Introducing MICROWAVE DELECTABLES with Geezy

As a great man once proclaimed, "Give me tasty microwave meals I can bring to work or give me death." I am confident that my fellow office workers agree on the importance of lunch in our day - it provides critical nutrients which allow us to operate at peak levels of efficiency, the mid-day break is a time to reflect on the day and bond with co-workers, and, if you choose the right lunch, you can mask the smell of the vodka you add to your coffee in order to look yourself in the mirror.

Choosing the right lunch is one of the most difficult tasks an office worker has to master. The grocery store offers a bewildering selection of delectable morsels at a variety of price points. The Man is here to help guide you, my dear reader, through the daunting world of microwave lunches.

While there are a number of important vectors that contribute to a successful microwave lunch, there's no single roadmap for making your decision. Rather than attempt to list all the possible options, I'll allow my theoretical framework reveal itself in it's application to the lunches I've been eating.

The Swanson Classics Boneless Pork...truly a classic. The makers of the first TV dinner has created a a solid addition to your frozen lunch rotation.

Pros: 

• The sweet smell of the bbq sauce will permeate the breakroom and seep into the hallway, making you the envy of all your co-workers.
  
• There's more than enough bbq sauce to eat the pork and then mix in the corn & mashed potatoes. 
• The boneless pork is actually a pressed meat loaf so you don't have to worry about chipping a tooth or having to chew too vigorously. 
  
• It melts in your mouth quite nicely.
• They've added enough salt to satisfy your RDA so you don't have to use your own - that's added value.
• On sale you can get these for $1 each.

Cons

• The novelty of the singular and consistently mushy texture of the every aspect of the meal wears off quickly, and by the end you feel like you're eating pre-chewed food.
• If you don't have anything to read during lunch, you might look too long at the boneless pork loaf. You really don't want to do that if at all possible.
• The mashed potatoes need more butter.

THE VERDICT

The Swanson Classics Boneless pork is ready to be a staple in your lunch rotation. On taste I'll give it 2 out of a possible 5  chocolate sprinkle donuts, but with the rock-bottom price of $1 per lunch (the lowest of all the microwave lunches I buy, in fact), this gets 2.5 chocolate sprinkle donuts. This can be a workhorse in your lunch rotation. Even if you don't particularly like the pressed pork loaf, you can't deny the $1 price. If there's one thing you take away from my advice, remember that you ONLY buy meals when they're on sale. Because sales change every week your forced to think outside the box & sample a veritable cornucopia  of frozen delicacies created by your favorite corporations available at your family grocer.
