Still Hungry Man
I work construction with a 44 y.o. single Quebecois dude who definitely boozes night before/morning of, smokes tons, and rents a shitty room that he's behind rent on; yet has the energy, chattiness, and optimism of an extroverted 20 year old...and does so fueled with a microwaved Hungry Man at lunch daily.
>>21581249He's been putting enough chemicals in his body to preserve his corpse better than an MRE. Plus not having a bitch in your ear constantly probably helps with aging and moral.
>>21581249Your blog is shit, some sort of anecdotal faggotry hidden behind some wall of repressed homosexuality. I'm almost shedding a tear for you.
>>21581256Faggotry Homosexuality OP
>>21581249You seem pretty cool and we'd probably be friends.>>21581256I wouldn't talk to (you) at a party because you seem like a loser.
>>21581263I don't think you'd be invited to parties, but OK... you'd maybe force your way into one somehow. Either way it's shrug as fuck
>>21581105Haven't been worth it in 15 years.
>>21581269Id only go to your parties if you had a fridge stocked with Hungry-mans
>>21581276Um, wouldn't they be better stocked in the freezer?
>>21581249That guy's either gonna be dead in ten years or live til 103. No in between.
>Jeeves, fetch me my dinner
The Featureman eats these every single day and he's like 93.I like everything that Tom likes. no exceptions.
>>21581280What kind of host are you? Prethaw that shit they say before so you can spit them out faster than your mother can say "I hate my son".
>>21581443Imagine coming home from work and you see Willett-senpai at your table eating a cabbage salad, the aroma of whatever Kroger lunch meat was in your fridge lingering in the air, and your girl is naked and sweaty on the couch smoking a cigarette"HULLO, FOOD FAN"
>>21581443God damn you weren't kidding
>>21581105I unfortunately kinda grew up on these. I stopped buying them regularly a few years back, now I'll buy maybe 2 the whole year. This one was one of my favorites, I'd put the meat between slices of white bread and mix the corn into the potatoes. It was pretty okay.
>>21581594This one is the best one IMO. Has to be cooked in the oven though, comes out pretty tasty. When they had a larger line of products it was part of their "sports grill" line which also had a burger, quesadilla, popcorn fish, etc. Back in the day you got 5 pieces of chicken now it's 4 and the potatoes are worse.
>>21581594based latchkey kid
>>21581594That hungry-man is absolutely vile.>>21581612I remember eating this shit back in the early 2000s and it wasn't too bad.
>>21581630Why has everyone and their mother been saying that phrase lately? What ticktock video made it popular?
>>21581630Good guess, I was a latchkey kid. I walked home from school and would be home for hours before anybody else was. Time usually spent microwaving bullshit and using the family computer without the fear of anybody coming into the computer room. >>21581638I don't know if they make the bbq one anymore, I haven't seen it in years. The chicken one is the only one I still buy and it's maybe once every 6 months or so. I always walk by the HM at the grocery store to see what kinda shit they're putting out and none of it is interesting, they used to put out new shit all the time. I feel that way about the frozen food aisle a lot though, I don't ever see anything that new or interesting.
>>21581645It was a word used to describe most kids during the 60s-90s who were barely parented. It's been around for decades as a concept and piece of vocabulary.
>>21581663I love it when people hear things from 30 years ago and think it's some newfangled zoomer slang. People are fucking fried by the internet.
>>21581663I'm 40 and never heard anyone say that phrase growing up. What country are you from?
>>21581668A little place called The United States of Americahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latchkey_kid
>>21581668UK
>>21581663>>21581666Wat??? Do latchkey kids not exist in newer generations? I guess I was one too, lots of time home alone and or I would be out roaming the streets for hours with friends until whenever I felt hungry or it got too late/dark.
>>21581105I think these are why I'm so fat. It probably wasn't good for me to be eating these every night from 8-13 and not be into any sports or exercise. It literally says on the box that it's meant for big hungry men that go out and work, not little boys that play video games all day. I don't know why my mom insisted on buying them instead of shit like Kid's Cuisine.
>>21581663>>21581666I know that retards. But people haven't said it THIS often since the 90's. I've been hearing someone in person or online say it like EVERY day this last month. Probably because you zoomers saw it used in a tick tock, then you googled it, now you use it to pretend you're a millennial because everyone hates zoomers.
>>21581342>We've only these on offer, sir
>>21581682That is much more uncommon these days. I recently moved out of the south, where it was almost unheard of unless you lived in very specific areas. The area I live in now kids take public transit by themselves, they're out riding bikes, dozens of kids at the skatepark by my house, at the park, etc. I'm sure there are lots of latchkey kids still but the term isn't as common anymore and more parents are picking up their kids from school instead of walking/bus. It's become a real problem because retarded parents are lining up outside schools 1 hour+ early and it's causing issues across the country leading to needing an app to virtually get in line, maximum time you can arrive early etc. Times have changed
>>21581443>>21581568how'd the hell he age 1000 years over 1 year?
>>21581747time comes for each and every last one of us, and it comes much quicker the further you get down the line
>>21581677That was me growing up but I still never heard that phrase until just now. People were just called white trash or the N-word that gets you banned if said trashy family was black. I've never heard a specific insult for the kids. I think it's a regional thing.
>>21581708>I am omniscient
>>21581105Used to be a "fat man's" TV dinner. Now most men would drop weight like a rock if this was all they ate for dinner, a slim 700 calories.
>>21581755Just observant. Sorry for calling you out
>>21581758I figured it would be way over 700cal, closer to 1000 so I had to look it up. Turns out, less than 500 calories for the whole thing. 1450mg of sodium though lol
>>21581747I asked that about myself when I turned 30
>>21581105they're marketed as these masculine manly meals for men, but the portion size is built for a child.false advertisement.
>>21581105>19g proteinI think after you eat that shit, you'll still be hungry, man.
>>21581594>kernels of corn in the brownie.
>>21581849>>21581870Basically, but if you eat two you are ingesting the daily allowance of sodium for a horse, not to mention however much cholesterol and artificial gunk.
>>21581594>I unfortunately kinda grew up on these.same but I wasn't allowed to have "name brand" tv dinners because they were too expensive
>>21581802500 calories would have been fine if it was higher protein. I could make a 500 calorie meal with 50 grams of protein. How much do these things even cost?
>>21581758>a slim 700 caloriesMost tv dinners are 300 - 500 calories nowadays. Enjoy your overpriced slop.
>>21581105assuming you already have the seasonings, (milk and flour for the gravy) you could make 12 of these meals for less than $30. You could also use thighs instead of breasts if you like dark meat more. a case of 8 of these only costs almost $80. Anyone buying this shit is an absolute retard. I'd also suggest skipping on the breasts and buying a whole ass chicken for frying, you cut it up yourself and save a few cents per pound.
>>21581903Imagine being so autistic that microwave meals trigger you. Must be a miserable existence.
>>21582098>Specifically "homo" chomos several timesFound the straight chomo.
>>21581105The fried chicken and buffalo chicken ones are the fucking best. Definitely recommended.
>>21582098You're a bit too obsessed with the gays. You're one of those guys that hates them because you're in the closet being resentful.
>>21581754It isn’t
>>21581105pathetic-single-man-only -cash-no-chit-chat
>>21581612god i love these. i also eat the other chicken ones with the mousse or whatever (which i eat frozen)
>>21581105
>>21581747There are certain thresholds where you age much faster, while it of course varies for everyone, the ages around 55 and 85 will absolutely destroy your body
>>21581754It's not an insult you fucking retard and we had the same word over hear in Germany, it just meant you are a kid with a key and your parents get home later than you.
>>21582098Lmfao, he got humiliated so he deleted it. Fucking closeted faggots man, they're so easy to call out
>>21582733Ah, so you're all a bunch of Eurofags. That makes sense. No one used fag talk like that around here.
>>21582733Look who knows how to use Google.
>>21582856please understand, he had to submit an age verification and digitally submit his ID and birth certificate so he can use the interwebs
>>21581889like $4 or $5. a lb of 80/20 ground beef is about the same, chicken not far from that
>>21582590with mousse????? what the fuck? i have no clue what you're talking about
>>21582691never had that, but I had these a bunch back in the day. they had a couple variations of them. hashbrowns we so fucking soggy but it wasn't awful
>>21582900I remember this being pretty damn bad lol. It was something that I'd consume while drunk. I'd drown it in cheap ketchup and hot sauce since it was bland and greasy otherwise.
>>21582900>>21582691Microwavable breakfasts are the nastiest food on the planet. Always a 0/10 soggy, fake egg mess. I'd rather eat nothing.
>>21582900>>21582908I have never had themI don't think these are safe for human consumption
>>21582941The eggs taste like how stale farts smell and the hashbrown are soggy and flavorless. The sausage is bland. It's only edible if you're drunk and only if you drown it in shit like ketchup and hot sauce like I did.

>>21582904>>21582908fwiw I was living in a hotel at the time and only had a microwave to cook with

This is the best one
>>21583010It's understandable, but don't hotels have complementary breakfast? At least bagels and muffins right?
hungry man
>>21583058it never actually looks like that though
>>21583119Yay but that’s true with alot of microwavable foods
>>21583097not the kind of hotels people end up living in
>>21581443>I like everything that Tom likes. no exceptions.That includes teenage (and probably prepubescent) boys, FYI.
>>21581567>Willett-senpai>your girl is naked and sweatyHe wouldn't have naked girls anon...

>>21581105As a lifelong yuropoor I for some reason is fascinated by these. Out of everything America has to offer, TV dinners are the only thing I want to experience. I can't really explain this, I guess it's my self-destructive tendencies playing up.
>>21583156You guys don't have shitty frozen meals over there? I know that the UK has them.
>>21583166>>21583156
>>21583182Those waitrose meals look infinitely better than the frozen slop that we have in the US. I've never eaten them but I can just look at it and tell that it tastes a million times better than hungryman. I can see actual raw meat there and it isn't some mechanically separated slop. The faggots are probably better, too.
>>21583156Huh? We have exactly the same shit, for some reason it just gets zero advertisement as far as I can tell.In my country atleast you can always find these boxes where you also find canned soups and sloppa.Casserole with red cabbage and dumplings, bangers and mash, that sort of stuff in a cardboard box ready for the microwave and unreasonably expensive for the slop it is.
>>21583182That’s not a meal, dipshit.
>>21582691Honestly it's not that bad, probably better than cereal ...
>>21583216They aren't ready meals, in the classic sense: they cost £6+ without an accompanying carb and probably need 25+ minutes in the oven, instead of 5 minutes in the microwave. They are very tasty. Anything from Waitrose is. They're top quality and you do pay for it. I've spent £60 at Waitrose on a couple of meals and a few nice bits. You could spend that at Aldi and get 4 or 5 meals.
>>21583233It is if you aren't a fat fuck
>>21583269Try again, retard.
>>21583269>2 meatballs is a mealHello twink.
>>21583285>>21583281I googled it to own both your asses. I thought they were way bigger than that, y'all are right. But you're still gay, probably with each other.
>>21582897its the brownie but it doesnt really resemble a brownie if its frozen
I remember thinking these were the most amazing things ever made when I was like 10 years old.I was a very fat kid though
>>21581105>So, what's our opinion on these bad boys?I used to buy these cheap before covid, it was a bad habit and they arent that good.The price is so outlandish now, I refuse to buy any frozen meals.>>21581594This is by far the best hungry man meal.
>>21581105When I was in college I was "lucky" enough to be allowed a freezer and microwave, and every time my parents came to town, they'd buy these for me and load my freezer. I gained 50 lbs that year. (I've lost it since.)
>>21582733>it just meant you are a kid with a key and your parents get home later than you.Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen my parents use a house key in my life, nor was I ever given one.
>>21583845That was shamed 50 years ago. I read about it online. There was even a phrase for it. You must be a zoomer.
>>21583845Your family just doesn't lock the front door to your home? What shithole do you live in the middle of? I mean why would you need to lock your trailer you only head up to the piggly wiggly once or twice a month and Cletus up there ain't gonna go cause no ruckus in your trailer.
>>21584052This is some really bad cope. Sorry you live around blacks and browns I guess?
>>21581105Loved them as a child. It's soft food with powerful flavor from the sodium, MSG, and sugar. As an adult, I find most of them to be mushy and lackluster. With an Instant Pot, it's easy enough to whip up some higher quality bachelor slop in not a lot more hands on time. The tie in stuff is funny because the food doesn't look much better but costs about twice as much as the standard brand meals.
>>21584052Normal people don't lock their doors. Most doors around here aren't even sold with locks prebuilt into them.
>>21581105>hungry manchild
>>21584987These ones are so embarrassing. Who pays a markup for extremely low quality food just because it has a TV show's name on it?
>>21585132A bunch of people apparently. It's the same reason why people buy those Gordon Ramsay frozen meals and ramen even though they're dogshit. People love their brand recognition.
>>21585132I'll buy the rub when it goes on closeout sale. For some reason the grocery store here doesn't keep any brand of rub for very long, constantly discontinuing them and replacing them with other brands.
>>21581330I'd wager 103. Body full of preservatives and no stress. Stress is the real aging factor and secret killer. And by stress, I mean bad stress - the shit that makes you panic and whatnot. Not the athletics exercise stress on the muscles/body. That's the good kind.
>>21581105Potatoes in these were always shite. You could add butter to them to make them better, but still absolute garbage compared to flake. Brownies were always mug brownie quality - which is not bad, but not good either. You'd be better off with a box mix. Corn and veg were always bone dry. Needed some butter ahead of nuking to rectify that. Were below canned quality usually. The meats varied. It was always edible, but always had that weird texture that comes from being a processed patty. Sauce was always meh tier, but at least it wasn't dry. It was better than nothing or burnt food.
>>21583166That looks like the oven-ready stuff groceries carry now in the refrigerated section (to cater to singles). Those tend to be WAY higher quality than frozen TV dinners. At least for now. They also cost 2x as much. These are identical to the gold plates Wegmans has over in the US. You slap em in the oven, and dinner is done. Walmart recently rollled out something similar - while cheaper they are still WAY better than TV dinners. Especially the mash. It's real potatoes and usually butter and some seasoning. TV dinners don't do that - they use some terrible potato and have NOTHING in them.
>>21581105they make good hot open faced sandwiches
Can these be considered part of the same category? How sad is it if I make this and eat the entire thing?
>>21585653>How sad is it if I make this and eat the entire thing?depends on your bmi
>>2158567130 BMI1080 calories in that box, which shouldn't be too bad if it's the main meal of the day.
>>21581105Describes how you'll feel after you eat one
>>21585680Looks nice for some homemade McRibbed's
>>21585653fuck yeah man those were good as fuck. you get a pack of buns or sub rolls, some pickles, slice up an onion and you've got 6 poor mans mcribs. I remember getting these a couple times when my wife and i were in our 20s we were pretty broke and these were maybe $3/box. I'd cook up some pasta with them and it was a meal.
>>21581249What have you planned for pension? How much do you have saved up for retirement as of now?
>>21581126>>21581133>>21581155>>21581157>>21581161>>21581164>>21581168>>21581223>>21581225>>21581226okay okay i give in. YOU'RE ALL GETTING REDDIT GOLD.
