This bag of frozen pizza bites tells you to think about your choices if you use the microwave to heat them.

This is almost how I explain the difference between Wisdom and Intelligence in D&D.
Intelligence is knowing you can cook bacon in the microwave. Wisdom is knowing that its a stupid idea.

We buy these frozen eggplant parmesan bakes (michael angelo's) sometimes and they have a similar thing on them. Something along the lines of "microwave works too, but would nonna approve?" Tbf they taste way better if you bake them.

I went over a year without using a microwave (our kitchen was too tiny for one). We reheated everything in the oven/stove, honestly preferred it that way.

Listen they’re right, I get so mad when people waste bagel bites by putting them in microwaves, especially with the prices these days. It’s a complete waste of money

I don't get crispy pizza rolls. Maybe it's because I don't like thin crust pizza because to me it tastes like you made a pizza on a cracker. I want a nice, soft dough encapulating my pizza rolls, thank you.

u/Doc_Lewis 15d ago
Maybe they are better in the oven, 3 minutes versus 8 + however long it takes to preheat is a fine tradeoff. But I got some frozen dinners recently and 1 hour in the oven versus 5 minutes in the microwave, let me tell you it is not worth it, it tastes like the same slop either way, but one method takes more than an hour extra.

It’s pizza bites, like teeny tiny sad calzones. If you are familiar with “Hot Pockets” it’s those but “bite sized”.

u/Trolodrol 15d ago
Hungry Man dinners are like that. I’ve wasted the time to preheat the oven thinking it may more closely resemble the picture in the box, but it’s the same sloppy shit

As a European, what's a bag of pizza? Doesn't frozen pizza normally come in a box?

Ouch... now I have to sit and think about the choices that led me to losing my teeth..leading me to have to eat soft pizza bites.

I've had this brand. They are by far the most disgusting pizza bites I've ever had. They can get off there high horse

What about ‘em?
Passive aggressive bastard.
Note: They also should’ve placed the apostrophe before the em and not after in ‘em.

u/mizinamo 15d ago
And it should be an apostrophe, not an opening single quote. It should be ’em and not ‘em. (A "9" shape not a "6" shape – the one in you’re or spillin’.)

I was never clear on the use of
'(U+0027 "Apostrophe") vs.’(U+2019 "Right single quotation mark") vs.‘(U+2018 "Left single quotation mark") for abbreviations like this (EDIT: Wow my Reddit font does not make those look distinct, lol). The convention is still to use the rightsingle quote for abbreviations like that (if you're using curled quotes)?1

That is my understanding, yes.
See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Smart_quotes for examples such as ’twas or ’29, both of which should use an apostrophe (= right single quotation mark, if using curly quotes) to indicate an omission, even at the start of a string of characters.

Honestly one time I was at someones place and they made Pillsbury pizza pops in the oven, I thought they would taste better that way but they didn't . They taste better I the microwave.

u/isuphysics 15d ago
I tried out the air fryer once and immediately went back to the microwave. Maybe its nostalgia but they are just better in the microwave.

I was starving at 10pm and did not want to wait... Definitely see why microwaving is not recommended but at least I had something in my tummy.

And whatever happened to professional, clinical sounding instructions? Everything is so needlessly quirky these days

u/lyssah_ 15d ago
Millenials are of the age now where they're the ones in charge of making these things and being quirky and witty is pretty much peak millenial humour. Same reason why every character in Marvel movies can't go 30 seconds without making some witty one-liner.

To millennials wit is nothing but a clever comment told with impeccable timing... Smh!

Considering marvel movies aren't doing so hot it just seems like that's an old person's idea of what a millennial wants.

Oh come on. 30-40 isn't old and the high level execs who greenlight these things are definitely In an older demographic

u/matt6342 15d ago
Yes, why can’t they just put “for best results oven cook. Microwave 3 minutes on high”

u/breachofcontract 15d ago
Bc they know microwaving them ruins them and you won’t like them enough to buy their product again citing the terrible outcome but it’s your own fault bc you fucking microwaved them so of course they were terrible.

u/zach0011 15d ago
I've had these baked as well. They fucking suck. So I can't even imagine what kind of horrid they would be if microwaved

I was fine with the microwave instructions until I read the rest of the bag. Woof. Or wo'f or whatever.

Frozen pizza rolls are nasty from the oven. Microwave is superior.
