Maybe this will help...

LOL LOL LOL

That site is hilarious. And a pretty good description, except for the "delicious" wording in the description. The only thing it DOESN'T convey is the smell. There is nothing in the world that smells like Hamburger Helper. Nothing.

And, to expand on the site, the HH box comes with a plastic pack of noodles, and a paper packet of spices & gravy. You brown a pound of hamburger, add water and seasoning, add your noodles, and in 20 minutes you have a "meal". Then, the rest of the night, you have horrendous gas and a stomachache, and it smells the same coming out as going in. And the smell from cooking it lingers in your house for at least a day, if not more.

Like I said, I've eaten it countless times, and was glad to do so (the alternative being going hungry). And at least one of the varieties I really enjoy, on occasion. But like Jason said, it's "horrendously caloric" and packed with sodium and God knows what else.

But it obviously made Stevie and Lindsey (and who knows how many others of our treasured musicians) what they are today, so I'm not complaining, just explaining for those of you who haven't had the HH pleasure (?).

EDIT: And, do you think the folks at General Mills will see a spike in views of the HH page, and think there's going to be some kind of run on it???

I went back on phase one of South Beach before Thanksgiving because I wanted to get back into the swing of things so I wouldn't have any cravings during the holiday season (port wine cheese is my biggest weakness), but I BROKE DOWN last night and went ape**** with Chinese food.

Thanks for the HH descriptions folks..I think I get the picture, I'm guessing you call mince beef "hamburger beef" ( another little word difference, between us)

Oh god! Totally!!

One for me is Lindsey's chest shake thing he does during "Tusk" on The Dance video. What makes it even more funny is that my sister and I have an inside joke about it so every time I see it it makes me laugh all the more.
