There is not a chance you are over the age of 25 and don't know what hamburger helper is at all.

You might have never eaten it but no chance you don't know about it.

I know the name, I didn't know what it specifically was. The cover on the box is ambiguous as fuck.

Well bad move to downgrade patty quality when competing with In and Out, but what the fuck do I know, people here hate on the mcd's quarter pounder patties but I love em.

I have heard people say that they are dry here and never got it but then a couple weeks ago I got a Double Quarter Pounder and the patties were dry. Maybe it's because they had been in the fridge for too long or something. It's not something that I see normally, but I do know what people mean now.

Carl's Jr Diablo is probably my favorite fast food burger. But it's a real fat piece of shit type of burger. Which is fine, but I never feel great post-meal.

I also got the buff cheddar chips since I'm a fan of a good crunch. The flavor is ok, not my favorite, I feel like it's either missing something or there's too much of something, can't quite put my finger on it (I write this as I eat some).
However, the potato truly shines. Great crunch and texture. Might try to use them as vessels for other stuff as you would use crackers, and for the pieces that are too small as a breading for something that calls to be crunchy.
Agreed with this. The flavor is not quite what I expected and I'm not sure I like it or not. Probably won't purchase again. Cape cod chips are so addictive.

I usually get a triple patty at Five Guys. Macros are shit, but whatever. Cajun fries and a cherry vanilla Pibb to wash it all down.

In high school I worked at a McDonalds. When the meat is dry its because its been sitting in the "warmer" to long. They cook and store the meat for a certain time, a couple hours I believe.

So Bros, I'm still new to the Seattle area so I use Yelp a lot for food. Was out with the family and I see it says an A&W is close by. Wife and I are feeling like something new so we decide that over Wendy's.

Now now, don't get too rustled. I was craving the supposedly amazing root beer! But we get there and in its place isn't an A&W at all, but a Dairy Queen!

Took the opportunity to try out a 1/2lb flamethrower burger. Because of this thread I was not unprepared and had an idea of what to get. Was not disappointed at all, and will go back again for it. Wife enjoyed the chili cheese dog.

I have never eaten Hamburger Helper. Now I need to go and get some and try it.
When I was in the Navy we used to eat a ton of top ramen and mac and cheese with canned tuna fish mixed in. Hamburger Helper is, generally speaking, a step up from that but not much. Without the nostalgia, even a Cheeseburger Mac with well seasoned meat will probably taste like garbage.

No man youre probably good just not trying it

Don't let these people try to build it up for you, it's generally garbage
Horseshit. Done right it is the best thing ever. Although it is made better with big noodle mac and cheese, good beef but you can't use that no fat shit, and velveeta.

Fan of the Cheeseburger Mac HH here, but I always add an extra half pound of ground beef and sometimes other ingredients such as bacon or diced tomatoes.

Edit: Oh, and whole milk. None of that skim shit.
