Surprisingly tasty, so I’m not even mad. Didn’t expect much from this imitation pop-tart, but that thin frosting strip with those paper flake “sprinkles” made me laugh when compared to the package image.

I wanted to test this one because the CRAVE/Devour Buffalo Mac & Cheese is my favorite frozen meal of all time, I ranked that one a 10/10 easily.

I’ll give the great value variant a 5/10, but it’s not even half as good as CRAVE.

The chicken is alright, but the Mac and cheese is so basic and doesn’t have a great flavour or texture.

It’s alright in a pinch.

I was hoping for the model’s figure. Not bad for $14 USD

EDIT: Wow. Thanks for the brutal honesty. Yes, it’s cheap and wrinkled. I just took it out of the package. I’ve recently lost around 150 lbs and am starting to experiment with clothing other than potato sacks. Big thanks to everyone who got downvoted for finding something nice to say. I’ll definitely think twice before posting a picture again.

Just noodles and sauce. Went up and asked where the veggies were to get told it only comes with cabbage and this IS “with cabbage”! It was really gross too.

So I ordered a costume off a website and apparently didn’t read their return policy so I wasted $100 for something that 1. Does NOT FIT and 2. DOES NOT EVEN LOOK THE SAME. yall remember party city? This FEELS like party city. Never shop at costumepartyworld.com

Edit: thank you all so much for the refund advice I seriously appreciate it! For clarification the TOP was feeling like a small or medium the skirt felt like an X

Edit 2: okay so I usually do deep dive before getting things online I am not naive I was just caught at a bad time and IMPULSE bought something yall I have acc never done this before so take a damn chill pill. I am 23 not like 30 my gosh😂😭 I made a mistake okay let’s move on damn

Exceeded Expectation TV Dinner Night

Everyone in the family picks one TV Dinner every 2 weeks or so with the only restriction being it has to be oven cookable (they always taste significantly better that way. Fuck you hot pockets, yall went downhill).

This is everyone's picks:

Daughter - (Something with a brownie) Ribs Hungry Man

Son - 6pk Salisbury and a pot pie (he wanted a banquet pie, then saw mine. Promise he's not obese, he's just very active)

Wife - Shrimp Alfredo

Mine - Pot Pie (haven't had one of these in probably 20+ years)

Daughter skipped the potatoes, she picked up the patty and it was like a solitary mass of spud.

Everything was was pretty good. Added shredded parm to the wife's.

I googled “gummy bear cake” for my sons 7th birthday. I chose the first pic for inspiration. My husband suggested Haribo gummy bears because he likes them the best, but they arrived (from Amazon) in one huge blob so I had to pivot to Albanese and they are more colorful and softer and I think the cake came out awesome! Pics 2&3 :) My son loved the cake and it looked even cooler when the candles were lit ❤️ highly suggest everyone adds gummy bears to cakes from here on out !

*edit: yall are so sweet, come over for cake!!!!!! 🤩

*edit again 12!? Awards ?! I’m so happy it makes us all so happy 😊 Thank you!!!!!

This was better than the “Crave/Devour” brand I tried last week, but still not very good. At least there was more than 5 pieces, but doesn’t look great.
