'Giant Lunchables for adults' launched by Asda as a Christmas snack

With less than a month to go until Christmas, supermarket shelves are now filling up with foods for the festive season.

Cheese and biscuits is a perennial favourite that will be on countless shopping lists as a grown-up treat - but a new yuletide savoury snack launched by Asda has revived some childhood memories.

The retailer is selling a Party Snack Platter which people on Facebook are comparing to 'Dairylea Lunchables for adults', Glasgow Live reports.

Many of those commenting on the social media platform have expressed elation that they can recreate the contents of their school lunchbox without feeling too old.

The £5 platter comes in a compartmentalised tray and features squares of medium and spicy cheddar, discs of oven baked ham and chicken, as well as 'cracker bites'.

An image was shared on the Extreme Bargains and Savings UK page on Facebook, with the caption: "Is it just me or has Asda remade Dairylea Lunchables for adults?"

One quipped "Christmas dinner sorted" while another said: "Finally an adult-sized Lunchable."

A third commented: "Get a couple of these for Boxing Day. Sorted."

Another user wrote: "I would have definitely picked this up when I was in Asda yesterday if I had seen it. I love a Lunchable."

And someone else said: "My son is obsessed with Lunchables, this is the ultimate snack. We have to get him one."
