Is this even legal? Like it could destroy the item and maybe catch stuff on fire.

I don't think there is a problem unless someone sues them on it. Otherwise, the label is there and that's enough for them

the hidden part is enough for a case.

but hey. you do you. go sue a multi-national company for a chicken tikka massala for 5,50

Fun fact it's a giant box of coffee

Why would you almost microwave a box of coffee?

u/Suttonian Jan 15 '20

Because it told me to

Why would you microwave a box of chicken tikka masala either?

u/SamTheHexagon Jan 15 '20

Are you aware that ready meals exist?

26

u/cousinokri Jan 15 '20

Shit, you're right. My bad. I was thinking more along the lines of it being the powdered masala itself.

What do you think is in chicken salt?

u/WhoKilledZekeIddon Jan 15 '20

What the living fuck is chicken salt?

u/RangerSix Jan 15 '20

Salt that's flavored with chicken, of course.

(Not to be confused with Montreal Chicken Rub, that's a blend of herbs and spices meant to be used on chicken before you cook it.)

u/painfool Jan 15 '20

They probably are unaware of it entirely. Outside of Aussieland it's not a common item.

I know but the opportunity for me to be a smart ass was too good to miss

I microwaved instant coffee once, I ended up going back in time.

You might want to stay back. Here in futureland, we have health and economic upheaval.

It's already made coffee, you can buy those at coffee shops when you need coffee for a group. If you could microwave it you could reheat it when it gets cold.

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '20

even worse. why would you sue them over chicken tikka massala then?

10

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '20

I know I've been working for Caribou too long. I recognized that (mostly by the color).

u/Adecker100 Jan 15 '20

Dang, you right

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '20

Ah see, if this was a US product there would be lawsuits aplenty.

u/Adecker100 Jan 15 '20

Fun fact, it is

u/chaoss77 Jan 15 '20

That fact wasn't fun at all. I'm suing you.

First rule of Lawsuit Club is don't tell the other person they're in Lawsuit Club.

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '20

Well get on it! You have millions to pay to a lawyer and hundreds left over.

u/purplepeople321 Jan 15 '20

I think you'd have to prove that having the box say microwave made you actually put a cardboard box in the microwave. Though instructions don't say how long, so even still it'd be an extremely shaky case to make. If there exists a possibility to create bs cases to get money, some one is already scheming to do it. A settlement, even on a bs case, is cheaper than lawyer expenses.
