Your videos have that timeless charm where I didn't even realise that this was new as binge them from time to time. I've never tried any frozen tv dinners but always find your reviews entertaining. Keep doing what you do, FOR US THE PEOPLE!
Not even once in mortal life?
@@Sorrowdusk Nah, they don't sell them where I'm from. I do get frozen bags of peas, fries/wedges, chicken nuggets, fish fingers, etc. But I'd be hard-pressed to find a frozen pizza and it's near impossible to find a ready to eat tv dinner.
Where do you even live 😳
@@akbarkhan656 Mate where the hell do you live? North Pole? Lol
Isn't TV dinner mostly an American thing? I've never had a TV dinner either. I wouldn't even know what it is if it wasn't for the internet.@@wombat5252
I remember having these a lot as a kid! There were no "celebration sprinkles" back then though. Just a plain brownie.
Oftentimes for me, the "sprinkles" were pieces of corn from the other side of the tray lol
Never heard of them called celebration when I was growing up we just said sprinkles
I ate these when I was a kid cause my dad couldn't (or rather wouldn't) cook. When I got old enough to not be satiated from one meal, I just started eating two, lol. My other favorite meals were half a pack of hotdogs and chili beans or a double-decker bologna and cheese sandwich with mustard.
that's seems like a sad childhood if your own parent couldn't bother cooking for you great parenting from your dad
@@deathhulk8860 he took me out to eat a lot and was good with teaching me other things though. My mom always cooked for me so I didn't miss out on home cooking :)
@@deathhulk8860 leave him alone he has colon cancer now.
@@deathhulk8860inleast he had food in the house and was well fed, same can't be said for alot of people these days
The plastic taste. Typically the plastic trays are made of CPET (Crystallizable Polyethylene Terephthalate). In general, this plastic "should" be good to ~425 F. But, lots of issues in the past three years with plastic "alloys" in a wide range of industries (I work with a lot of them including packaging). Its possible that some of what you are getting is outgassing from recycled content. While PET is generally "said" to be safe for making food packaging, CPET is used for HEATING food. I have been hearing some issues.
Because the microwave does not actually heat the PACKAGING (no water in it) the microwaved plastic may not leach plasticizers....but the oven heated one might. Great video!
I was just thinking this and remembering my father telling me to remove ALL plastic and heat foods in a metal pan instead, his reasoning was you can't trust a company to be sincere with your safety.
My sister and I used to eat these all the time as kids in the early 2000s. They were for busy nights when my parents had something to do and weren't able to cook a full family sit down meal. Hell we still eat them as adults.. I usually have them for a snack or quick lunch and they are great for my sister during her pregnancy as she doesn't have much of an appetite for anything lol. Although I do miss the original cartoon version of the KC penguin mascot but I understand they have to keep up with modern times.
The dangers of sodium are probably grossly overstated by governments. A journalist with a degree in physics (so at least some scientific background), Gary Taubes, tried over ten years ago to find out what the standard government guidelines on sodium consumption are based on, and couldn’t find any scientific basis. It’s a lot of opinions based vaguely on the fact that salt can raise blood pressure somewhat.
The human body is REALLY good at maintaining a healthy level of salt, and will dump it very quickly and efficiently if it gets too much. Obviously there’s a limit - you can’t survive drinking seawater - and reducing salt consumption is wise under some circumstances.
In the 90s, in Japan I consumed soooooo much extra salt, when you are sweating to death you go through a lot of it. There are also multiple consumable salts. Mmmmm msg ❤
Yep; and even the sodium and bp claim is suspect. The study it is based on was all done on a ethnically homogeneous group (re: a study of a people... Not on sodium). I believe the author disavowed its use to claim high sodium is bad for most people.
I can't believe they changed the model of the penguin mascot. I may of been some 90s kid back in the day. But I use to think the original looked cool back in the day and recognizable from the TV commercials. But now he looks like some happy feet reject. Or some unused caretaker model for Surf's Up. (Two CGI kids movies involving talking penguins that I used to watch)
I remember when the Kid's Cousine meal trays were blue
Victory sprinkles? Sounds like something out of World War II, when (for example) they taught recruits to swim at least the (relatively easy) elementary backstroke, and called it the “victory backstroke.”
Of course, George Orwell put a sinister touch on “victory” with various things in his novel 1984 getting it as a sort of prefix: Victory Gin, Victory Cigarettes…
(Orwell had worked for the British government in WWII and probably had had enough of gimmicks like this.)😊
And our parents (I'm 66 now) grew up during WWII with "victory gardens". Though both my parents were from farm families, and did real farming even as kids.
Folks, please don’t feed this stuff to your kids. High in salt and fat, and low in nutrition. When I was younger, my folks always made sure there was home cooking every night. They worked very hard to make that happen for us 4 kids. Now that I have kids of my own, I make sure they have good home cooked food on the table every night. It’s not easy, but they’re almost old enough to help. Then they’ll know how to cook when they have kids. Sorry, kinda rambling on now lol. Love the plethora of new vids, Larry! Keep it up!
When you described the sprinkles as chalky i could taste them from my childhood.
Agreed. I'd omit them, don't need the extra sugar hit.
The desserts in those frozen meals would usually be the first thing I'd chow down. Not because I liked them but just to make way for the better parts of the meal. Most, to me, were just a waste of space.
Fed rhis to both my kids in their young-youth and they both loved them, but both hated the desserts. For my daughter I used to sneak the nuggets into the air fryer for five minutes to crisp things up (if there was too much water)
You didn't care about your kids health too much smh
@@user-vy4xx2qp3d Mind ya business.
@@user-vy4xx2qp3d he shouldn't have had children.
I feel like KC has designed the meals for the microwave knowing that’s how most will cook them
Dear Larry, I _really_ appreciate you going to the extra effort to do both microwave and oven cooking.
I _live_ oven cooking, because I can do something else while it cooks, and it generally smells so nice.
And, it's good for me to see that sometimes, the microwave really _is_ better.
The developers must have thought about not only who was eating these, but that many of those children were also cooking them. So they microwave better than cook in the oven. I still love corn as a vegetable, but the adult in me wishes they'd mix it up with some green beans. Way back when TV dinners came in foil trays there were a couple of dessert options. One was cinnamon apples that was pretty good. I think there was also cherry cobbler. They also did the chocolate cake as kind of molten. If you let your dinner cook too long the cake was very dry.
That burnt cake is a staple of my childhood lol
I figured Larry would love those celebration sprinkles based on his choice in nail color sometimes
😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
Is he trans or smthg
@@RicardoMontania no he has his daughter do the hand work sometimes cuz his hands are messed up
And I like to poke fun at him for it
@@CoinSlotKitty Oh, that's mean lol
@@RicardoMontania not really meant to be mean
just busting his balls
@@CoinSlotKittyI thought his wife helps him?
Gen X here and I remember that getting a TV Dinner was a treat, like it was a "Nah, I gotta head home! Its TV dinners tonight!" special. Now a TV Dinner is worse than prison food.
you should see the frozen meals we have in europe i would say they are high quality but are expensive probably because they use quality ingredients
Having these meals definitely makes you feel like a kid again! And it is great to hear that they still taste great even when we are not kids anymore!
Pretty much the same in the cafeteria. Because your government cheaps out on "nutritious" foods matter a fact
All schools everywhere, kids show eat FREE. Shouldn't have to pay for school lunch, is what your taxes are supposed to do? Or is that your government doesn't care and your kid goes hungry everyday in school
We love your videos man...its just basic and with a good review.
I *the person* have been wanting this topic. I watch when you talk about the labels on canned and frozen food because I'm always watching my sodium. Thanks!
My kids only eat the sprinkles if they haven't eaten them in long enough for them to forget how bad they are. We like to cook the corn dogs, the chicken, and the fries in the air fryer and the rest in the microwave. It all still finishes cooking at the same time. And we haven't had any complaints since we started cooking them this way.
Probably the TV dinners needed the old foil plates of the 70s for them to be just right for the oven for them not to taste like plastic.
The nutritonal label is all over the place...at least children are getting stuff, if not too much of it.
As for adults still eating this?? I think once I have children I'll love them enough to have homemade dinner meals always available. Not a vegetable to be seen here! (corn doesn't count IMHO)
What's wrong with veggies?
@@DYELGAINZ That's the problem, not enough veggies.
I hate sprinkles! Iove your videos though 😊
Honestly these meals seem like they’d be redundant for a kid. I mean, could you imagine as a kid playing a whole game of soccer, being that wore out, and really hungry, and your anticipations for a nice hearty meal are high. And mom sets one of these in front of you lol!
Sup Larry, great episode, great reviews, wouldn't expect less from you bro, one of my daughters sends this with kids, they eat my dinner and let them have these for lunch, microwave only. No idea what plastic is made of? But not good in oven. Obviously feeding younger ones I have to taste and some better than any frozen meals I've had in past🤷. You hit nail on head on all of them, tyvm tc
I was surprised you actually liked these. I remember when Kid Cuisine gained popularity in the 90s. I tried a few when I was a kid, but weren't really into TV dinners back then. I was mostly eating Lunchables more, especially when they had their MEGA meals back in the early 2000s.
Lunchables are a guilty pleasure as an adult. Kid cuisine was fun but can’t remember the tastes of it.
Take a shot when he says "Corn."
We didn’t have a microwave until I was in high school. Never used it for anything other that heating liquids.
When we got our first toaster oven, my sister and I used it for the old Totino's Pizza Rolls. Loved those things, though they probably aren't that "healthy". 😊
Used to love these as a treat when I was a kid
This is why people ask you to read all the nutrition facts. At least read the Potassium. It helps with the Sodium level.
What did they do to my boy! Why does that penguin look like that.
Just like every other brand image over the past decade or so. Cold, soulless, minimalist and lacking creativity.
Ate a lot of the banquet chicken nugget meals, with mashed potatoes, corn and brownie! Always loved the chocolate corn brownie! 😂😂
I had to rewind like did Larry say chocate cake 😂😂😂 love your videos and I never miss one..
Def used to get these for my kids
I forgot about these kids cuisine tv dinners! My daughter who was born in 1996 loved these. If they had a toy she would have preferred it over Mcdonalds! Haven't seen them in stores in years! TFS! 😊😊😊

Thanks Larry ❤
Used to eat these all the time as a kid in the 2000’s and early 2010’s. I think the last time I ever had one was in 2011 but they were always good little snacks when I would play xbox and Roblox
I preferred the 1-10 scale. No need to say “to It” in descriptions, but here you are in good company ; others commit this redundancy also. I enjoy your style. Thanks for ditching scooter.
Would love to get these in the uk
Real legend man!
Another banger of a video!
Good review, thanks for sharing, God bless !
When my family moved from Yugoslavia to Detroit Michigan and finally our white flight across 8 mile, my bro and I survived off freeze dried food. My parents were working 12 hrs shift had no time to cook. Looking back I wish my mother let me use the stove by myself to actually cook something nutritious.🤷🏻♂️
It may not taste very good, but mixing the celebration sprinkles with the corn and mac and cheese would make a cool look.
"chaw-kit cake"
I aint had a kid cuisine meal in years i remember eating the nuggets meal quite often as a kid this is nostalgia for me lol
I never had these growing up in the 1960s and early 1970s. Maybe they didn't exist that early, but I doubt Mom would have bought them. Money was often tight.
Child of the 70s here. No Kid Cuisine then. But the regular TV dinners had dessert in a lot of them. We didn't get them often, but I remember my 2 highest priorities were no peas or peas & carrots and a good dessert. I usually got roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy or turkey dinner. No microwave so you had to put your foil tray in the oven.
I think the worst part is the new design of that penguin mascot. It looks like something out of polar express or mars needs moms
I've started eating more sensibly and a part of my diet are low calorie frozen meals, so I need to dig back and see what you've reviewed because Smart Ones mashed potatoes are the worst I have ever, EVER had. Watery and disgusting.
Thank you for your reviews.
Café Steamers usually come out pretty well. I usually go with a pasta one. Potatoes just don't freeze well. If I'm especially hungry I find a bag of veggies that match and bulk the meal up that way. Then you get at least 3 servings of veg and are full enough to pass up less healthy things.
if you want to eat more sensibly you shouldn't be eating processed food at all
@@deathhulk8860 I'm doing just fine. I'm down 75lbs so far. It's not like I eat frozen meals every day.
Lol, Celebration Sprinkles
Time for Costco foods! I’ll pay for the membership!!!
We have 4 kids here under 6. We’ve bought them but Banquet has a better chicken nugget meal for 1.00 less that has more food. Tastes good too.
Seeing this video post made me question if it was Christmas seeing how it was posted at around 6am. Larry Claus is coming to town. 🎅🏼
as a kid in the early 90's i loved these
Those were part of my childhood the good old days😢
Reminds me of this hamburger steak and taters meal with apple crumble had something like 2,900mgs of sodium in it
I grew up eating frozen TV dinners because my mother, God bless her, wasn't a good cook. So I vowed to not feed my kids TV dinners.
Then I became a single mom, working full time, trying to complete her college degree and I needed a meal my father could fix for my kids while I was in class.
They would come shopping with me and they'd get to pick their dinner each week. They actually liked these things at the time, especially getting to pick the meal they liked..
End of the story, finished my degrees. Got a good job, And I never fed my kids another TV dinner.
Certified Gold!!!!!
2:03 DANG, that's a LOT of sugar! Is this a dessert, or an entrée?
please tell me you didn't heat the sprinkles?
My cousins use to have kid cuisines and lunchables and I would get so excited and thought they were rich to be buying that because I never had them lol they were a delicacy to me
Microwave safe but not Oven safe Tray
There was another one for kids called Fun Feast. They were better imo, but they haven't been made since probably the early 2000s.
I use to eat these like the chicken nuggets with taco bell fire sauce.
Who else remembers as a kid getting a delicious peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a brown paper bag for lunch and hot dogs and Mac and cheese on paper plates for dinner yum.
🙋♀️Toledo Ohio watching 😊
Now this is an appropriate title
less worrying about the salt, more attention to the carbohydrates 😍
Oven BAAAAAD. MicroWave GOOOOOOOOD hahahah Aloha~~ from Hawaii~~ 🍍🤙🏽🤙🏽
Growing up in the 2000s, the commercials for this had me begging my mom for me to get one of these kid cuisines. All I remember was the pure taste of disappointment, everything tastes chemically/plastic-e/soggy. Never ate another kid cuisine after that
Tostinos pizza was where it was at❤😅😮
Paprika extract for sprinkles....🎉
A carb lovers dream with a cup of salt!
Hmmmm...mmmm
Even though I am and adult I would actually eat the one with the turkey corn dog.🌍👍🌍😘🌍💯🌍🍀🌍
Kid Cuisine from the 2000s was better than how it is nowadays. I really hate it when people change our childhood!
So early in the morning to drop a vid!
These are $2.50 at my local grocery store. By far one of the cheapest frozen meals available. They are very yummy, I agree with the brownie but you have to not use sprinkles and also eat them halfway through the cooking process, it's like a thick pudding and it's delicious!
👍👍👍
I ate these sometimes when I was a kid
12:30 It seems odd that the nutrition info is based on a 2000 calorie diet ... for *_kids,_* is that the right number of calories?
I assume they did a revamp of their products since i remember kid cuisine looking different and tasting very mid. I bought it on my trip to the US to try it for fun since i saw youtube video of it. I remember it was nuggets meal with mac n cheese, chocolate pudding and corns. It didn't taste very good and the mac n cheese was bland. The pudding taste alright but no one like hot pudding, the corn was kinda old and the nugget was on par with supermarket nuggets. I guess they have a entire makeover since i remember they have a different looking mascot.
I love hot pudding ngl
They must have improved the recipe and quality of ingredients, because I tried a couple Kid Cuisine meals about 5 years ago and they were gross.
I remember it tasting like paper boiled in water.
The first two meals need to reduce the amount of sodium and carbs.
I liked your review.
Do You Know What Your Kids ARE Eating??
Reminds me of the YT channel "Freezer Burns". These are the meals that did him in and he quit. (though I suspect he planned to quit for awhile)
PLEASE TRY THE CHICKEN DRUMSTICK ONE
Ihave never seen that one?
Nice video. if you are going to give 3.5 and 3.7 ratings you might just as well go back to the 1 to 10 scale. Thanks
Right. Giving the corn dog meal a 37 out of 50 defeats the purpose of using a simpler scale.
I used to eat those kids Cuisines and I have to say they were quite tasty
One of the main reason Freezer Burns quit his journey through the supermarket frozen food isles. I enjoyed watching him, but seeing his disgust in the additional unneeded ingredients in meals targeting children was sad.
This has to be a paid endorsement lol (iknow it isnt) ive had the nugget meal and the nuggets are too spongy for me. The mac and cheese is bland beyond saving and the brownies usually taste cakie and flavorless.. like chocolate tasting bread. If you think that mac and cheese is good then you would absolutely love velveeta. Velveeta compared to that mac is like comparing mcdonalds bacon to fine dine pancetta
I used to call those Kid’s Cousin when I was a kid lol
I'd guess that stuff like this is to prepare north american kids for school "food", just so they're ready to expect crap that is barely passable as anything related to actual food... :P
When I saw this I thought were gonna have another "Freezer Burns last episode walk-off".
1:40 Nineteen "good" votes, eighteen "bad" votes ... they're NOT good.
Kids cuisine seems to have mastered the microwave cooking huh?
Early morning Wolfe pit 😎💪🏻
