In the Instagram reel by @itsgoodbyetwenties, we see the mother assembling her son's packed lunch. She starts by justifying her choice of foods, stating, "Is this the world's most expensive school lunch? My son is destined to be the world's greatest surgeon, so I take his nutrition very seriously. I have developed his palette to be quite refined so that he can fit in with his colleagues later in life." She goes on to showcase the many food items she packers in the box, including steak strips, steak sauce, smoked salmon and "his favourite food," i.e., caviar. The box also contains fresh cream, "perfectly round potato chips," a watermelon and feta salad with balsamic drizzle and a chocolate cake with sea salt sprinkle. Watch the complete reel below.

"As a surgeon, I had a Nutella sandwich and half a banana."
"I'm not even fazed about your lunch choice for him, what bothered me is your lunch packing skills. Horrible."
"Lol. I hope this is a joke because it's the most pretentious thing I've ever heard."
"Later, he will fit in with his colleagues... But for now, he can just be ostracized as the better kid with the weird stinky lunchbox."
"I watched the whole video before reached the caption. I was seriously beginning to question your decisions. Your satire got me."
"Someone pls tell me this post is sarcasm."
"I spent way too much time confirming this is satire."
