They do.  One of my favorites is the Bavarian cream (creme Englais) filled bar with chocolate icing.
You can always get what you want if you never count the cost.

I had Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff for dinner this evening. Simple, yet effective.  :D

I love hamburger helper.  And Krispy Kreme, but I don't feel like the latter is worth paying normal price for.

... I'm the guy that goes for the majorly discounted 2nd day donuts.  I specifically hunt down the Scolari's kind; they pull them at about 6pm, and if I show up between 5 and 6, I can almost always fill a box myself with exactly the donuts I want.

I like hamburger helper made from scratch but not the box kind

technically that would make it NOT hamburger helper, since that's just a brand name of different pre-made meals :P

But yes, homemade versions will generally always be better

Hamburger Helper I can live with, but who eats TUNA helper? I shudder each time I see it on the shelves.  Though I think that is flashback from when I was a child and my mother would make tuna in white sauce over toast.

A former roommate occasionally ate tuna helper. It really is as gross as it sounds.

Okay. Today, I present to you...the Perfect Sandwich.

Start with toasted whole-grain bread. Spread one slice liberally with mayonnaise (NOT Miracle Whip - that's just sick. And wrong). Add a layer of pickles (and I do mean a layer - if you can still see the mayo, you're doing it wrong). Place a slice of tomato on the pickles (or two if you're using widescreen bread). To the tomato add a breaded chicken patty, baked until crispy. Squeeze a touch of barbeque sauce on the other slice of bread, then use it to close the sandwich. CAUTION: sandwich will be very messy. Insert Carl's Junior catchphrase here.

What makes this sandwich so great for a college student is that not only is it delicious, but you can omit any of the ingredients (including the chicken) and still have a delicious sandwich.

Awesome!!! Well, technically they were fajitas. But I had tacos for lunch (and dinner the next day).

Jade I am sorry to see you had to endure that too. I thought I was the only family who had that particular nastiness. I don't even like tuna sandwiches now, much less anything else with it.

Well, readerMom, my mother made another similar dish involving hard-boiled eggs.  Creamed tuna on toast was one of the better things we ate!
