Have you ever wondered what the saddest thing is? Well here it is:

This is just sad. I mean, how can you not feel bad for anyone who purchased this? Luckily, the internet being what it is, they decided to poke fun at this. I am glad I live in a world where truly nothing at all is sacred. Obviously this book is on the older side, so the connotation with single microwave meals did not exist at that time, but the fact that its message and aesthetic design have aged so horribly is part of the sadistic humor of this particular item. Luckily, the reviewers on amazon are far funnier than I am so I think it is time to share some of their words with the world.

This one seems pretty self explanatory, and has garnered quite a few positive responses, but I think we can go funnier.

I am a sucker for deadpan humor and this is a fantastic exhibit. Cashing in on the depression just emanating from the amazon page, this was marked as helpful by nearly 4,500 people (a de facto upvote system I would assume). However this is nowhere near as funny to me as the final offering

I find this one sensationally funny, but I have no idea why. Perhaps the idea of tossing a floppy chicken breast in the microwave is such an uncomfortable thought that I cannot help but derive some twisted enjoyment from this. Perhaps the idea that it is humorous while seeming to be completely serious it what's getting me. Either way, this is a trip and I was cackling like a hyena in my desk chair. Good thing none of you could see it because it wasn't pretty. If you know why this is funny, please let me know.

Anyhow that is all for this whacky product and I will be coming back with a new one soon.

I would by that book! Looks like a thriller to me...

The second review has me laughing like a hyena...I think what adds to it is that people would even buy this

I believe there is always someone that will be anything.
