“Did you have a not-so-tasty lunch?” Mark asked his wife after seeing her reaction.

“You know these stories,” Kelly reminded him before sharing with the audience. “My mom would make our school lunches the night before…but you truly haven’t lived through the horror of a school lunch until one of my mom’s.”

The Live hostess revealed that her mother constantly made her “signature sandwich,” consisting of cream cheese and grape jelly on white bread. On top of that, Kelly Ripa’s mother apparently made the sandwiches the night before, so they would generally be mushy the following day.

Apparently, Kelly’s mother would also place the sack lunch in the fridge next to a half-chopped onion. The smell would often permeate the sack and make the sandwich smell.

The actress described it as a “cream cheese and jelly, onion-scented, slime sandwich.”

“Yeah, every time we talk about school lunches here, I get upset. I get traumatized,” she admitted.

The Live hosts prepare to share new content with fans

Although the school lunch segment wasn’t quite so fun and positive, Live fans can look forward to new and exciting content. The daytime talk show hosts revealed that a brand new season of Live will be out on September 5.

Over on Instagram, fans couldn’t help but share their delight.

“Yay! Getting tired of the summer reruns!!!” one fan wrote in the comments.
