My wife works evenings, so sometimes I eat frozen dinners. I like the Red Baron Singles Deep Dish Pizzas. What I don't like is the instructions on how to make them. They are stuck on the end of the box in small letters, which means I have to go get my glasses in order to shove the damn thing in the microwave! The box has Red Baron plastered all over it, but you have go on safari to find the cooking instructions! Some Red Baron marketing punk should be fired. Or, better yet, fire the CEO who does not know his own product! Think about it, what kind of problems are senior citizens having with this kind of packaging? Don't get me started on the disabled.

Stouffer's on the other hand has a big number like "7" for the number of microwave cooking minutes. Stouffer's has instructions

ON THE BACK OF THE BOX

that you can see without glasses. All you need is the time and temperature. Thank you Stouffers for reaching out to those with weak eyes, seniors, and the disabled. So, when I am standing at the freezer door at home without my glasses ready to grab a frozen box, which one do you think I take? Easy read Stouffer's, or the one made by stupid people?

:lmao2: :lmao2: Good one. Have you thought of voicing your complaints to the manufactures of the products you have trouble with? If you haven't, do so, and mention how great their competitors products are. I'm sure they'll love that.:D

You know in Washington, there is always a lot of talk. Things change when you have an activist president. More than anything else, President Barack is a great listener. After ObamaCare passes even the little things can be made better.

Binky, have you got a product beef to share?

I'll have to ponder on it.....trash bags and alum. foil come to mind. I hate it when I go to pull out a trash bag to tear it off at the perforated seam, and go figure, it rips and ruins the bag. Or on some brands of alum. foil, it takes on a life of its own an tears off diagonally, when I'm trying to get it to rip off at the blade.....Grrrr. And everytime hence, the pieces just get smaller and smaller.......:banghead:
