I went to the grocery store this morning |
|
and saw something from the "You have GOT to be kidding" department:
Hard boiled, peeled eggs for sale $2.99 for a dozen.
:wtf: Did they think people have lost the recipe? :wtf:

2. I haven't seen that one |
|
but I have seen potatoes wrapped in plastic being sold for a buck a piece--because they're microwaveable.

3. "For busy people" seems to be the new marketing phrase at supermarkets. |
|
I'd bet you a nickel that many people have lost the recipe for hard boiled eggs, unless it was printed in the microwave manual.
One of my family members works for a large food distributor and they sell this product by the case to restaurants. Only a small leap from there to the grocery store shelves.

6. How the hell long does it take to boil an egg? |
|
I mean, really. How busy do you have to be?

9. I know but I'm not telling. |

Some people loathe any time spent preparing food if they can avoid it, and that's the niche.
