TV Dinners
Before you heat them up the back of the box tells you to open up one corner and you accidentally open up the other corner is that OK?

1. please tell me you are kidding
:D
of course it's OK; it just needs a vent. You could stab it in the middle and do the same.

2. It's cold out and I had to dig a TV Dinner out of the deep freeze
I am stupid when it comes to heating things up. I thought that one corner might have needed venting because it needs to cook differently.
:pals:

6. If you do not grow one sharp claw you will not make it in the 2000's
I am worried about this, as I do not have the time and I am not sure my children are doing it either.How can I get into the food with out that claw? My family may die our for the lack of one sharp claw like finger nail. I do not dare to buy a box cutter. Ashcroft will be hear tomorrow.

8. Usually it's not a problem
Sometimes they want you to keep the dessert covered or open or something, I can't remember. But usually, it makes no difference. And even if it doesn't turn out, it won't kill you. It just won't be as fabulously delicious as the TV dinner makers intended.

Oh wait. It's a TV dinner. Never mind.

11. I hate that
You have to cut one part out and then poke a hole in another area and then take it off of another section.

It drives me crazy.:crazy:

15. I don't know. Maybe it's the whiskey.
But I have laughed out loud at this thread more than anything I've read in a long time.
I'm still going.
Ho jeez.

Thanks to all.

16. It doesn't matter. It's all the same gunk, just molded into different
shapes and colors so you will think it's different foods.

Enjoy

You can do so much worse than a T.V. dinner. Come on over, I'll put you on the Put Out Home Cookin' Diet. Those pesky pounds just melt right off. And you still have to say "um, thanks..." afterward.

27. You're at home, right? and you touched the unbaked
cookies, right? and you put them in and took them out of the oven, right? And you're already nuts, right? (OK, too easy, sorry) Then, they ARE home made. Sheesh, when will you younguns ever learn.

23. You Better Toss It Out The Window .......... ASAP.
Each TV Dinner sold in America has a implanted device that tells the "mother ship" if it was opened correctly. Looks like you bought the farm!

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

31. Cats privately own carpet cleaning companies
They just won't admit it. That's why they hack up the rust colored cat food on your rug.
