How can kids eat this nuke&puke crap?

[Swede]

Pizza pockets are inedible as far as I'm concerned.

1. I'm with you on this one. Any variation of "hot pockets" is revolting.

Nothing wrong with a quick meal or snack, but you can generally make a real one in less time than it takes to "nuke" an analog.

2. Like instant oatmeal.

When you just don't have another 60 seconds to have the real stuff.

3. Blech. "Instant Grits" are just as bad.

4. Real oatmeal takes like half an hour to make.

Steel-cut.

7. I was just about to point out the same thing

They're WELL worth the wait, however! :9

5. I'm still baffled by the concept of the frozen, crustless PB&J.

I takes me about a minute to make a PB&J for my kids.

10. it takes longer to thaw them than to make a real one.

6. you people are food elitists!

:popcorn: <--- instant popcorn

8. I'm in college, and I can hardly eat anything from the microwave.

Too soggy. :puke:

There's some Betty Crocker microwave stuff that's pretty good, though. The Three-Cheese Rotini is quite yummy.

9. Got rid of my microwave like a year ago

Well, actually I moved out of an apartment where my roommate had a microwave and didn't bother to buy one for myself at my new apartment. I didn't have the counter space and decided that I would see how I got along without one. Well, long story short I don't miss the damn thing at all, I cook more fresh meals, AND I can no longer eat the instant stuff you're talking about. And I'm a young'n who's been eating that stuff for years! Ye gods, even thinking about Hot Pockets makes me shudder now.

I don't really like anything from a microwave anymore, unless it's just a heated-up can of soup or something.
