Oh dear god

I really would discourage anybody from trying a cheese string.
I did when they first came out years ago and to this day I still cant get the taste and texture out of my head.

Imagine chewing on a car tyre!

I didnt think MN would go for advertising something like this.
Just took me by suprise a bit.

But as I said in the OP, its all £££!

Nbg, my thoughts exactly as I logged on to MN today. Just doesn't fit into the MN philosophy, IMO.

(100% gstring?)

I am trying aversion therapy with chiz strings.

Last summer we were out at the cricket in a HIGE crowd and the dsses did a HUGE whoop when htey saw i had got tthem those hideous things.

So I am trying to normalise them so they get bored of them. I think it IS working.

TinyGang · 23/04/2007 13:47

At least they're not 100% string though

morningpaper · 23/04/2007 13:45

but cheese strings are 100% cheese

(what DOES that mean?)

I have no problem with advertising this crap(and it is crap) to adults. We are all on here because we generally want the best for our dc's. We know that the occasional lunchable won't kill then but that a diet of them will.
It is when they aim their advertising at children who can't differentiate between good and evil that they upset me.
So take their money, but don't expect them to gain many new customers from mumsnet.

I would never eat instant coffee.

AitchTwoOh · 23/04/2007 12:27

haven't seen the ad yet, if it's quieter than the tapping hand or the gurning alton towers freak i'll be happy. i did notice the tv ad was really pushing the healthy message on lunchables, though, which struck me as disingenuous to say the least.

glad you enjoyed your lunch, chocolateface. i'm off to knock up a delicious home-made Giant Panda burger, that world wildlife fund ad's got me starving....

Shutupaboutyourflippingbabies · 23/04/2007 12:19

i'd have to be close to starvation to eat them. ANd instant coffee.

Chocolateface · 23/04/2007 12:18

Just finished lunch. Don't know why, but I felt compelled to ruch to the corner shop and buy some lunchables. Yum.

NuttyMuffins · 23/04/2007 12:05

Hadn't seen it, but doesn't bother me anyway, an advert for them certainly isn't going to make me decide they are now fantastic and have me rush out and fill my cupboard with them LOL.
