UK vs US School Lunches! ft. Stranger Things Cast

Stranger Things Season 5 Vol. 1 finally drops on November 26th, and the hype is officially out of control. To warm up engines before the big premiere, Gaten Matarazzo, Noah Schnapp and Finn Wolfhard sat down for a chaotic taste test of classic US and UK school lunches – and the reactions are exactly what you’d expect from the Hawkins crew.

In the video, the boys go full nostalgia mode comparing the messiest American cafeteria staples with the most iconic British lunchroom favorites. From mystery meat vibes to beige-on-beige UK trays, they rate everything with brutal honesty, inside jokes and that same chemistry that made Stranger Things a global obsession. Between bites, they drop little comments about how their lives changed since season one, what it was like growing up on set, and how surreal it feels to be closing this chapter with Season 5.

What makes this clip fun is that it feels like hanging out with your friends after class, except your friends are three of the most famous kids on Netflix. No spoilers, but the energy, the banter and the way they talk about “the final season” makes it very clear: Stranger Things 5 is going to hurt… in a good way. If you’re counting the days until November 26th, this video is the perfect snack while you wait for the real feast in Hawkins.
