You have to have a strategy. It’s not a free-for-all, my friend. You can’t just grab any old sandwich and a bag of Monster Munch—unless you want to break the system.
The main is the anchor. You want protein? A wrap. Feeling indulgent? The triple cheese and onion sandwich, which is basically a heart attack in a baguette. Worth it.
Then comes the snack. This is where people mess up. Don’t waste it on a boring apple. Go for the crudités, a bag of posh popcorn, or—my personal weapon—the chocolate-covered rice cakes. You’re an adult, but you’re also a child. Own it.
Finally, the drink. Water is for amateurs. The M&S Meal Deal demands a fizzy elderflower cordial, a cold brew coffee, or a fancy kombucha that makes your colleagues think you have your life together. Spoiler: you don’t.
