Lunchables

Portable kid meal

Lunchables is a brand of pre-packaged lunch kits marketed primarily to children, containing compartmentalized portions of crackers, processed meat, cheese, and often a small treat or drink.

The name combines lunch with the suffix -ables to suggest ready-to-eat convenience.

The product has become somewhat iconic of American processed food culture: My mom packed me Lunchables every day in elementary school.
