Is this a frozen product, or is it wrapped at room temperature like a Joe Louis cake? What in tarnation am I even looking at?
It’s pretty hard to explain what “sad looking food” is in my language. I just show people American public school lunch.
I don’t think anyone but an American could ever understand the horror of the rectangular “pizza” made with American “cheese”.
We had those in England, too
I decided to not become a pornstar 😭. I could have been there getting it on with the most beautiful women in the world. But I don’t know if y’all noticed, they only got two! Every sex porn guy only has two balls! What do they do to their third ball!!!
30 years ago when I was stuck working a crappy 3rd shift job, these were one of the few decent things to eat in the break room. I can still recall the taste but I can’t say I miss it.
Bro, I kept some frozen burrito company in business because it was better than the drywall sandwiches they offered at camp. The burrito would thaw out in my work vest by lunch and was edible with a bit of hot sauce. Not good. Edible.
I still get one every few years, just to remember my roots.
Gas station food will not keep you healthy, but it WILL keep you from starving. Though you’d have to be starved of both food and the time or will to cook something for yourself
I’m not gonna sit here pretend like I haven’t had these gas station microwave cheeseburgers before.
Yes it’s probably been decades, but I can still remember eating these when I was in certain “situations” and there’s a quality to them that isn’t horrible, if you don’t mind eating all the plastics and preservatives that come with it. There’s something about the way the bread steams in the bag.
I do remember that you have got to make sure you microwave it thoroughly, and then you have got to let it cool a few minutes.
I’m sad to report that I too have eaten some of these when I was a kid.
Damn forgot about cheap vending machine burgers. Moved out when I was 17, my roommate’s mom worked for a company “Canteen” that restocked something like these into vending machines, so we got a lot for free every week.
Ate a whole bunch in the first year. Eventually got really sick of them. Very believable you could grow a third ball from the preservatives. I’ll probably get some kind of cancer instead.
The third ball is a tumor. But it’s benign so have at 'er.
Is frozen food as bad everywhere as it is in the US?
It’s the most nasty, chewy shit in the world here. I freeze home cooked meals and they reheat fine, so I don’t get how 99%+ of our frozen food is so disgusting.
“Everywhere” does not eat frozen food. Americans need to travel to other countries and stay there at least 2 months, upon return, you will realize just how sick and malnourished the US is, outside of large metro areas.
Look at the ingredients. A lot of these frozen burgers n shit have TVP, textured vegetable protein, to fill out the food instead of meat, pumped full of water so it freezes solid and thus steams TF out of it and becomes soggy, plus epic amounts of additives and preservatives. If all frozen foods were genuine home-cooked quality meals, they wouldn’t last as long and would cost 10x as much so they can turn huge profit margins
And salt, lots of salt. And high-fructose corn syrup.
The 3rd ball was a tumor folks. Nothing to see here.
I miss these… Nobody near me sells them since I moved. Walmart used to have their own knock-offs that were just as good (a little smaller but also like $2 cheaper) but they don’t anymore.
Sometimes I just want a cheap, quick microwave burger or chicken sandwich, but I still want it to taste decent. These are just that. The actual worst burgers are what Sysco sells to schools and what gas stations have near the hotdogs.
Its crazy that this is the picture they chose to represent their product. That’s as good as it gets.“Aspect ratio for this photo is 4:3”
“You got it, boss”
This is basically no different than the burger you get at Applebee’s, other than they have the sense to toast the buns.
i wonder how often the ceo and board members of companies like conagra ‘eat their own dog food’.
just a hunch, but i’m guessing that’s never.
Steamed Hams!
Steamed? These are clearly grilled. Kind of like the Krusty burgers down the street.
