It's missing the part where the instructions are literally "Boil for 5-7 minutes. Serve."

Yeah, but what if I misread it? Or i forgot how much time these noodles cook for cause the noodles I cooked yesterday took 9-10 minutes.

[–] karpintero@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yep. Everytime

Occasionally I get in the habit of putting it on the counter next to me.

Then after a few times of doing that successfully my brain says to throw it away because surely I will remember how long this time and it is back to trash can diving.

I gave up on this and just wing it now. It’s not always perfect, but it’s premade, and I just blame it on the company.

Why not just delay throwing the box away until you're finished cooking?

[–] BubbleMonkey 4 points 5 months ago

Because that’s not how it works or we wouldn’t be on this post having this chat, probably. ;)

I love how controversial this is. You really hit a nerve!

I've made enough of most boxed things, I have the instructions memorized. But I end up doing this every time I try something new.
