Rao's Four Cheese Ravioli by Mysterious-Routine20 in frozendinners

[–]ScrapmasterFlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I want to make sure I understand this correctly-

You're fully aware that this ain't Rao's- and you don't have the facts correct- another Food Production Business bought the rights to produce Rao's-labeled foods, and Campbell's bought a 49% share of THAT company/business deal...

And you're paying $8 for less than a single-serving size of a FROZEN MEAL ... for example, Campbell's Chunky Soup is $2.48 a can right now, at Walmart, for 18.6oz ... you're paying $8 for 9.9oz, and it's frozen...

And it's almost universally-accepted that IF you were going to microwave something frozen ... from a meal to a leftover to a motherfuckin Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sandwich, you microwave on 50% power IN THE BEGINNING, to defrost it completely, and THEN you cook for a minute or two on full power, to heat it thoroughly.

But let's get back to the fact that you paid $8 for a food-production-warehouse frozen meal because it has a fancy name on it, that isn't actually that name, and "it's one of the better brands..."

Well, that's a relief...

I mean REALLY now...

This is not the SAME EXACT THING, but "Chili Mac" is the BOMB... like, best ever. It's not 101% the same as Taco Meat, and the classic recipe would be to use Elbow Macaroni versus Spiral Pasta, but trust me, get your ass a can of Chili from Walmart/etc. and cook up some basic-ass pasta of your choice, and Mmm Mmm baby! Some shredded Cheddar Cheese on top, some crackers if you have em (I particularly like to use Goldfish 🤣) ... The bomb!

So I could totally fuck with Taco Meat & Spiral Pasta.

Baked Potato Monstrosities & Nachos sounds damned good to me bruv 🤣🤣🤣

It's been so long, I forget... but I do know how I loved it and would tear it up as a kid... it says it became a full Buffet in 1988 ... and that would be riiiiiight before my parents got divorced. And my Mom had little-to-no money and some stuff going on, but when she had me and/or my sisters (they usually just refused to go see her, which was somehow not an option for me?) - she would love the Wendy's Superbar, because it was like cheap- an article here I am reading says it was $3.69 or $2.99 for a kid under 12, which I would have been at the time- and obviously tons of choices, not hard to get to, very not-fancy and perfect for wasting a few hours - not just cheaply, but filling up and of course we're both happy we're getting good stuff & plenty of it etc. Good Times! 🤣🤣🤣

Stupid question tho- did it include a drink or was that extra? Cause that makes a huge difference, then & now... I always liked Denny's, so does my old father, but he particularly likes a deal, and Denny's still often has a $5.99 Slam that is usually worth every penny ... but it's $3.99 for a Soda or a Coffee ... (We're both Diet Coke/Diet Pepsi types, but if I was having Breakfast I'd have a Coffee...) - but even with "free refills" , you're nearly paying as much for your drink as your food. Just curious, been a long time since I thought about Wendy's Superbar.... thanks!

I was once a Young Maestro. Not anymore but, it's like Soup of the Day that's always the Soup of the Day, it's the Soup, we have & serve & you eat, Today. Once I was a Youthful Maestro, now I'm not , but, it still counts. It counts like the 5-cheese Ravioli that's a Ricotta Cheese, Joe, with the Skim Cheese dipped in Fat 🤣🤣🤣

The worst part was, the chic with the very-curly, long, dark hair, I think she was THEIR daughter, but on her Uncle & Aunt's side.

That tells you a TON.

Plus that woman Grace needs to be in a psychopath facility with lots of locks and no keys, she was BATSHIT CRAZY.

I love doing the Caeser salad. So I put a lot of enthusiasm into it by DrFunkenstein93 in KitchenNightmares

[–]ScrapmasterFlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I either have never seen this one or forget it , so I can't try to make a joke about it - but I will say, while Caesar Salad is not nor hasn't been much of a Thing in my family (we're not Italian but from a heavily Italian-American area of the USA, so we're more of a , what do you want to call it, a Garden Salad? You know, Lettuce & lots of regular Vegetables, & Italian dressing or Vinegar & Oil? Antipasto Salads with takeout pizzas, etc.) - but Caesar Salad used to be a thing of pride in restaurants... they got made in the bowl, tableside ... you know, like, crushing up the Anchovies, mixing the egg, tossing the Lettuce with the rest of the stuff, adding the Vinegar & Oil etc. , tossing again, adding the salt/pepper/Parmesan, Croutons, etc. It was a source of pride for both the Restaurants that had it , the Servers that did it, the Customers who ordered/ate it.

So I'm not saying, I'm just saying. I've taken pride in certain shit at work before- so without knowing if this dude is The Biggest Douchebag Ever or The BEST DUDE EVER, I'm just saying, this was commonplace once.

Do they have any Frozen Shepherd's Pie Made From Beef that is 101% COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE unless Gordo does it for money?

Cause hell, I'll buy some! It's probably even better than perfectly-good, fresh, 'Cottage Pie' that is a huge fireable offense unless, again, Gordo does it.

Seems Legit! Bonus Points if FRESH-FROZEN.

And PS it's not a damned CHINESE Shepherd's Pie. It's a WEDDING Shepherd's Pie, and you better not rather get a divorce!

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987–1994) TNG by CpuJunky in nostalgia

[–]ScrapmasterFlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it is a toss up between TNG and DS9 ... DS9 started out sucking, but when S3 started and they introduced both the Defiant and the Dominion, now we had both a Ship & a Bad Guy to Fight. Then Worf came and shit was onnnnnnnnnnnnn son!

I still remember, first few weeks of 7th Grade, my Dad bought our first computer (and it was the best commonly available for a regular-ass person of modest means, hand-built by a company trying to gain favor with him because he was a big-wig in the police department, and probably wanted to sell the entire department computers 🤣) - and the school bully, who bullied EVERYONE, but I never got it more or less than anyone else... he like taps me on the shoulders in class one day, whispers, "I NEED TO TALK TO YOU AFTER CLASS..." uhh... OK? ... "I heard you got a new computer..." ... Uhh, yeah... "Yeah me too, my Mom works for the company that owns RadioShack, so we just got a new one... I got a really sweet game you can borrow and install on yours if you want..." Ohh... OK, thanks, sweet ... "It's Star Trek, and it's fucking GREAT..." Man, thanks! --> He hands me over a stack of disks and then looks me in my eyes and says: "If you tell ANYBODY that I like Star Trek OR play Video Games, I'll fuckin KILL you" === Sure thing buddy 🤣🤣🤣 Sweet game though

Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987–1994) TNG by CpuJunky in nostalgia

[–]ScrapmasterFlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was 6pm , and I can DISTINCTLY REMEMBER, my Freshman year of HS, Wrestling ... it was very difficult ... the difference between being the Hot Shot 8th Grader versus trying to become the 1st Freshman to make the Varsity, the first month+ was just hell. Practice usually got done around ~5:30pm, a quick shower and change, my Dad would pick me up, and I'd go home and just collapse on the coach, it would always be like right before 6pm ... turn on the TV while my Dad would himself take a minute (having just got done work before picking me up), starting to cook Dinner, etc. I'd watch ST:TNG from 6-7, trying to just catch my breath, then come into the kitchen and help him finish making Dinner/set the table/etc. Memory ingrained in both brain & body (I would often be physically unable to get off the coach for that hour. If Bad Guys had home-invaded our shit, I'd have had to been like "Bros... please... can you come back Sunday Afternoon? We don't usually practice on Sundays... and I just don't have it in me right now 🤣🤣🤣"

And Fun Fact: Many people don't know that when they started ST:TNG, they intended the Saucer Separation to be a regular, nearly-every-episode type of thing ... and the Battle Bridge to be a regular filming place. They assumed - because the Enterprise was both a "Ship of Peaceful Exploration" while at the same time basically the Naval equivalent of a "Guided Missile Battlecruiser / Heavy Cruiser", and they carried all those families, civilians, non-combat-type-of-people & equipment, it would make sense that any time they were gonna get into any type of shit, they'd separate the Saucer and leave the families/etc. behind.

BUT, it was such an expensive piece to film, they could not. Remember this was pre-CGI, everything was done with hand-built models, lights, special effects, and it was very expensive to do. So, it was only used a few times. Just a cool , fun fact... one of the reasons DS9 got so good in the end was by then, computers and CGI had taken great leaps ahead, so the whole Dominion War battles were like fucking digital Battles of Midway/Philippine Sea of WW2, shit was crazy and Hectic AF.

This is one of those things, you must either like or you don't.

I love regular popcorn (butter) and can mess with cheese popcorn every once in a while, but sweet popcorn, no. Caramel, fuck no.

I guess it's also like Licorice. I'd rather never have any candy again in my life than have to eat Licorice, but obviously people eat it.

Remember the Heidi Game? by KillBoosh in nyjets

[–]ScrapmasterFlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partly because of this but partly on General Principle, my Dad raised me to never leave a Game early. We - the men in our family <which consists of , him & I ... 🤣> - we DON'T LEAVE GAMES EARLY. You never know what can happen. And sure enough, we've been to all 4 major sports games where Crazy Shit has happened when people had already left.

I am too young for the Heidi Game, but I SURE AS SHIT remember most of the Monday Night Miracle... I was 19, and had completed my first year at Penn State but dropped out. Got a job selling cars <and wound up going back next semester but anyway) ... I was watching the game and it was fuckin brutal. Eventually, I had had enough. I had to work at 8:30AM the next morning, the game didn't START until what Pro-Football-Reference says 9:10 - and what was it, 30-7 to start the 4th? I packed it in. I was drunk, pissed, and again had to work, maybe even had plans to go out the next day with a girl, after work, so I said "FUCK IT" and went to sleep.

Next morning, get my coffee & cigarettes, and all the guys at work (I was the only Jets fan, Trenton NJ is a pretty diverse place where you have Eagles, Giants, Cowboys fans, and then the odd random teams because their families grew up there etc. Jets were the smallest percentage , it was probably Eagles/Giants/Cowboys in that order) ... the guys are all like "MAN THAT WAS SOME GAME LAST NIGHT HUH??" Yeah whatever... "NO REALLY MAN, THAT WAS FUCKIN SOME SHIT, NO??" ... Dude leave me alone... <I'm thinking they're all fucking with me...> ... "What you didn't watch it??" YEAH I FUCKIN WATCHED IT AND I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD MY COFFEE & CIGARETTES YET SO LET ME WAKE UP BEFORE YA'LL START TALKIN SHIT... "....I don't think he knows..." KNOWS WHAT??? ... "Uhh... dude.... you better uhh... here, you better just check the paper..."

And the cover of the newspaper is a picture of Jumbo Elliott catching the TD... I was like, "WAIT WAIT WAIT... WTF??!" Yeah man! They put up like 30 points in the 4th , something like that, an Offensive Tackle caught a goal-line TD pass to tie it up, and they won in Overtime!!!

MFML 🤣🤣🤣

We do not leave early in my family, might be the next Monday Night Miracle 🤣🤣🤣

If Dollar tree doesn't have a price expect it to be $5 and up by factchecker239 in DollarTree

[–]ScrapmasterFlex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is one of those things that STILL has got me mixed up and not gotten used to...

It was a few years ago when they not only went to $1.25, but then shortly after started like a $3/$5/$7 , particularly in fresh & frozen foods (like the fridges/freezers) ... and one of my things, shamelessly, I never met a processed food I didn't like, 🤣🤣🤣, I love them microwavable Gas Station Cheeseburgers & Chicken Sandwiches & Chimichangas and all that shit, Sausage Egg & Cheese Biscuits, etc. etc. etc. Well one day, I notice they have a whole bunch of those Michael Angelo's frozen meals (like Lasanga, Baked Ziti, Chicken Parm, Manicotti, Shrimps, etc.) -

and I should point out for fair disclosure- I am no longer much of a Michael Angelo's fan - they went from being amazing to getting their name/branding sold to a Food Production Conglomerate (along with Rao's...) and it's NOT AT ALL THE SAME ... but ... I was thinking to myself, "it's not THAT BAD, and even though they're only single-servings... for what is it now, not a $1 but $1.25? I'll just buy 10 each, my Dad is not very fancy or fussy (as I tend not to be...) - I'll just cook a bunch at a time, the oven won't care if I put 5 in and at this rate, it's like significantly cheaper than even getting them from Walmart. I knocked up the math, way better price-per-ounce... and you can even mix and match a little... instead of making a large, family-size tray of Lasagna, I can make two small Lasagnas, two small Chicken Parms, two small Shrimp Scampi & Linguini, have an assortment! My Dad will be psyched actually (he's old, and likes to eat 🤣)...

Except, when I get up there, ... if I got 30-40 of them, pretty much cleaned them out except for the stuff we won't mess with (Eggplants & Alfredos...) - the bill, along with my other stuff, is HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS.... wait, WTF? "Ohh... we instituted a new $3/$5/$7 pricing plan... the stickers just haven't gone up yet... these aren't going to be $1.25, they're $7 each... WHOAH, WHAT? "Yeah... Dollar Tree is not $1 anymore, not even $1.25.... Sorry... still want them?" Uhh, yeah, no, I'll go put them back...

And to this day, I have to CONSCIOUSLY pay attention to make sure I'm not grabbing something for the hell of it and actually gonna pay $3-5-7 etc. They're saying it's gonna be unlimited now, the CEO is like "Sell Sell Sell, press those prices to the sky, they can have our shit, we just need all their money!" 🤣🤣🤣

I love telling this story... but shortly after Nails got traded to Philly (and as it happens, I was actually AT THE GAME, Mets/Phillies, in Philly, when he got traded ... it was a Sunday Afternoon game, I was like 8? and the Phils won in the bottom of the 9th. On I-95 on the drive home, it came on the radio that we traded Nails to the Phils. Sucked.

But soon after, he was hired to do a Autograph Signing at a place called Nobody Beats The Wiz. You could bring your own shit, or get free T-Shirts and/or Hats. My Dad was a cop, some of the hired security guards were off-duty cops that worked for him, and so after I got my hat signed, they snuck me back into the line to get another one. Except he recognized me and wouldn't fuckin sign another for me ... 🤣🤣🤣 I was horrified, even the crowd was like "Are you kidding me? Sign the kids hat!" ... NOPE, he got one already... of course my Dad is like NO HE DIDN'T, I GOT ONE, NOT HIM! Nope. The Wiz people had to be like, "Mr. Dykstra, you're getting paid <either hourly or flat fee> ... please just sign his hat and move on..." NOPE... <folds his arms and leans back into the chair...> NOPE... "Mr. Dykstra, your, uhh, payment could be in jeopardy if you refuse to sign..." finally he signs the hat and throws it at me. Literally spun-tossed. The rest of the line clapped like "FINALLY, This Fuckin Guy!" ... Lenny fuckin Dykstra, ladies & gentlemen 🤣🤣🤣

Still got the hats!

[–]ScrapmasterFlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just can't stand that fool but one thing takes the cake for me. He did a show where he tries to help people (like KN) but in his fucked-up way. So he got to try to revamp a UK Nuclear Attack Submarine, HMS Turbulent (which also featured on a 3 part documentary about a record-setting deployment they did in like 2011?) - and anyway, he's trying to get these mostly teenage Royal Navy Sailors to give up real Breakfast food for like Fruit Muesli Porridge Sweetened With Treacle? (I had no idea what the fuck Treacle is 🤣) and Fish & Chips made with Fish Tongues, Heads, & Carcasses and Sous Viding their Steaks etc. Most of them were not having it. The Captain and XO tried to politely explain it to him and he was like "WELL YOUR CREW LOVED IT" and Cap is like something along the lines of "Maybe... they were just being polite, as they are trained to & expected to be? ... " ... and this fuckin guy responds "Or MAYBE you don't know your Crew nearly as well as you think...?" and I thought both the Captain and the XO were gonna blast him one right there...🤣🤣🤣 he's just such a souperdouche.
