AS Flyer, you know you're one of my fave FAs (long time no see btw), but you're wrong on this one.

While AS has managed to fit an impressively small amount of heavily pre-processed 'food' -- no doubt heavily subsidized for promotional purposes by the creators of the 'food' -- into a maze of plastic wrap, a packet of mystery sliced-meat byproduct, a congealed milk by-product, and sundry other by-products does not a meal make.

The six crackers contained in the box weigh slightly more than their packaging and -- when eaten slowly along with copious amounts of water -- can reduce hunger pangs to a minimum.

I want dinner. A Hot Meal(TM) made with Real Food(TM). Is this really too much to ask?
