KFC Famous Bowls are like Hungry Man dinners without the organizational skills
…I typed out of apparent whimsy a few weeks ago. Yesterday, I discovered that not only did I lump all parts of a Hungry Man’s smorgasbord together into one section, I also prepared it beside chicken meat-like-products. Not pictured: the leftover Wendy’s salt packlet I emptied in the vicinity of food-stuffs that were already 80% sodium. There’s probably more nutrition in the oven mitten. How have I survived this long?
And before you go home tonight from the grocery store trip reading this has no doubt inspired thinking that I, Quilfip Unidar Earvanbib Glinkob II can only eat two Jose Ole (great food with an accent!) brand taquitos, I should inform you that they come 15 to a box and of the items you see before you those are the only ones my sister also will eat so I hate to hog them. I can’t imagine what she finds off-putting about the rest of it.
This reminds me:
For years, in various supermarkets I’ve seen Hungry Man frozen bad dinners and Hungry Jack frozen bad breakfasts.I wondered quasi-recently, what precisely is the difference between Hungry Man and Hungry Jack? At this time I have but a theory.
Jack gets so hungry at night that he forgets his own name. He is now just a man. A hungry man. Jack has become a meat-eating beast with no identity. What does he hunger for? I don’t know what it is, but it’s inside a thin cardboard box and can stay there for years without spoiling. Jack’s affliction doesn’t… afflict me; I only eat good frozen rubbish.
I always make sure in advance that it’s at least approachable.
RSS feed for comments, for they hunger.
Sorry, the comment form is apologizing at this time.
Broom-Hilda sez:
In Australia, “Hungry Jack’s” is the alias of Burger King, as the latter name was already in use when the chain decided to expand to that continent. It’s quite horrifying, really.
Farnswallow Uplevitch sez:
Horrifying that Australia has the places or that they willingly call themselves that?
My favorite part of the story, which I just read, and for all I know is totally made up, is that when the name “Burger King” became available, Jack refused to change, being owned in reality by someone named Jack, and so, out of what I assume to be nothing but petty revenge, American Burger Kings started appearing near Hungry Jack locations, only to be court-ordered to pay ridiculous sums of money to the Hungry Jacks due to contract breaches and such. Burger King sold off its stores and they ended up being re-branded as Hungry Jacks. Ah, haaaaaa ugh.
