You sound like someone who's never had plenty of other bacon infused items that sound impractical at first but surprisingly (the first few times) work - like a bacon bowl. (note: not that I can even make too much damage on a bacon bowl, but they work well and add a great smokiness to what I've had with one, it's too much bacon for me in a sitting though) Or "bacon wrapped" foods.
I used to feel that way for a very long time - had some that someone supplied for a party recently and really turned my opinion of them around. They're all franchises I think though, so good and bad ones likely exist.
Usually I don't like the placement stuff in shows but have to admit the king of the nerds one was pretty funny and effective.
I was at Target recently and I remembered this post, so I picked up a box of this mix (Archer Farms Cinnamon Bun pancake mix). I'm going to be disappointed if they aren't as good as you say.
Isn't that what you're supposed to do with frozen burgers? They always taste better when thrown on the grill still frozen.
That's the one - they're going to be kickass - just make sure you've got the secondary ingredients (they require a few) and you've got some time - they are not a "just throw it together in 5 minutes" thing. They're involved, but they're so worth it when you've got the time. [Portion is hefty for the wife and I too]
For the ones that give instructions that's generally the case - not been to Costco in a long while (closest is an hour after the move - BJs for life now) - but if they're the ones I remember they don't have instructions, so I'm sure some people default to thawing them like you'd do with fresh patties.
