Instant Mashed Potatoes Are a Pointless Food
Summary
Nutrition label
63% Informative
The value proposition of a useful frozen or instant food is that it takes less time to prepare than its analogous regular food and tastes only a little worse.
The ideal meal of this type is, therefore, something like chicken nuggets.
Instant mashed potatoes are hardly saving anyone any time at all, at great cost to the consumption experience.
