    Now I know why every recipe includes steps like, “remove from packaging”.

      At my work we used to sell ramen bowls, where all the ingredients were individually wrapped inside a plastic bowl and all you had to do was open everything up, put it all in the bowl, and add hot water. Well, the prep instructions never mentioned removing everything from its individual packaging, and I had a customer complain about it. He said we really need to add “remove ingredients from their packaging” at the start because his son is cooking on his own now and is too stupid to figure it out, and would try adding boiling water to the plastic wrapped ingredients.

        Americans are why the world has warning labels like “Caution, product will be hot after removing from oven”

          That stereotype originates from propaganda from McDonald’s in order to discredit the woman who had the skin of her labia melted to the point where it fused together when she spilled her coffee in her lap.

          Not that we’re not dumb (case in point, anything that’s happened basically anytime ever), but fuck corporate propaganda and fuck McDonald’s for trying to smear a woman who only wanted them to pay for her medical bills.
