Dumb product of the week

[fauxklore]

I finally got around to clipping coupons and throwing out the remaining ad inserts. So I just saw the ad for Kraft's new product, Bagel-fuls. This is in the frozen food aisle and they are advertising it as "toasty warm bagel and creamy Philadelphia cream cheese all in one!"

Because, you know, it is just too hard to toast a bagel and shmear cream cheese on it yourself.

I saw that ad in Sunday's coupon bundle, too, and had much the same reaction. Bagels pre-filled with cream cheese? How lazy can you be? At what this "convenience" food probably costs (I haven't been motivated to look), just buy a knife and some dish soap instead! Sheesh.

I hesitate to speculate on the quality of the bagel, not to mention the consistency of nuked cream cheese. Bleh.

I have no doubts about the quality (or lack thereof) of the bagel. It has become harder and harder to find anything worthy of the name and pretty much all packaged products are merely bagel shaped rolls. Oddly, however, the in-store bakery at one of our local supermarkets (Wegman's) has real bagels with the proper chewy texture and all.
