I know some of this goes behind the mumsnet 'only drink water and organic food mantra' but hey ho!

So siting in the lounge eating a babybel when DS5 (9) pops up to say only kids should eat that. Got me thinking about the 'kids' stuff i eat and drink as guilty pleasures!!! Capri suns and fruitshots, love. Dairylee and babybels. Kids ceral, which we dont eat much of cause of sugar content! Yesterday we got unicorn shapped chicken nuggets as a treat cause DS4 was going into hosp for a bit today. They were so incredible!

So what are your 'kids' food and drink guilty pleasures.

I'm also partial to a lunchable, but the one with the pudding (mini oreos) not the one with the ham.

Myusernameismud · 18/04/2019 21:46

DH has just discovered Frubes at the grand Old age of 45. I was making DCs lunches and he jokingly asked if I was making him one (I do usually make his sandwiches but he sorts the rest himself) So I sent him to work with a packed lunch of ham and mustard sandwiches, quavers, a frube, a babybel, carrot sticks and a banana. He took his lunch bag out of the fridge without looking in it, and called me at lunchtime as excited as a toddler with the contents Grin
