if you have time to shitpost on 4chan, you have enough time to go to the grocery store and pick up ingredients.
those companies were literally designed to fleece retards like you out of money because you're too stupid to think for yourself.

i would feel very embarrassed to buy this

>>14740524
Fuck no. Get the fuck out of here.

>don't have the time to go grocery shopping
If that's true and you're not just shitpostin' there are plenty of grocery delivery services out there now, especially since bat aids. Still cheaper than this retarded wasteful crap

i used to work for hello fresh as a pick/packer and kitter. no, they are most definitely not worth the price in terms of quality/quantity. however, if convenience is what you're looking for, then absolutely

Whos buying these meal kits if theres so many of them ? Theres obviously a demand for it.

>This way i dont have to go out to the shops to do all that adulting and i can spend more time in my mancave!!

This is an unironic example of Rentism creeping into people's lives anon. It starts with optional services for the creatively lazy cooks. Then the walmarts of the world start making their own packages that you can just pick up from the store. This will be a crafty excuse for them to start cutting down on logistics complexity. Then grocery shopping will be limited to the hipster grocery boutiques like trader joes. After that some technocratic nitwit will do what they do best, and normalize advanced meal kit subcriptions as an alternative for wage increases. This sort of shit happened before in the wild west. Don't let it happen again.

>Uncle makes a big deal out of something he wants to show me on his phone
>The man gets a little tray from the fridge and opens it revealing the ingridients inside
>It's a machine, the man grabs some vegetables
>Look anon it chops the vegetables
>The vegetables were already cut into small pieces to fif inside the machine, it would have taken an extra couple minutes to chop them yourself since you already got the knife and chopping board the dirty
>Look, look it weights the rice
>I mean, if you ever need a specific amount of rice
>See, you introduce the meat, no need to get a pot or a pan dirty
>I can assure you you are going to spend 40 minutes cleaning this thing afterwards
>It can make over 2000 recipes but you can buy their trays with everything you need for a meal online
>This is just a toaster oven
Uncle this is just a toaster oven
>Uncle gets visibly upset

>later that year, hanging out with my uncle at work
>12 am be is finished
>Go with him to his house
>His wife is already asleep
>He grabs a pork chop from the freezer, defrosts it on the microwave and throws it on a skillet while he makes instant mash
>This is the dinner a man who just worked over 12 hours gets
>His wife who doesn't have a job didn't even stay up to greet him
I feel so bad, I hope he gets his toaster oven, press f for my unlce

>there's obviously a demand for it
They all make huge losses. Whatever demand might exist (or might possibly be created) is clearly much less than the current supply.

It's like getting presents all year long! I love unboxing

My morbidly obese roommate used hello fresh our senior year of college because he wasn’t an adult enough to go to the local Walmart or Safeway to pick up chicken breast, veggies, and rice so he had these ingredients shipped to him
God I fucking hate fat Americans I’m at work right now so I’ll get into details about this fat fucks relationship with food and how it shed light on why Americans are the unhealthiest motherfuckers alive.

>wife doesnt have a job
>also doesnt cook her man dinner
what a worthless hole

>>14741601
You were a little douche to him, I hope you apologize to him about that, he was just happy that he could have a robotic wife that would at least cook with him

>>14740524
no
subsist on red beans and rice with deenz

Just another millennial fad
they'll spend all their money on shit like this then wonder why they're short on rent.
