samgurt · 03-14-12, 07:16 PM

k13 · 03-14-12, 07:18 PM

But damn, I'm not an oinker at 162 lbs (winter weight, that will drop)

It's not enough food for a hungry man!

I don't know what it cost. That's not the point. Advertising Hungry-man implies that after you eat it you will no longer be hungry, you will be full.

Lies!!

I just buy a family pack of chicken or 4 lbs of beef to take care of that. I'm only ~170ish too

Lies in the food industry? I see a beautifully put together burger on TV from Wendy's, but then if I go pick one up, it is 1/3rd the size, smashed, and it looks like whoever put it together was blind....

K13, when I'm eating alone a large pizza is ordered. Usually a couple slices leftover for snack the next day. Medium isn't enough. Guess we don't have to weigh 300 to have a big appetite.

Yeah that's a farce. A pro puts the tv burger together, perfectionism all the way. We get what the hurried minimum wage workers throw in the bag

they need more sodium.

Thanks for that, just looked at the nutrition facts on the back of the package. Brutal sodium content

I agree those things are soo small. For the price of them, one should get a meal, not a snack. Hell one is better off buying a few pot pies.

InTheDrink · 03-14-12, 09:28 PM

pics or stfu

byronbb · 03-14-12, 09:57 PM

Heh loved those working nights. Would pick them up when on sale. For dinner in a box they are surprisingly good.

sickler · 03-14-12, 10:01 PM

Drink, the exact one I chowed down on tonight. Doesn't it look tasty?

paranoyd androyd · 03-14-12, 10:08 PM

did you allow 20 min after eating it before posting this thread? that's the approx. time it takes for your food to settle before knowing whether you're still truly hungry.

MatI · 03-14-12, 10:18 PM

That looks disgusting.

milwaukee mike · 03-14-12, 10:18 PM

Don't know, I hadn't eaten one of these in at least five years.

Ernie Mccracken · 03-14-12, 10:29 PM

Have some self respect. Cripes.

MatI · 03-14-12, 10:31 PM

You guys actually like this stuff? TV deals are seriously bad for you, the amount of fat and sodium in these meals is insane. It's a fast track to major health issues if you have this stuff on a regular basis.

You need to get a cook book.

Agreed, not good for the health check. Won't be on the grocery list, I won't look in that section at the store to be tempted by the succulent turkey slices on the package.

The corn was good, best part of the meal

I recommend the fresh food section. it's really not too hard to whip up something yourself which is healthy and would taste shirtloads better.

Processed foods are bad... mmmkay.

I know. Laziness got the best of me. Toss the dinner in the microwave, return when it beeps and dinner is served. Too convenient

hungry man much better then those banquet tv dinners

starfire · 03-14-12, 10:51 PM

It was on sale.

WvGambler · 03-14-12, 10:56 PM

Why not just eat 4-5 hot pockets and then drink some antifreeze.

thechaoz · 03-14-12, 11:09 PM

Bout a weekly amount of fat in one of those

Is that food or did you take a dump on a plate. Disgusting.

LOL I almost started a thread on here last year after a friend of a friend did a thing comparing the two.

A few pics (and the intro blurb)

"So I went to some fast food places (I won't say restaurants, just places) and picked up burgers & tacos so I could compare them with the ads. I brought the "food" home (different stuff over 3 nights), tossed it into my photography studio and did some ad-style shoots (with pics of the official ads on my computer next to me so I could match the lighting, angles, etc.)

The Whopper kills me
