You forgot your ding-a-ling,&#8221; was what some my elementary school classmates would yell to me if I ended up with the green lunch tray in the cafeteria.  To this day, I still have no idea what it means, but I do know I got the green lunch tray quite often.  In order to help me cope with the constant reminder that I forgot my ding-a-ling, I once yelled the rhyme to a boy one grade below me to try to show that I could be an asshole too, but he ended up crying on the spot.  I felt bad, so I gave him the cookie that came with my lunch to make him stop crying and I never did it again.<\/p>\n<p>If only Oscar Mayer had Lunchables back when I still occasionally wet my bed. I wouldn&#8217;t have gotten the green tray and I wouldn&#8217;t have cupped my balls so much in elementary school to make sure I didn&#8217;t forget my ding-a-ling anywhere.  Also, I wish hip-hop was mainstream in the early 1980s, then my groin cupping wouldn&#8217;t have made me look like a kid who enjoyed touching himself, instead I would&#8217;ve been a poser. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m trying to imagine what my elementary school life would&#8217;ve been like if I had the new Oscar Mayer Turkey + Cheddar Sub Sandwich Lunchables. I&#8217;d probably living large and in charge with all the honeys in Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears t-shirts around me wanting a little taste of either the mini turkey and cheddar sub sandwich, mini Nilla Wafers, Tree Top Applesauce, Tropical Punch Kool-Aid or the packet of Kraft Fat Free Mayo.<\/p>\n<p>The mini turkey and cheddar sub measured in at four inches long and two inches wide.  The turkey had a smokey flavor, the cheese looked like it was government-issued and the bun, which was made with whole grain, was soft and little chewy, but not stale; the mini Nilla Wafers were as tasty as regular Nilla Wafers; the sweet Tree Top Applesauce gave me something to flick with the included red spoon; the packet of Tropical Punch Kool-Aid added to the 6.5 ounce bottle of water had a slight artificial sweetener taste; and the packet of Kraft Fat Free Mayo was frickin&#8217; huge and way more than enough for the tiny sub sandwich.<\/p>\n<p>The Oscar Mayer Turkey + Cheddar Sub Sandwich Lunchables is a beast of a feast for those who have just reached puberty and below.  The flavor of the sandwich was decent, even with the fat free mayo, and the addition of the applesauce helped make it a decent rounded meal, but its price seems a bit high and I probably wouldn&#8217;t buy it for my child, if I had one.  Although it would prevent my kids from getting the green tray and because it has so much food, they could tease another kid for having the green tray and easily give them the Nilla Wafers when they start crying.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 package &#8211; 360 calories, 8 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 20 milligrams of cholesterol, 600 milligrams of sodium, 62 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber, 32 grams of sugar, 11 grams of protein, 2% vitamin A, 100% vitamin C, 20% calcium and 10% iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Oscar Mayer Turkey + Cheddar Sub Sandwich Lunchables<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $4.69<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  Big enough for a growing child<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Hearty meal for a kid.
