A mum’s lunchbox fail has left hundreds in hysterics after her creative snack didn’t turn out the way she expected. 

The woman made a ‘cute’ edible character using Baby Bell cheese and a lolly moustache for her son’s lunchbox.

However when the child opened his lunch box, he was horrified with what he found. 

The black colouring from the moustache had seeped through the cheese and all over the container leaving the face looking like something out of a horror movie. 

The mum shared her gaffe online much to the amusement of hundreds who joked the snack looked ‘so threatening and ominous’.

A mum tried to make a ‘cute’ snack for her son’s lunchbox however the boy was horrified with the mess he found at lunch time 

‘Tried to pack a cute lunch for my kid using a baby bell cheese and a candy moustache,’ the mum explained in a post to the What I Asked For VS What I Got Facebook group.

She shared the conversation she had with her son about the lunchbox creation, which he did not eat, when she picked him up from school that day.  

‘Me at pick-up: ‘Sooooooo?? Did you like your lunch??’, Them: ‘WHAT?! NO!!! GEEZ MUM! What the heck was that even supposed to beeee?!??’,’ she wrote.

‘Me: ‘What?? It was supposed to be cute!’, ‘Them: ‘It WAS NOT *cute*. It was literally horrifying!’.’

The mum then opened boy’s lunchbox which had the uneaten cheese snack and was shocked with what she saw.

The woman made a very cute edible character using Baby Bell cheese and a candy moustache as a lunchbox snack but the black colouring from the lolly leaked

‘Note to self: Put juicy fruit in separate compartment,’ she laughed.

The woman explained the black mess had come from the candy moustache which she got in a cookie decorating kit along with lips and ‘googly eyes’. 

Parents in the comments were rolling with laughter at the mum’s school lunch blunder.

‘Omg that is too funny! My husband and I laughed really hard. But you tried!’ one user said while another wrote: ‘I just snorted soda out my nose’.  

‘This is horrifying. Your poor kid,’ joked a third and a fourth called the creation ‘threatening and ominous’. 

Some joked the moustached cheese face looked like the Pringles mascot. 

‘The Pringles man has seen better days,’ one woman quipped. 

‘Someone get that lil guy some help he looks like he’s been through enough,’ a second added.
