A TikTok star’s preferred Tesco meal deal has sparked a heated debate online, with users questioning her choices and offering their own meal deal wisdom. The retail giant’s bargain lunchtime offer has been a staple for years, attracting customers with its affordable assortment of sandwiches, wraps, cold pastas, sweet or savoury treats, and an extensive drink selection, all for just £3.40 with a Clubcard.
Yinrun Huang, a reality TV star known for her stint on Big Brother in 2023, shares her British experiences through social media and recently chronicled her latest Tesco adventure. Excitedly, she declared: “There are so many great options [for meal deals], but here are my picks.” Yinrun revealed her go-to meal deal consists of a chicken salad sandwich, Highland Spring strawberry-flavored water, and cheese dunkers. Conducting a “taste test” at home, she highlighted the “three green lights” on her sandwich packet, indicating its nutritional benefits. “We have protein and vegetables in it,” she noted, awarding it a “nine out of 10” rating for flavor.
After downing her water, she praised its refreshing qualities and gave it a perfect score. The final segment of her video featured Yinrun savoring her Philadelphia Light & Tasty breadsticks with soft cheese, describing them as “brilliant.” She enthusiastically added: “So creamy and cheesy. Eight out of 10!”
Rounding off her controversial food post, Yinrun encouraged her 604,000 followers to share their opinions on her selection. However, many were less than impressed. One TikTok user exclaimed: “No water of any sort belongs in a meal deal. It’s no longer a deal!” Another user bluntly declared: “That is the deadest meal deal of all time.” Yet another user scoffed, stating: “This is the worst meal deal ever. I’m sorry, but strawberry water?”
A plethora of alternative meal deal suggestions flooded the comments section. One user recommended a “Chicken Caesar wrap, a bottle of Lucozade and Chilli Sensation crisps,” while another championed a “Hoisin duck wrap, Pepsi Max or Coke and Sensations Chilli Sweet Chicken crisps.” A third user voiced their preference for a “no mayonnaise ham sandwich, Cheese Quavers and a Ribena.” The debate continues, with each user firmly standing behind their own preferred meal deal combination.
