Fast Food

I think you can tell a person’s hit rock bottom of her single life when she brings a container of leftover KFC in to work for lunch, accidentally leaves it sitting on her desk for three hours, takes a room temperature bite to make sure it’s still good (if it ever was in the first place), and then pops it in the microwave for 30 seconds – french fries and all.

Of course, this 3 Pc. Chicken Strips Meal w/2 Sides in a plastic container has had me pondering since last night when I sat down at the dining room table and took the first bite. I kept glancing over to the lid, which states “Hot & Fresh Meals,” wondering what exactly was hot or fresh about this meal. I mean, I guess it could have been fresh, but I took the liberty of assuming otherwise since it wasn’t very hot.

On the other hand, now that I’ve microwaved it, it is definitely hot. Hot and rubbery.

I think I’m going to be sick.
