As someone who loves minimal-effort cooking and meals, I make quesadillas and grilled cheeses more than a lactose-intolerant person like myself should. I'll also admit that in addition to enjoying minimal-effort cooking, I love grabbing on-the-go snack packs from grocery stories — specifically, Lunchables. So when I heard that Lunchables came out with microwaveable grilled cheeses, I sincerely had to drop everything and see it with my own eyes (and tastebuds).
The frozen Lunchables Crispy Grilled Cheesies — which come in original and pepperoni pizza flavors — hit shelves in 2023, and it appears that many folks had big feelings about the quality vs. price point. Reddit user u/ialost took to the very passionate r/frozendinners community to share their experience with the grilled cheese, saying, "I will say I was impressed by how buttery the bread was, but needless to say, just make your own grilled cheese. Also, this was $5.99."
Another Redditor, u/TheGiantRascal, said, "I'm a big fan of crappy grilled cheeses, but $6 is just offensive for something like that. Obviously, it's cheaper to just make your own, but even ordering one from somewhere is close to the same price."
