Frozen annoyance
I don’t love it when a frozen dinner requires you to remove the film from two different portions prior to cooking. One’s OK, but two is somewhat difficult to do without disturbing the other(s).
But lemme tell ya, that’s nothing compared to those stupid ones with the, I think, Betty Crocker brownies. Last time I checked, you were supposed to cook the dish for a while, _remove and set aside_ the gooey brownie, then cook it some more. I refuse to buy those, which unfortunately restricts my choices quite a bit these days, because they’re all the rage right now. Hopefully they’ll get over those or figure out a better way to balance the microwave energy or something…
In case you were wondering, my refusal to buy the latter category of dinners is probably the reason you’ve been hearing that the top 3 frozen dinner makers have fallen bankrupt. I guess I should have warned them about my vast consumer power. Ha ha, hahaha!

Man, I am so out of touch wit the “in” things. Last I knew, Betty Crocker got shot by one of the Beastie Boys back in the late 80′s. Good to know she’s back in the cookin’ biz. Sounds like she’s still a little screwed up by the incident, based on your directions for cooking one of her latest meals.
I mean, come on, who would want to go to all that trouble for a nasty brownie. If it was a Reeces’ Peanut Butter cup that I had to tango with a microwave and different sets of foil for, I’d be all over that shiznit. But a brownie? I have better ways to spend my time.
I don’t care how gooey it is.
