
As kids , we didn’t know any better 😂
No one ate those candy bars like that. Shawty got some unresolved childhood trauma.
I had this when my babysitter came over
“It’s the same stuff! Just in a different form!”
Allow me to introduce you to pasta….
The pinnacle of same shit different cover.
Pasta is the #1 food in the world and is prepared in countless ways and shapes...no comparison.
@spaniardsrmoors6817 First, rice is #1. Second, who stole your sense of humor?
@markhamstra1083 lol. True. Love it that Jessie and Alessio sparks these kinds of controversial conversations. And they still love each other …and us.
@markhamstra1083 "So, what is the most popular food in the world? According to research done in 2020, it’s . . . pizza! "
Pasta or pizza, #1
To be fair as an Italian kid (born in '87) I would beg my parents to get sofficini, teneroni, patatine, nutella go, all types of merendine.. Jessi you should try them all!
Baby Alessio is so cute!
We grew up on Peanut Butter and Bologna sandwiches.
You two are such a cute couple.........very real
Chips inside a sandwich! I LOVE doing that! It's soooo good!
This was so entertaining to watch! I will say, the Kids Cuisine were different back in the day 🤣 And the container the food was in was blue!
This randomly popped up on my recommended
A lot of your foods were my children's favorites. I have my favorites. 1 chef boyardee beef ravioli , 2 Campbell's vegetable beef soup, 3. cup of soup chicken noodle, 4 hostesses, anything cup cakes, etc. 5. Vienna sausage 6. Crackers and cheese packages you spread the cheese on the crackers with a plastic thing. 7. Canned pudding similar to the pudding pack of today but in a can with an easyopen top, 8. space food ie tang , dehydrated pudding sticks, dehydrated or freeze dried fruits. 9 the original pot pies and tv dinners in the foil pans no microwave so had to be cooked in the oven.
I agree on Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli and Handi-Snacks crackers and cheese! If you want to recreate the handi-snack thing, get some Club crackers and Pub cheese! You might need to use a knife instead of a red bar of plastic lol! My sister LOVED Tang. She ate a boloney sandwich and drank Tang every single day after kindergarten.
The canned pudding-Hunt's snack packs! Still love them even without the cans.
You know I think Alessio might be onto something with the gummy worm inside the lunchables 😂
Peanut Butter & Marshmallow creme sandwich on white bread
Love a fluffernutter!
Yes!! A fluffernutter!!!
Peanut butter on toast with butter is amazing
Aw I wish he wore the jammies the whole time! Also for me it wasn’t childhood without nestle qwik, would love to have him try that with Saturday morning cartoons! I didn’t bite the chocolate off the Kit Kat but did peel apart the wafers. I also peeled the chocolate off Reese’s lol
I don't know if she has yet, but she ought to introduce him to tomato soup made with milk and butter, with a grilled cheese sandwich. This is what my mother fed me when I was sick in the 1970s.
There is so much truth in this video! And yes we all ate it these ways!
Doritos In the sandwich are the best!!!
We did not have these except for the Reese’s when I was growing up.
I've never eaten a Reese's or KitKat like that before haha. As an adult, I do enjoy the Chef Boyardee ravioli and spaghettios from time to time. Peanut butter and sliced banana on toasted bread is really good too! Or a peanut butter and nutella sandwich as a snack :)
0:25. .... Why is Alessio flipping us off!!!??? 😭
😂😂😂😂😂
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU EAT YOUR REESES THAT WAY!!!! I thought I was the only one!!!!
Alessio's facials and mouth-movements when chewing the last of that peanut butter chips sandwich literally had my sides aching !!! And Jessi's comment when he presses the sandwich down to the crackling of the chips, ".... that's part of the charm" again - you two are a marvel !!! Cheers and Ciao ! M.
JESSI--- the way to eat a Kit-Kat…FACTS. Word is born, don’t argue with Jessi’s Kit-Kat eating instructions. It’s the American Way.
Gotta try bologna, cheese and bbq chip sandwich!
I did not know a society could go so low to feed its own kids staffs as horrendous as the two "lunch boxes". I bet they would be illegal (litteraly) under EU health regulations
Honestly, I think his scores were generous :)
He's a good sport letting you put him in that onesie. 😂
You two are brave. I pray for your wellness. I pray for what you what ti attain.
This is my favorite video of yours yet! I visited Italy for the first time last May and although I'm 68 I felt 40 there BECAUSE OF THE REAL FOOD they eat there! In America we eat "edible product". Alessio is going to outlive us all ... unless he starts eating like an American.
I still put chips on all my sandwiches except grilled cheese.
The only things I ever had as a child in that group is Kit Kat, cinnamon toast, lays potato chips. Guess we ate differently in NY😂
I crack up every time she says “No amore!…”
He MUST try a SKOR Bar.. freeze it, like 30 minutes. Then suck/melt chocloate and eat middle after. Then next, take a bite (chocolate and middle together) and repeat
Smash up Skor bars and mix with whipped cream and top your cake with it.
That is my way.😅
Go to Trader Joe’s and get the Toffee Chips in a box. Half is milk and half is dark. Skor used to be my favorite until it tried these. I can’t go back. I tried to eat a Skor recently and it tasted like trash now that I’m used to these from TJ. Give it a shot!!!
@Milllllller well Im in Canada, so they probably have different recipes..
@J1WE ahhhhhh yes. Yours is still made with real ingredients and not trash like here. They are trying to kill us here (I am blinking twice).
14:14 I had Chef Boyardee once, ravioli. It was sooo bad
Even as a kid I could taste the chemicals in the food. I didn’t know then why I didn’t like that stuff but I know now. This is the kind of stuff that’s contributing to infertility and sickness. We really need to think about what we feed our children. 😢
My kids loved frozen blueberries as a dessert. They ate frozen peas, too. For a snack!!!
But, of course, they got their horde of sugar at Halloween, Christmas and Easter!!! I let them eat it, all at once, after I learned that spacing out the sugar treats only made them contract colds. I have five children.
I let them have it on the holidays.
Otherwise, it was pure food. Good luck, mommies and daddies.
It’s a big deal to raise children and feed them well.
I haven't thought of kids cuisine in ages! I'm afraid it was pretty common in our house growing up
My mom refused to let my siblings and I have this food, no matter how much we pleaded. I was always grumbling over my apples , carrots, and a hummus sandwich, watching all the other kids eat their Lunchables. In hindsight, she was just looking out for us.
my mom did the same thing! I’m so much healthier to this day because of it! I plan to raise my son, arriving in November the same way.
ugh a hummus sandwich I think your mom was just weird or a lot a lot older than me lol hummus wasn't even widespread until the 2000s at least not most places and I was young still then lol
@jacksmith-vs4ct nope, my mom is just the daughter of an Armenian immigrant.
Oooh he should have tried a payday! O always ate all the peanuts off before finishing the rest! Yum! 😋
No pizza rolls or Hot Pockets? :)
Thank God. Those are gross. You mean, the Hot Pockets and Totino's, right? Yeah, gross. 😅
@Cocytus I don’t disagree there for sure. But they were still classic childhood foods. I wouldn’t touch the stuff now. Lol
I was thinking the same thing. Where is pizza in it's alternate forms? Rolls, pocket and bagel!
We definitely ate Reese's and KitKat just like that when we were growing up! 😂🤣
I'm shocked that kids would have had these "things" as food everyday 😲😲😲 this explains lots of things
Pure io.. robe da matti 🥲
Every day is a bit much, we ate the school provided lunches more than anything (granted, you look into those and they arent much better, lol). My family only got Lunchables for field trips.
I don't know anybody who had these everyday as a kid. Lunch was in school cafeteria- quality could vary greatly and some school districts were much better than others but it was hot food. These things were mostly either snacks you sometimes had at home or packing a lunch to go somewhere.
the kid crusin reaction was so funny😂
I am so happy that im born in Europe, thank God
Ja das stimmt ich auch 😅. Ich bin in der DDR geboren und aufgewachsen.Da gab es so etwas gar nicht.
Alessio, you need to show us your lunches at school. Please, I’m curious.
I don't know how he can be judgy about the butter and sugar on the toast ... I know what kids (and many adults) eat for breakfast in Italy. I have lived here for over 20 years, and have two teens who were raised here. Italian 'breakfasts' are almost always very sweet foods, like croissants/brioche/biscotti (which are just 'cookies'!) with coffee and/or milk. My own 56 year old Italian husband will add at least 8+ teaspoons of sugar to his milk, with a dash of espresso, for his breakfast every day. It is the sweetest 'coffee' I have ever tasted!
Oh man that velveeta and shells looked so good and I cannot get it where I live: ( My favorite breakfast while camping in the mountains (as an adult) was Spaghetti-Os. Every visit to America I get a can. They're not amazing, but camping makes everything taste better. Fruit leather was the best way back when it resembled fruit, with little seeds, and it actually felt like leather. Memories! I was watching a documentary about SudTirol and the Dolomites as I enjoyed your video.
I love you both, so funny. I’m wondering who is the funny creator here.
Probably a grand mix!
At 71, I did not grow up with “snacks”. My 102 year old mom (still alive and quite well), was a child of the American depression and then WWII. She fed us basic foods: veggies, beans, some chicken and beef, cornbread, buttermilk. No store bought snacks.
I fed my kids the same way. I made our own fruit roll ups from apricots and apples from close by.
But, today, I see my kids feeding THEIR children snacks, as if it was good food. Go figure. That’s one reason why I love Italia. I think they stick to the basic good, healthy food there. Barring their love of pizza, which is their fast food. But, it’s ok. Viva Italia.
There are soo many choices in the US. I say choose wisely. Oh gosh, sorry for the rant.
It’s ironic how much of the processed convenience food around now is a direct consequence of the food scarcity during the Depression and WWII. The push to end hunger had food scientists seeking quick nutrient fixes, now companies engineer food to be tasty but not satiating so that people will eat more and expand profits.
My Granny and Grandpa would have been 102 if they were still around 😊 May you and your mother have many more happy years of longevity 💛
@ericacampbell6856 Thank you.
Getting old is difficult. Can’t see, can’t hear, incontinence, weakened body. We think oldsters know it all…they are still learning as we are, also. Thank you for your sweet message.
That is exactly how I use to eat my peanut butter cups and kit kats
America, what do you give your kids
😂😂😂😂
Hilarious!!!
His reactions are 10/10 😂😂😂
We ate lunch at the cafeteria at school. 😊
I am sad to admit having eaten like this growing up too. 90s kid. I pray I can make meaningful change in my life.
My mom is Sicilian. Never, ever would she feed us any of that.😅
We would see the commercials advertising all of that stuff and ask for it. She said she would never feed her kids that garbage. My American childhood was deprived of all of that stuff including fast food. Very rare did we eat at a McDonalds or Burger King.🤣
Now it seems your Mom was very wise!
We had home made food. It was awesome.
I didn't go to elementary school in this country, but in high school, majority of kids went to the other line where they had chicken strips, nuggets, fries, burgers, but paid for and ate that junk food daily.
I don't know what majority of American kids eat in elementary school, but if it's Lunchables, I'd be horrified. 😂 😨
Same, my mom is Ecuadorian and she never fed me this, I only ate some of this stuff when my friends didn't want it. On the plus side I know how to cook and people like my food
My parents never tried McDonald's until the 80s. They didn't finish their burgers and left. In the 60s and early 70s that chain wasn't near where we lived.
When I got to eat them, I hated them, too. Parents made their own beef patties, so very yummy!
I eat my Reese's and my Kit Kat's the same exact way, lol.
Mamma mia quanto mangiano male in america..sono shockata😅
Your opinion. And opinions are like dirty socks. Everybody has them and they all stink. Cheers
@Hillbilly001 appunto, allora non offenderti quando affermiamo che gran parte del vostro cibo è orribile 😉
@swampraider3488 Want to translate that?
@swampraider3488 Again, your opinion. In other words more dirty socks. Cheers
@Hillbilly001 then why you're repeating the same nonsense if you know these are opinions? Bit mad? 😂
We were in America this summer visiting my parents and the happiness on my sons face when he found a lunchable was hilarious! He thought the concept was absolutely brilliant
They promote Italian food as a pinnacle of cuisine, but their grocery stores carry the same shit ours do.
Not true. U.S has way more chemicals of which 1500 are banned in other countries and their food is non GMO
It was cute to see your guest project supervisor Gideon visiting.
Alessio, make no mistake those foods are disgusting. Sorry Jesse!
Literally that’s exactly how I ate my Reese’s! 😂
