So I headed to the convenience store on campus to grab a bite to eat and a drink. I learned that the &#8220;Amp&#8221; energy drinks are actually not that bad, although they&#8217;re ridiculously expensive. Sadly, my first thought when buying it was about strategic advantages in the energy drink industry. I think I&#8217;m spending too much time in classes.<\/p>\n<p>And then I saw a microwaveable chicken chimichanga. How could you go wrong? I bought it and took it back to my room to eat as I watched Game 2 of the World Series.<\/p>\n<p>Not until I unwrapped it did I notice three things wrong:<\/p>\n<ul>\n    <li>It lists &#8220;Chicken Leg Meat&#8221; on the front. This sounds pretty disgusting, but also, improbable: while I don&#8217;t spend a lot of time checking out chicken legs, <a href=\"http:\/\/media.collegepublisher.com\/media\/paper538\/stills\/2923fx8i.jpg\">they<\/a> don&#8217;t look very meaty. Ordinarily, I would be so disgusted with the mental image of munching on chicken legs that I probably wouldn&#8217;t eat it. But I was starving.<\/li>\n    <li>Content with eating chicken legs, I turned it over to find the microwaving instructions. &#8220;Heat until hot&#8221; is the least helpful instruction ever. For those who may be finding this via Google in an attempt to microwave your chimi, 2 minutes is a good starting point. But remember, 30 second intervals.<\/li>\n    <li>&#8220;Best when thawed.&#8221; ??? Maybe they mean you should thaw it before microwaving it, but it kind of sounds like they&#8217;re <em>suggesting<\/em> that you not eat it while frozen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some photos:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_mmd_0\" class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/files\/2007\/10\/img_1467.JPG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> title=&#8221;img_1467.JPG&#8221;><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/files\/2007\/10\/img_1467.thumbnail.JPG\" alt=\"img_1467.JPG\"><\/a><\/figure> <figure id=\"attachment_mmd_1\" class=\"wp-block-image alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/files\/2007\/10\/img_1464.JPG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> title=&#8221;img_1464.JPG&#8221;><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.n1zyy.com\/n1zyy\/files\/2007\/10\/img_1464.thumbnail.JPG\" alt=\"img_1464.JPG\"><\/a><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day I was feeling quite hungry and somewhat under the weather.
