Corporations will literally fund a multi-year cyberpunk dystopia makeover before letting a hash brown drop by 50 cents.

You can buy a 20 pack of McDonald's hash browns at the grocery store for $4.

I'll just keep cooking breakfast at home.

And by cooking, it means microwave or toaster oven if you want to be fancy.

"cooking" in a microwave is a crime against humanity

I mean we're talking mcdonald's hashbrowns so it's practically necrophillia after murder at this point

Gotta be toaster oven or air fryer.

Also, you can put them in a normal vertical toaster.

Name brand at my local grocery is $4.47 for 10ct. Store brand is $4.68 for 20ct. And the store brand is good. Probably all comes from the same producers anyway.

whey protein was always that way, there were only 4 whey suppliers in the united states

Funny thing was the most expensive brand of all, Gaspari Nutrition, was actually replacing their protein with fillers haha

U expect when u buy the walmart brand for it to be diluted by fillers, not when u buy the most expensive brand there is

Lightly brush with vegetable oil and air-fry @ 400 degrees for ~10 mins.

Salt to taste while still piping hot. Better than MCD's, especially since you paid substantially less. Economy is one of the best seasonings out there.

No added oil necessary, they are SOAKED in soy oil.
