Follow the instructions:

Where the fuck am I supposed to put the brownie? It comes in an otherwise self-contained tray.

Why even add the fucking brownie if I have nowhere to put it?

      This is the best take.

    The first image is kinda low res, and I initially read it as:

    Remove him from the brownie. Slit him over chicken. Cook on HIGH.

      In fairness, he probably deserves it.

      I mean sure, but instructions say to remove it. Also, if you fail to do so, it becomes a molten and burned mess.

        I mean take the plastic from above the brownie, put it on the counter, then put the brownie on top of that while you stick the rest back in the microwave

          That is a good option! Just have to do the “ow my fingers are burning” dance for a bit.

            If you don’t have a utensil for subsequently eating the corn and the chicken with which to transfer the brownie, there are possibly deeper issues at play.

    I spent years where I was in a terrible depression and ate Hungry Man meals on a very regular basis. I still enjoy this one, the chicken with mashed potatoes and corn meal. I stir the corn into the mashed potatoes. The salisbury steak meal is also tasty.

    I buy these at my local bodega about twice a year, now. Most meals are home-cooked by my partner, but she allows that I sometimes just want my crappy junk food because I grew up in the midwest of the USA and that’s how we ate. This is one of those “makes me happy” foods that requires no effort.

    Disclosure: I also like SpaghettiOs

    Edit: I don’t eat the brownie. I just don’t remove it and let it overcook and char.

    I have a soft spot for hungry man dinners… I never had them often but even growing up they were probably a once every 3 months type of fast cheap meal. Tried them a few years ago and it was shockingly still the same, which I can’t say about most things 20 years later. I also love the brownie! If you use the oven it comes out fine and very crispy.

      I wish I had the luxury of time to do that consistently.

        You can just eat cans of soup or stew. You are absolutely not forced to eat these disgusting plates of shit.

          Look, I get that there are other alternatives than Hungry Man dinners…but idk that your comment is it. Imagine eating canned soup everyday. That sucks too.

            It’s extremely easy to never eat hungry man dinners. I don’t need to exhaustively describe every possible meal lol

              Look, man. I just mean that if you’re advocating for an alternative, a nearly equally shitty one isn’t necessarily the way to go lol
