Blueberry actually tastes pretty good with peanut butter on it. It also makes the whole thing a little more filling.

But yes, it is the saddest food. No effort in preparation, not even a microwave or toaster if you don't want it. It's the thing you shove down your gullet when you've got ten minutes to get somewhere and haven't eaten.

Hahahahahahaha, oh fuck no. If a 16 pack of blueberry poptarts represents existential despair in your eyes, you've yet to savor all the bittersweet flavors the buffet of life will present to you. In my eyes, the saddest food one can get is a title reserved for the likes of "hungry man" (aka "face it bro, she's gone") tv dinners, the offbrand "meat products" they sell at dollar stores, and canned ham. No, not spam. Whole. Canned. Fucking ham.

i once watched my supervisor sit outside and eat cold spaghetti-os out of a can while smoking a cigarette so i think the sadness of a food item is very much contextual

It's spaghetti and meatballs, not just spaghetti.

It's only 1 monopoly dollar which in real dollars is less than 2 dollars. You can't make spaghetti and meatballs for $2 unless you buy a shit ton in bulk to spread the costs for each plate made. But if you only have $2 that won't work.

Also, you microwave it for 12 minutes which isn't the same as cooking.

No pans to take out. No pans to clean. No pans to put away.

You are down on your luck: unemployed, depressed, without family or friend to lean on. You do all your shopping at the dollar store. One day you see a sign outside the Dollar Tree: Rib-eye Steaks $1!!! You think, "I can treat myself to a steak. I can pretend I am still human." You buy the steak, hardly able to believe your luck. You take it home, tear open the package, murky liquid dripping everywhere as you gently remove the meat from the wrapper. You place the translucent strip on your hot plate and wait for it to sizzle and turn gray. And then, you dine. Later, as you empty your insides into the toilet bowl, you think to yourself, "Tonight, I shit like a king."

This is a TV dinner with traditional swedish christmas lunch sold during the holidays in most grocery stores through out Sweden.

Cooking and cleaning are two distinct verbs. He also said nothing about cost. You're setting up and attacking a strawman in place of his actual statement.

So in fact it is you who does not know "how to logic or read". You also seem really defensive about this in your posts, and you're defending a shitty frozen spaghetti meal, which would be something that only a person trying to rationalize their decision to purchase this product (instead of preparing a real meal) would do, leading to the second anon's assumption that you're "poor".
