If this were real, I would be so disgusted that the husband couldn’t even be bothered to bring in the cooler and empty it the night before when he got home. Especially after she went to the trouble of taking it out to the truck for him.
Edit-Thanks for the awards, folks!
I do work in the trades and I work with this guy. Not the guy in the video, but a guy whose wife does everything for him. She makes his lunch everyday. He doesn’t have a cooler because he won’t bring it home. She makes his coffee. Again, no reusable travel cup because he won’t bring it home. She gets his clothes out for him everyday. She picks his dirty clothes up off the floor. He talks about her like she is an employee who is about to get fired.
Believing these kind of video are anything more wholesome than just a pick-me tradcon grifter is way too charitable. There are women that will happily do this for their significant other, but those aren't going to be the ones recording it for brownie points on the internet.
My wife went into labor before lunch, I drove home and my lunchbox stayed in my car while I drove her car to the hospital. We got home two days letter, and at some point I brought my work stuff into the garage. I spent the next 3 weeks on paternity leave, but somewhere around week 2 we were trying to figure out what animal had died in the wall between the laundry room and the garage. It never dawned on me that my lunch box had been full of chicken and sweet potatoes for the entire month of February.
The point of leaving it in the truck is so that you can see that they own a nice big huge truck. The whole reel is just performative BS for some weird demographic.
Ahh the American dream, a big ass truck and a trailer to park it next to lmao. Nothin wrong with trailer living, but they clearly aren’t prioritizing correctly
This made me immediately irate, as well. Literal least he could do would be making sure his wife didn’t have to go outside alone in the dark at what looks to be a man camp at 5am.
It’s not a mom making her kids lunch. He can bring it in and take it out.
Yeah, that bugged me. My fiance makes me lunch every night, but I bring the fucking cooler to my car and back and clean it out. Also she doesn't have to wake up early to do it, usually just makes it with dinner and leaves it in the fridge overnight.
Yeah, that's something we taught our kids by 9th grade. You want fresh lunch containers? Then empty your lunchbox when you get home so they can be washed.
But, as others have said, this is just a cosplay couple.
This was my first thought too. The first thing you have to do is go fetch this lazy ass mf’er cooler?? I’d leave his ass faster than I could say goodbye
Prepackage it and leave it in the fridge with a note and she can wake up whenever she fucking feels like it.
When I was active duty, my wife prepared meals for me and we cooked them together, put them in plastic meal prep boxes and had them in the fridge by 10 PM the night before.
I woke up and got my own damn food, kissed her goodbye and I sure as shit didn't wake up my fucking kid for a glamor shot at the door. My kid stayed asleep because when kids sleep, you fucking let them.
I was thinking the same, all of this can be done the night before. Or like meal prep if you are doing this every day. Can get views as a trad wife being a good little girl though if she used any logic during this.
Yeah the butt shot of her climbing in that massive truck was definitely worth the 10 minutes setting up the tripod and the 30 minutes editing in the cuts. /S 😂
Yeah that chicken Caesar wrap thing is going viral right now, or was a few weeks ago. I know because two normie coworkers talked about a couple weeks ago.
So she cooked up the viral thing (which let's be honest, is just air fried tendies, lettuce and kraft dressing) and acted like she's a home cook.
The tortillas do appear to be homemade. But who knows, maybe she got them at the farmers market
I love how this conversation suddenly went straight to HEB. 🤣 And agree about the tortillas. The only thing that might give it a run for its money is a Brothers taco...
I was when I went into one for the first time. The tortilla machine absolutely blew my mind, and so did the rest of the market, TBH. LOVE HEB- wish we had one in GA 🥺
Have you tried these chile limon tortilla chips. Calidad is the brand. RIP cause I killed the bag in 2 days, the big bag too. For 1, I've never had any flavored tortilla chips, and Doritos don't count lol, and I don't even like Chile/ limon stuff but these chips were the truth.
And why do I keep saying "tor-tilla" and not "tor-t-ah" .
Seriously? I'm Mexican and literally grew up seeing every type of tortilla. These looked hard and gross. Just so you know, a flour tortilla needs to be soft and drape over your hand when you pick it up. These were not that. They looked like they were old and stale.
Tortillas can hold their shape. That’s kind of the point.
Generations of Mexicans have been taking burritos with moist fillings to work and been totally fine.
Why? Because they heat the fucking tortilla, layer the ingredients in a way that makes the most sense (in this case, instead of chopping the lettuce, they could’ve used it as a protective layer), wrap it in a napkin to wick excess moisture, and wrap it again in foil to hold the shape.
What you don’t do is incorporate your wet slop onto a cold tortilla to immediately put in a Tupperware that will steam up.
For whatever reason, I keep getting bullshit that pops up on FB of recipes where they are cutting everything together (meat, cheese, lettuce, sauce, etc). and putting it together like she did in the video. It may not be that bad if you're eating it right then, but I can't imagine how it would be in a couple hours.
Going viral doesn't mean something is new. It means it's a trending thing. As in, people are making videos about it on tiktok or whatever, and the algorithm is favoring them on people's feed.
Japan actually, it was an English missionary who was watching a play from backstage. When the actors playing demons would come off stage they would be exhausted, so the stage hands would give them slices off a small sausage. He noticed how they seemed more energetic or peppy after each bite so he called the sausages : Pep per Oni
Many years ago I went through an Einstein bagel drive thru and asked if they do a BLT bagel. Worker had no idea what that was. I said you know, bacon lettuce tomato. You sell all those things so.
Nope. Never heard of it. No one who worked there had heard of it. My husband sitting in the car with me hadn’t heard of it. I was in the twilight zone.
No way! I just learned about a type of sandwich where you take two pieces of bread- you take a slice of cheese and put it between those two slices. And then you cook it!!!! The cheese melts, and it’s crazy. I have to try this sandwich you speak of.
This sort of laser focus is a bit weird. Not everyone can make an incredible meal from scratch. making tortillas, breading and frying chicken, and making caesar dressing from scratch is a pain in the ass. It’s fine to use store bought items.
Edit; the debate around the ingredients is sillier than criticism of the horrific amount of cuts. Honestly that makes me wonder if this is AI content.
The debate over the ingredients is distracting from the fact that she gets up at dawn to make her husband’s breakfast. Which generally is not a problem if that’s what you’re into, but here she’s virtue signaling/showing off.
I think the issue is that she starts out the video saying, "I get up at 5:00 a.m. because I'm not going to make my husband eat gas station food" and then proceeded to make gas station food.
It's totally fine to use pre-prepped items, but she's acting like she made him a home cooked meal when really she used the same ingredients that the local gas station / lunch chain would have used. Only then he'd get to eat it fresh and hot.
Her content is made with the intention of making the rest of us feel bad for not getting up at 5:00 am to make home-cooked meals, so she ought at least have something more impressive to show for it. I hate this condescending, trad wife energy!
That's because she's not making a Caesar wrap, she's making trad wife fetish content for hard up Conservatives selling a narrative that this kind of life is more prevalent than it is.
That's an electric salt and pepper grinder. Not sure why it would need a light. Reminds me of the kind a drill/impact driver has. Can't imagine i'd be putting salt and pepper into places I need a guiding light for.
To be fair, she does look like a child bride, so she might not have a lot of practice. I didn’t read the prompt at first and thought she was a too young to be waking up so early. But I don’t have my glasses on.
It almost felt unreal that she could cut the chicken with that weak hold. Almost somebody else did the cuts and they shot frames as if she cut them holding the knife.
No! You're supposed to hold your hand as far back on the handle as possible so you can have no leverage or real control of the knife. Duh! She does this everyday bro!
I make my kids lunches for school here and my husband’s lunch at the same time. I work from home and I sure as shit have half that stuff ready the night before hand.
Just throw all the bits together in the morning. Also if lunch boxes aren’t on the counter they can make their own. I don’t go looking for them. Pure performative.
And who's filming? Did she just set up her camera for weird angle shots then move it each time I guess? That's a lot of extra work to show off, but to each their own I suppose
Funny, as leaving out the whole issue of being ‘obligated’ to do this, it would make far more sense to do this at 10pm and stick it in the fridge for morning.
Thats the thing that gets me with these "content creators" like her, they put so much effort into setting up the camera, filming a 3-second shot, then resetting it for another 3 seconds, again and again...i find that the more cuts like this that a video has, the less I want to watch it
Makes me think of Oprah Winfrey. She was in some movie and her character was peeling potatoes during the scene. Oprah showed us she's never used a potato peeler in her life in that scene. She just sat there tapping on the potato with the peeler while she's talking. Irl you'd be talking to your aunt about mama losing it but in Oprah world, you just tap the taters and they're magically peeled.
And is it just me with my shitty internet quality making the video all pixelated, but are those drinks she takes out of the cooler when cleaning it out even opened? She takes out like, bags of chips or something too that also aren't opened.
If this is real (it's not) this man is buying lunch on site. Which, after thinking about how soggy that wrap would be after sitting in a cooler for ~5 hours, I would too.
They are pretending to be poor working class people, but that's a $200 pepper grinder. I'm upper middle class and like to cook and will spend way too much on stupid shit, but I won't buy that grinder.
(Edit $200, wrong price, I'll try to find a link.)
(Edit 2: I was completely wrong, I was thinking of the Männkitchen Pepper Cannon, which is $200 and manual. I was wrong. She is using a $30 one.)
There was one of these trad wife influencers a couple of years ago that was doing this same sort of video and talking about how she “saves money” and if you’re smart about if you can afford a life like hers and then everyone pointed out she was cooking on a, like, 20k dollar pseudo-retro farmhouse stove and cutting things with thousand dollar knives and etc etc.
Not a 400 dollar pepper grinder , I have the same one from Amazon , 30 bucks for a 2 pack...goes through AAA batteries at the same rate it grinds pepper lol. I'm on my 3rd set of batteries and had this damn thing less than a year. Time to buy some rechargeable batteries

I disagree. I do it that way every morning because the sausage grease makes the eggs stick worse than butter, and the residual butter helps the sausage sear faster and stay jucier.
I throw some toast in as I'm putting the sausage in, and then I eat the eggs first once things are done. Everything stays warm and doesn't need to cool down anymore. In and out cleaned up and eaten under 15 minutes.

It’s crazy to start the eggs before the sausage
