Oh man. That's every birthday dinner I had as a kid.

We'd go to the weird pizza joint in town that served spaghetti, breadsticks, and nacho cheese in with any pizza order. If it was your birthday and you had a party there you got a whole FREE! personal pizza with unlimited toppings and tokens for the arcade in the back with 9 fully functional games. There's 15 cabinets, but none are marked so you get to guess which one works. It's never Mortal Kombat, stop trying. Some kid in your party always ate too much and puked up olive pizza in the car on the way home.

The lobby of the place had a really cool fortune teller machine like in Big. I'm afraid of things like that and screamed and passed out when my Mom made me ask him a question once. I never found out if I'm going to marry the love of my life named Rosalind.

I swear to god pizza doesn't taste right anymore if you don't wait for it to finish cooking by watching the Pole Position demo over and over and over.

Street Fighter 2! That's the one that never worked, not Mortal Kombat. I am very bad at video games and thought they were the same game until right now.

I just don't really understand what the purpose is. I guess maybe if you don't have a lot of fast food in your area and just for some bizarre reason crave the specific flavor of hamburgers?

Like a big part of the appeal of a sandwich is the convenience of not needing utensils to eat, but if you're gonna bring in a can opener, why not eat something with a fork or spoon instead of holding onto a soggy bun? Maybe get something in a microwavable bowl?

Camping/Hiking. The like. I imagine if it tastes like poo poo it might still be better than endlessly eating soup. Or expensive MREs.

I don’t think you’d be hiking around carrying cans, and if you’re just camping and can bring heavy poo poo then why not bring a cooler and grill and make real burgers

If I'm going to be backpacking for more than a couple days I usually bring some semi stable meat product, a couple cans of beer, and a tin of beans or something, and go through it the first night.

Protip: Keep a jar of the crunchy fried onions, or even better, shallots, in your pantry. They're an easy way to add flavor to almost any dish.

When I was in Primary School we used to get served these once a week and outside of being an unfortunately named amorphous blob of brown mystery meat they taste revolting. They tasted like dog food.

It's an easy way for me to go to the kitchen at 2:00 a.m. and eat a jar of fried onions.

I've done that recipe out of boredom and Emmy is a drat liar pretending it's edible food. It tastes exactly like potato chips that got boiled. There's no surprises, it just becomes wet potato chip soup. The cheese makes the potato chip grease stand out more, not less.

I still ate all of it because I don't waste food and I was grumpy the whole time.

"A hard times recipe"

Uh, potatoes are dirt cheap, and it really doesn't take much time or effort to make mashed potatoes from scratch. Not to mention instant mashed potatoes are still cheaper than a bag of Lay's, and all you do is add water.

That's the whole reason I tried it. In my head it had to be worth the extra money to use potato chips instead of just buying 10lbs of dried potatoes for pennies. But no, it's worse in every possible way.

You could probably get a similar effect by just pouring a gallon of oil into your mashed potato.

My parents moved us to a tiny mining town in BC back in the early 90s. There was a restaurant there that made the best pizza any of us had ever tasted, before or since. I don't know why this guy was working there, or how he got to make pizza so good, we were just grateful for his presence.

That little hole-in-the-wall restaurant, in a little hole-in-the-wall town, an hour's drive down gravel road from anywhere, had a SF2 machine.

I've never taken cans of anything when hiking. They're too bulky and inflexible to pack into a rucksack, and they'd keep taking up space even after you've eaten the contents.

Ramen and dried pasta'n'sauce are my staples - they're dirt cheap and they crush up well and can be wedged into a rucksack. For meat I'll sometimes bring jerky but normally I'll just go meat-free for a week and replace it with stuff that has a stupidly high amount of energy-dense sugar instead.

No loving way I'm sitting down after a long hike to crack open a can of sub-dog food meat and wet bread.

When I was backpack camping as a kid, we had "dehydrated ground beef" which I am like 90% sure was just TVP. My brother claims it was the real deal but I am a suspicious person at heart. We did have some KLIK (Canadian SPAM) but I think the tins just got put back in the wannagons so they took up some space but they're inflexible wooden boxes you carry with a leather strap on your forehead so every oz. less counts!
