It's like an army field ration or MRE for kids. In this case, theater of combat would be in the school lunchroom. I bought a lot of these things for my kids. It works out great because those brats never liked my lunches anyway and they really liked the crap in those boxes. Actually, I've had one of those things too - when nobody was looking. It's a win-win deal, the kids are happy and the parents don't have to spend the time making some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for those nasty critters. As far as ideas goes, it's right up there with disposable diapers and canned formula.
