This is a hilarious and informative book about the history of processed foods! Ever wonder why Pringles come in that tube? Or who came up with the idea for SPAM (or why, lol?)? How about all the strange flavors that Pop Tarts have tried? Yep, those answers and more are here in one place, plus much more. One of my favorite stories is about how the Kool Aid empire was started by an 11 year old. I need to get my kids busy!

The convenience food I can't live without? Well, I *can* live without it (and probably live longer), but I loves me some Coffee Mate.
I don't even have to think about my can't do without convenience food: Miracle Whip!

It'd be impossible to list just one. I like the instructions for all of the little crocheted critters. Also, how to discourage carolers, how to sneak out of a business meeting. Makes me wonder if the author is truly unlucky and has had the misfortune to experience all they've written about. :)
