For the record, the phrase is "Don't know why they call this hamburger helper. It does just fine by itself."

You got ripped off on the corn :) but on the positive side, you reminded me how yummy Hamburger Helper actually is. Brings back all those memories from poor college days....
I want it known that I could have just not included the corn, but I put it on there...with the actual price.
I do think I am going back to the store and check on this price though!! WOW!
You know - I used to work on Hamburger Helper back in my MN days. I have eaten way more of it than I'd think humanly possible, but there were some scientists that spent their ENTIRE career on Helpers. As in ate it multiple times a day for 20 years. I had to eat it almost daily when pregnant with Little Mister which is pretty much torture to a pregnant woman. Especially when you have to eat it at 9:00 am. Ugh.
Too funny! Yep, I'd hate for you to really wow us in the first week, so pace yourself! I think I have subconsciously removed hamburger helper from my memory (until now) ... I overdosed on the stuff as a kid and in college and can't seem to eat it anymore. I feel a little guilty now that I'm denying my little girl this great childhood experience of hamburger helper. Maybe I need to give it another shot!
