So if you're in Scotland you will know what a munchy box is. Basically it's a pizza box from the chippy, Indian or Chinese filled with a variety of stuff. DH is out tonight, im throwing a mild strop about food we have in the house and so I was browsing the local Just Eat to see what I might order. One oif the local chippy/Indians do a 'Single Mum Munchy Box'
Why do they think this is specifically for single mums? The chocolate?
It's a bit bat shit right?

Have added a screen shot !

Fuck me that sounds amazing. I dont care what they name it I want one!

sparklefarts · 14/09/2019 17:36

Looked at it so much I'm almost tempted to order it now 😁

I won't. Not because I couldn't eat it all, because I really bloody could, but I think I'd rather a Chinese tonight. Or a kebab?

It's more worrying that I cannot decide what to eat

I’m assuming it’s for one adult + children. It’s not a particularly nice bit of targeting but I guess statistically there are more single mother households than single father.

Do you English people know what a pizza crunch is? When my husband moved up to Scotland he was horrified we deep fry pizzas, now we batter them and deep fry them, delicious Grin

SweatyUnderboob · 14/09/2019 17:38

Is it a lot of food though? Or just lots of different things?
Wtf is a pizza crunch?

RonMexico · 14/09/2019 17:39

Jesus fucking Christ that is a lot of food for a tenner! Would be twice that where I live!

Jaffacakebeast · 14/09/2019 17:39

I wish I could order 1 of those

OtraCosaMariposa · 14/09/2019 17:40

I know what a munchy box is and I live in Glasgow too. It's a sharing thing, isn't it? Probably enough for one adult and one child.

Could really go some haggis pakora right now...

nonmerci · 14/09/2019 17:40

Are all single Mum’s behemoths? How can any single person eat that much food?

Shouldbedoing · 14/09/2019 17:41

Looks like a heart attack in a box.
I'm a lone parent though and when I do have a takeaway it's just too much quantity and cash to justify. Eating some the next day takes the shine off your treat.

WalkersAreNotTheOnlyCrisps · 14/09/2019 17:43

Haggis fritters, deep fried pizza and irn bru. Proper Scottish 😄

I've never heard of pizza crunch here (Manchester). It would probably cost double that here.

31RueCambon75001 · 14/09/2019 17:44

Never seen that but I wouldn't want it on record at the local chinese that i was a single parent ykwim.

Does it mean that it's enough for your kids too? Taht is an idea I could get behind?

OtraCosaMariposa · 14/09/2019 17:44

Looking at it again it comes with a 2litre bottle of soft drink. The one above comes with a can.

Can of soft drink - single person.
2l bottle - share between single person and 1 or 2 kids.

sparklefarts · 14/09/2019 17:44

Oh god no have no idea what to eat.

The only Munchy box I've ever had was a salt and chilli one from the Chinese. I ordered a large. I thought I might die.
But no I want one again

It's definitely an odd choice of name but I'm more surprised by a munchy box having pizza crunch in it.
Round here pizza crunch is from the chippy and munchy boxes are from the Indian/kebab shop (or dessert places nowadays too)

I want a pizza crunch for dinner now tho Hmm
Haven't had one since I was about 16

sparklefarts · 14/09/2019 17:45

Oh well spotted @OtraCosaMariposa must be a shared one then
Still isn't that much more food than a lot of the single ones

Ninkaninus · 14/09/2019 17:46

It’s obviously meant to be enough food for one adult and a child or two, isn’t it.

They could have called it single parent box, but then most single parents are mothers so I’m not too fussed really.

bellsbuss · 14/09/2019 17:46

The thought of that sober makes me feel ill but drunk I could easily polish it off Grin

Crochetymum · 14/09/2019 17:47

I'm not a single mum but I'm starving and could really eat that right now (minus the haggis, never tried) before my other half gets in. 🤪

HairyFloppins · 14/09/2019 17:48

Sounds brill apart from the Haggis fritters. Starving here waiting to order food waiting for dd to come home but she's taking bloody ages.

Crochetymum · 14/09/2019 17:49

Hang on what is pizza crunch??

TrendyNorthLondonTeen · 14/09/2019 17:49

Something about obesity crisis, too much fried food, juice is full of sugar, donner meat is disgusting, etc etc etc...

(I have friends coming up for drinks and I think we might order a munchy box now...)

sparklefarts · 14/09/2019 17:50

Pizza crunch is battered and fried pizza. Have never tried it myself.

Am now thinking about the fact that the box comes with chocolate .
Do I want it?

I’ve never heard of it, but I want one now. I’m starving.
