Get that shit outta my face.

    I used to get the TGI Fridays hot wings because they were the cheapest decent-tasting thing in the tiny convenience store near where I used to live in the desert. You would pop them in, 6 minutes, done.

    I don't know why but they fucking changed it. Now the sauce is in a separate plastic pouch instead of already on the wings, with its own separate heating instructions that involve boiling water and shit.

    So I thought "maybe it tastes better now" and jumped through all of the hoops. Dirtied an extra dish, extended my prep time by about five minutes, drizzled the sauce onto the wings and shook them in a couple bowls to get an even coating of sauce.

    It tastes exactly the same as it used to. What the fuck why would they do that.

      Probably for the same reason box cakes ask you to add oil, eggs, milk, or whatever else they ask you to add. All of that shit could be powder. Every box cake mix could be "add water, bake" but folks think it's "more real" if they have to measure out some oil or crack an egg. So box cakes with a couple of simple instructions sold better than "add water, bake" ones and here we are

        "more real" ... either bake an actual cake or buy one from a bakery you fucking aaaaaahhhhrgh

        box cake comes in a box! you couldve added a fucking egg to make it "more real" anyways you culinarily illiterate jackasses, but if im making a cake from a box its cause i dont want to deal with eggs and measurements, for fucks sake
