As nearly half of Americans now snack 2-3 times per day 1 and mini, snackable food formats continue to surge in popularity, 2 Lunchables is bringing its signature mix-and-match experience to an entirely new occasion. Each Snackables pack delivers 5 grams of protein and brings together two of Lunchables’ most iconic elements — cheese and crunchy crackers — alongside the poppable bites fans are reaching for most right now, 3 including fruit snacks and chocolate chip graham crackers.
Snackables launches in two varieties:
“For decades, Lunchables has been a kid-loved, parent-approved offering for lunchtime, snacktime and all other moments in between, and as our fans’ snacking habits continue to evolve, we saw an opportunity to bring something new to the table,” said Brittany Piszynski, Director of Marketing for Lunchables. “As the original charcuterie kit brand, we’re putting a spin on our most iconic ingredients with Snackables, creating a snack kids will love and parents can feel good about serving to their families.”
The launch taps into a broader cultural shift around shared snacking experiences — from curated snack boards to casual hang outs, snacking has increasingly become a social activity rooted in both connection and convenience. In fact, nearly half of Gen Z consumers say they enjoy sweets and snacks with friends, 4 while shared food experiences like charcuterie have been linked to increased happiness and social connection.
In celebration of Snackables and the art of snacking together, Lunchables is introducing the Snackables CharcuteRING. A snackable spin on the current friendship ring trend, the CharcuteRING brings to life Lunchables’ signature mix-and-match approach as a wearable accessory, turning shared snacking into an official friendship moment. Fans can sign up for early access to the Snackables CharecuteRING by visiting Lunchables.com/Charcutering, with nationwide purchase available on National Best Friends Day, June 8.
Snackables is now rolling out to retailers nationwide for $2.99 per double snack pack. To learn more about Lunchables Snackables and the Snackables CharcuteRING, fans can follow along on the Lunchables Instagram and TikTok.
