It's missing the part where the instructions are literally "Boil for 5-7 minutes. Serve."

Yeah, but what if I misread it? Or i forgot how much time these noodles cook for cause the noodles I cooked yesterday took 9-10 minutes.

Yep. Everytime

Occasionally I get in the habit of putting it on the counter next to me.

Then after a few times of doing that successfully my brain says to throw it away because surely I will remember how long this time and it is back to trash can diving.

I gave up on this and just wing it now. It’s not always perfect, but it’s premade, and I just blame it on the company.

Why not just delay throwing the box away until you're finished cooking?

Because that’s not how it works or we wouldn’t be on this post having this chat, probably. ;)

I love how controversial this is. You really hit a nerve!

I've made enough of most boxed things, I have the instructions memorized. But I end up doing this every time I try something new.
