\"Oscar<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

I’ve never had a Lunchables before, but I’ve always been curious about trying them. Sort of like how I’ve been curious about getting a nipple pierced.<\/p>\n

I guess I’ve never tried them because I feel that I’m a little too old to be eating them. I’m also afraid to get caught with them in my shopping cart, because it will make me look like either a father or a big loser.<\/p>\n

But then again, I do eat a lot of Pop-Tarts and kids cereals. <\/p>\n

Hmm…So that’s why all the women turn their shopping carts away from me.<\/p>\n

Anyway, a few weeks ago, Impulsive Buy reader Mia asked us if we could review the new Lunchables Chicken Dunks.<\/p>\n

I agreed to look for them and believe me, I REALLY had to look for them. <\/p>\n

For over a week, I went searching high and low for them, but couldn’t find them anywhere. Not at the national grocery store chain, or at the locally-owned supermarket, or at the world-dominating superstore behemoth. They were elusive, like topless photos of the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. <\/p>\n

Wait. They’re 18 years old, right? I don’t want to seem creepy.<\/p>\n

I already seem creepy?<\/p>\n

DAMMIT!!!<\/p>\n

Anyway, I thought that I would have to wait another week for them to arrive on shelves here in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. (Just to let you know, things like this come by boat.) Fortunately, while looking for lunch at the convenient store down the street, I finally happened to come across the Lunchables Chicken Dunks. <\/p>\n

It seemed like it took forever to find them. <\/p>\n

Well at least I didn’t have to wait in line for three and a half hours, like I had to do for the Bellagio’s<\/a> Thanksgiving Buffet in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

When I got home, one thing that caught my eye on the box was the phrase, “Tastes Great\u2026No Need To Heat.”<\/p>\n

I thought to myself, “You can actually eat the Chicken Dunks COLD?”<\/p>\n

Well I did just that, although I did heat up a couple of chicken pieces to compare. In both instances, no matter how many times I dunked the chicken into the ketchup (which they provided), they both tasted kind of gross.<\/p>\n

It’s a good thing the Lunchables Chicken Dunks came with a tropical punch Kool-Aid Jammers juice because I NEEDED something to wash the chicken down.<\/p>\n
