When I think of a "struggle meal," I'm envisioning something like buttered noodles.

A classic.

However, my concept of a "struggle meal" has been completely redefined after seeing this one TikTok.

In the post from @wehavethatathome_, which asked people to share their most "unhinged" meals they've ever made, thousands of commenters weighed in on their wildest culinary creations. (And I'm honestly a little concerned...) Here are 18 of the most creative responses:

1."I ran out of milk, so I used half a can of cream of mushroom soup to replace milk in macaroni and cheese (Kraft Dinner). It's the only way I have it now."

2."A packet of pancake mix mixed with tinned corn and a little tin of tuna and pepper. Makes enough fritters for a family of four with leftovers."

3."A jar of peanut butter and a bottle of wine."

4."Spread butter on a bread and put sugar on it; it's really good."

—soulz.dj, TikTok

5."Can of tomatoes. Just ate it with a spoon."

6."I was living in China as a student, had just two slices of bread left, went to a McDonald's, and asked for some ketchup packages. Made a 'ketchup sandwich.'"

7."Chicken stock cube. Boiled water. Shredded iceberg lettuce wilted in it. Actually, yum."

8."I once ate only rice and mayonnaise."

9."A sandwich made of two slices of Kraft cheese and mayo. That's it. No bread, just cheese and mayo."

10."I went to a cheese shop and just tasted all the cheese until I was feeling full enough."

—cagmre, TikTok

11."Dry Weet-Bix with butter slaps every single time."

—tayla_mcleod, TikTok

12."Rice and coffee. You put the rice in your coffee mug and you eat it there. It's actually pretty common to eat it in Southeast Asian countries!"

—nemarlakay, TikTok

13."A jar of pickles and a can of tuna; it was great."

—ari_macmac, TikTok

14."So, here where I live, there was this really fancy pet shop that would throw away these super mega expensive dog treats. They were very bland; however, their texture and crunch were really good. I'd eat it with milk and sugar. Another interesting point was the 45 grams of protein per 100 grams."

15."Grated cheese on a plate in the microwave so it gets dehydrated and becomes a crisp."

—wazza2580, TikTok

16."I used to mix Cheez Whiz and bacon bits in a bowl and just eat it like that."

—maxxphobia, TikTok

17."I used to eat croutons and ranch like it was a meal on its own."
