I tried a Pierre Signatures Angus Cheeseburger from Costco.

The burger tasted like a regular cheeseburger, maybe a bit fattier. I also found it salty, so after eating part of one with the cheese, I decided to try one without cheese. I tried a new burger and microwaved it without the cheese in it. The burger without the cheese wasn't as salty and tasted better to me.

The bun was also good and wasn't soft and mushy or too hard. However, after eating the majority of the burger, I let it sit out for a few minutes while I went to do something else, and when I came back to eat the rest, the bread had become a little rigid.

By the way, don't get your hopes up for microwavable lettuce. Unlike the front of the box, the actual burger doesn't come with any kind of lettuce. 😛

REVIEW – Campbell’s SpaghettiOs with Sliced Franks

I was craving something easy to make that was soupy and tomatoey, so when I went to the grocery store I decided to try the SpaghettiOs that I saw. I thought I remembered disliking the meatballs in the normal kind (although I haven't had SpaghettiOs in years), so I tried the ones with sliced Franks.

I warmed the SpaghettiOs in the microwave, and overall, it tasted OK, as it halted my craving for something soupy and tomatoey. The tomato sauce was kind of sweet & watery, but it didn't taste that bad. The O's (pasta) were very soft, as expected, and they were OK, as well. However, I did not like the franks at all. The franks didn't really taste like anything and were just chewy discs that didn't belong. I ended up not even being able to eat the franks and threw them away.

Packaged Neoguri Noodles - Seafood flavor

I had some Neoguri packaged noodles (spicy seafood flavor) from Fry's for lunch.

You can boil the noodles or warm them up with water in the microwave. The noodles only took 8 minutes on high warmed up in the microwave, and they came out great.

They are listed as Udon type noodles, but they do not really have the texture of Udon noodles, however, they are thicker than the standard packaged ramen noodles. The noodles had a very flavorful, spicy taste, and they didn't really have too much of a seafoody taste. The noodles were delicious, and I ate it all up pretty quickly.
