  1. Raise your hand if you were a LatchKey kid that had to eat this abomination, or another McDonald's Happy Meal, after school in the 1970s or 1980s.

  2. CW: re: Food

    Any time I see "New Zesty Flavor!" on the packaging I know the food is dead to me. "Zest" in this context is a marketing term meaning "We've decided to make it for much cheaper and we're unable to cover up the noticeably different flavor." #frozenfood #tvdinners #zest #zesty #flavor #flavour

  3. CW: Food

    Food Companies (especially Frozen Food Companies) keep silently changing out the ingredients for cheaper ones in smaller quantities, despite also jacking up the prices to sometimes 200% of it was just a few years ago. And as a picky eater who sometimes relies on "safe foods" for a familiar texture and flavor profile to make sure I eat, it's frustrating to pay twice as much for a frozen meal only to open it and see, "Oh, they decided they wanted more money." #frozenfood #packagedfood #readytoeatmeals #tvdinners #pickyeater
