>lmao [Fast Food Chain's] [Food Item] is so bad. You could make the same thing, and much better, at home!
No you couldn't, you bumbling contrarian retard.

If I'm buying a BigMac I'm not looking for a three-star gourmet burger, I'm looking to bite into artificial buns so that my every tastebud can be overwhelmed by their lab-made sauce.
If I'm buying a wrap from Taco Bell, I'm not looking to enjoy some first-grade mince and season veggies, I'm looking to bite into a mix of artificial flavors that probably cost them millions of dollars to refine until they managed to make it cause addiction from the first bite.

Fuck off with your pretentious "omg how dare you consume sub-optimal food" idiocy.
Every item of fast food is not just some inferior version of a "real food", it's a completely separate thing that doesn't even in factor in the same CATEGORY.

There is no fucking way you're even coming close to reproducing the chemical-enhanced taste of anything served in a chain store with something homemade, your retarded assertion is the equivalent of going "Lmao why would you ever buy cocaine, sugar and coffee can give you a rush too!"

>one-pot-pasta
Those never work.
There is no ingredient in the world that cooks at the same rate as pasta.
All of these abominations end up cooking the pasta for something like 20 minutes, boiling it in a mixture of ingredients that can't be abundantly salted like pasta requires, so the pasta itself always ends up being a bland, overcooked glue.
But let's say you're used to it, let's say you live in one of those countries where you can live your whole life without eating properly cooked pasta even once, so it doesn't bother you.

The rest is still going to be dreadful, because by cooking everything together for pretty much half an hour you obtain a mixed mash, with every individual flavor being lost in the sludge you created.

One-pot pastas are a cancer.
They never worked.
They will never work.
They only sound good to lazy people unable to cook who see it and think "Hey, even I can cook that!"
Except you can't.

Because one-pot pastas do not qualify as food, nor cooking.
