Oscar Mayer, the company behind the child-oriented Lunchables concepts, is trying a similar concept for adults: Oscar Mayer Sandwich Combinations, boasting a deli sandwich, crackers or a snack mix, and a dessert. Varieties include Oven-roasted Turkey & Sharp Cheddar, Southwestern-style Chicken & Sharp Cheddar and Honey Ham & Swiss Cheese. The desserts are Jell-O Sugar-free Mousse Temptation or Strawberry Gelatin.pf
