You know what? The Pillsbury Doughboy is white. And so is the Michelin Man. Just because something makes you feel oppressed, doesn’t mean that you have to have someone else open the can or change the tire.

I do not like the pop. And while I scoff at canned dough as not-really-food, I must admit to opening them a few times in my 20s. The office had a toaster oven and I could bake them there.  
One time I unrolled canned cinnamon buns and re-rolled them around strips of bacon.

Ew no thanks. Food from the sink is like food from the toilet. I don’t care how well you think you’ve cleaned it. I’d rather risk my fingers.

I checked these out a few years back and they were loaded with trans fats. I wonder if that’s changed…
