So good, the government has issued a health warning over it.

Warning – this article will ruin all your hopes and dreams of becoming skinny in 2016.

First we had the 3-in-1, then the 4-in-1 with chicken balls.

Then spicebags took over and we didn’t think you could get much better.

Enter the Munchy Box.

According to The Metroa Munchy box consists of deep-fried parmo, which is deep-fried chicken dripping in melted cheese and bechamel sauce (the white sauce in a lasagne.)

DROOL.

After that, anything goes. Kebab meat, chips, pizza, ribs, naan bread, onion rings – basically anything that’s dripping in grease.

The Munchy Box does not discriminate.

That’s what’s Christmas eves about ?? #snackatak #large #munchiebox

The munchy box is going down a storm in UK, but has yet to pop up in Ireland.
Maybe that’s not such a bad thing, as each box reportedly contains up to 150 grams of fat and 5,000 calories.

So it’s no surprise then that the UK government has issued a health warning over the little boxes of joy.

Gary Walker of the Glasgow City Council’s Scientific Services, told The Scotsman:

“It’s safe to say it’s not a particularly healthy lunch. You would be talking about 10 grams of salt here alone. You are eating something that is heavy in fat and heavy in saturated fat.”

We still would.
