My expectations were already low based on the box’s physical size, but it still somehow managed to not even meet that

The real term here is : Family size but you’re divorced and it’s not the week the kids are with you
Family of mice
But it has more cheese
I’m afraid to ask how little it had before, because the amount i see are rookie numbers.
It’s got what families crave.
That’s what I’m saying! One more tooth with experience the delight of biting into food. I don’t see what’s wrong. 🤷♂️
“Family Size” has no meaning anymore
Never did.
It means more calories than we can justify for a meal in a 2000 calorie day.
“Family size” simply means “can serve an entire family”. It doesn’t mean “Can stuff 4 American bellies full”. It’s hard to judge the size of the box in your photo, but I can see serving one of those enchiladas per family member, along with pasta and salad or something.
Enchilada and pasta. GTFO
Then OP goes and suggests mac and cheese as a side for it, that’s many levels worse.
Like poutine and tamales.
I’d fuck with tamale poutine.
I can’t even.
Brits don’t eat as much as Americans do because all their food is shit
Naw, they have lots of good takeaway stuff. Hell, I’d almost kill for a decent fish-n-chips near me. Then they have those Indian takeaways… tandori? IDK now to spell it. Currys… hell yeah.
I imagine the Mexican food is shit and that’s probably 50% of my diet at this point.
You do realize this is to enchilada what Papa John’s is to pizza right?
Cool, serve some Great Value alfredo and peas next to it.
Fair point, but here frozen family meals in the past would have at least satisfied everyone at the table without any sides and if you wanted to go from satisfied to “stuffed full” then you could whip up a quick side of Mac and cheese or something
I’m old and I don’t think that’s true. Frozen entrees have ways been on the light side. And frozen dinners for one would be 3 oz of meat, and a couple of spoonfuls of boiled peas or something.
Your 'Murican is showing, very clearly. Mac and cheese as a side to chicken enchiladas? How do you not realise the obesity mental illness level that is?
Well okay, maybe I wasn’t clear. I agree with you that you certainly aren’t getting enough nourishment for an entire family - and in fact, even if you have enough food volume for an entire family, this crap wouldn’t count as nourishment anyway. And you’re probably paying this box of goopy shit dollars on the pennies it cost to make.
I was just pointing out that, like most things the agro industry puts on boxes, “family size” has no legal meaning and therefore is technically correct depending on how you interpret it.
Incidentally, another thing that means jack squat on your box of dubious food is “Now with more cheese”. If they started out with zero cheese (and no, the stuff with a cheesy taste used in ultra-processed food isn’t legally cheese) then adding a flake or two of real cheddar makes it technically possible to say “Now with more cheese”.
I wonder if it would be legal in America to print “No cyanide!” on the box to make people pick it over other stuff from the sea of frozen garbage.
I very much imagine it would be. It’s the same as when they put ‘gluten free’ on ridiculous stuff like raw meat, packaged raw vegetables, raw nuts, and the list goes on…
As someone with celiac disease, and how much stuff gluten is in (some French fries, soy sauce, tomato soup, etc), I don’t care how ridiculous it seems, I appreciate when manufacturers make it known their shit is gluten free.
Yep - grated cheese is a good example. The stuff they put in to make it not stick together can contain gluten.
We just had a case here (Denmark) where 2 companies were putting a “No PFOA” labels on their frying pans. But they’ve been told by authorities that that’s illegal, because it’s misleading advertising since PFOA is illegal in EU.
Thy got off with a warning, but in case of repeat offenses they will be fined.But USA is much different, and many “confuse the consumer” strategies do not seem to be generally illegal “over there”.
No anti-consumer anything would ever be illegal in the US. It’s a corporatocracy.
“No added sugars”
“No added salt”
“No added preservatives”
Yup, no cyanide would fit right in.
My favorite is:
“No added sugars”
“No added salt”
“No added preservatives”
It’s a bag of rice.
I recently bought buttermilk that had “no gluten” as an ingredient…
Yes. They definitely advertise rice and corn as gluten free.
Mac and cheese with “cantina style”? Throw some Texas toast in there why don’t ya, and hit dairy queen after
Point being who looks at a random meal and says “let’s fill the gaps with Mac and cheese, that’s nutritionally sounds reasoning”
Gnomes have families too
If one must emphasize that the cheso is indeed cheesy, I would be suspicious.
“Cheesy queso” is there for a very specific reason: they can’t legally put “cheese” on the box because that has a legal definition, and there must be a minimum percentage of cheese in the product for the box to legally bear the word “cheese”.
“Cheesy queso” has no legal definition. So even if the product only has 0.1% cheese in it - or no cheese at all - it’s not illegal to write “cheesy queso”.
It does say “now with more cheese” so maybe it’s 0.2% even!
“More cheese than what???”
More cheese than … not cheese.
IMHO, that orange liquid Kraftesque garbage doesn’t count as cheese anyway.
What is this? A family size for ants???
„Now with more cheese“ - so 0.1% instead of 0.09%?
Are you kidding. This is murica! Cheese is practically a waste product of our over subsidized dairy industry. Theres a reason that there’s 1.4 billion pounds of cheese in our strategic cheese reserves. Theres no reason those enchiladas couldn’t be 50% cheese product.
Yes there is: chemical cheese flavor is cheaper than cheese.
What are these, enchiladas for ants? Yes, it is. For a family of ants
There are 1200 calories in that tray. Yes, it’s a main course for a family of 3-4 people. Put the fork down, fatass.
1200 calories / 4 people is 300 calories per person. 300 calories times 3 meals per day is only 900 calories. According to the American Heart Association, that’s the recommended calorie intake for a 1 year old.
So unless your “family of 4” consists of 4 babies and no older children or adults, this is not a family size meal.
Add rice and beans. Done and done. Who expects to fill up on enchiladas alone? That’s like trying to get your 2000 calories from only eating steak.
Read the label on the package. The enchiladas are already full of rice and beans.
300 calorie main course
How’s life in 13th century Poland?
A family of 2
Presumably there would be other sides though?
Was it any good? Never had and just wondering.
“Latina Favorites” huh?
Cantina style
Could be Lantina
Could be photoshopped
(Lantina isn’t a word, that was the joke)
How do you not see that’s not an “L”? It’s curved. And you ignore a whole word, which changes the meaning and makes it clear what the actual word is.
You’re incredibly stupid.
