Subway FTW

Blogger at 'Grocery Eats' doesn't think highly of Packaged Sandwiches. (NSFW language)
This post was deleted for the following reason: This is kinda weak for post material. -- cortex
Is this one of those instances where it's appropriate to say the lady doth protest too much, methinks?

It's a frozen sandwich. They can't hurt you if you don't buy them. I don't think your local organic, home grown artisan cheese sandwich shop is going to be sweating this competition.

If you put them in the conventional oven, the bread isn't soggy.

I don't mind NSFW language, and I use plenty of it myself, but this trend of peppering a poorly written article\blog\whatever with tons of f-bombs is getting old. What the fuck should I make for dinner, the fucking weather, fucking boom school, etc - no more, please.

Yeah I think more people need to realize that over-the-top expletive-laden invective is a well that can quickly run dry if that's your only source for humor. It's also possible to do poorly.

I'm not bothered by the colorful language, but it would be nice if the poster had actually opened one up, took some pictures, talked about how it tasted, and maybe documented how easy it was to build an equivalent yet measurably (?) more tasty version. It would also be interesting to see the price break-down between buying the boxed version and the raw ingredients to build your own.

I was going to say something else, then I clicked on gurple's link and I need to go lie down now. Like for thirty years or until the Cylons come or something.

I did a series like this a few years ago with items from the refrigerated vending machine which was in the basement of the building I worked in. (Sorry that the archive page looks like shit...)

I don't understand what a peanut butter slice is - is it a piece of bread with peanut butter already on it, or a slice of peanut butter?

Sweet gravy-guzzling christ, gurple! "P.B. Slices makes peanut butter easy to eat"? About. Fucking. Time.
Wow. I never thought I'd find a topping worthy of slathering all over my Jimmy Dean Chocolate Chip Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick. Looks like truly misunderestimated American consumer culture on that front.

The product is intended for people at office jobs who don't have easy access to a toaster and lots of fixings. It gets the job done and that's all the demographic is asking for.

Having eaten these toasted bits of cardboard myself, I find the reference to murder, madness and mayhem quite apropos.
Please note, however, that they are more nutritious than the box, and it is inhumane to test the theory that they might not be.

"Hey, dickweed, you had to write -- I mean shit out, you unoriginal numbnuts -- this overblown goddamn bullshit that would only seem clever to some sheltered college freshman -- why? Because the tiresome asswipes at The Onion haven't fucking already puked out enough completely douchey parody articles like this five-freakin-hundred times already, for fuck's sake? Thanks for flushing three minutes of my day down your bloggy toilet, you sad little weenus."

One of the comments on that article alerted me to the existence of Peanut Butter Slices.
This reminds me of my previous attempt to manufacture cream cheese singles. (Finished product. Future version would likely include a hole cut out of the middle to correspond to the hole in the bagel.)
I'm curious about the hate for the Peanut Butter Slices and what that might portend for my invention if I ever take it to market. (No, I will not actually every be producing cream cheese singles.) Is the objection about the laziness inherent to such a product? The waste? That the Peanut Butter Slices have a bunch of other crap mixed in with them? (Because my cream cheese singles were just cream cheese flattened with a rolling pin.) Anyway, I'm curious about the hate.

On preview, roomthreeseventeen, it's a preformed slice of motherfucking peanut butter, yo. Like one of those punk-ass Kraft singles, only made of peanut-flavoured partially hydrogenated corn byproducts. Dunno what kind of sloth-ass life you lead, but in my fuck-yeah on-the-go lifestyle, I can't be wasting time carving that shit out of the jar with a knife. I got thrizzles to attend to.
