Hoax - Packaged Frozen Foods
Very often, the common shopper is often decieved by the colourful packaging and the serious amounts of detail into frozen food. For example, Totino's is a brand of frozen pizza with a cover of a delicious lookin pizza with every hint of deliciousness. Companies decieve shoppers by adding various colourful pictures and colours, or use lighting when they take photos. It is a way to lure shopppers into thinking, "Oh this frozen food looks so fresh and delicious looking, I have to buy it." Shoppers often picture a warm, delicious, and fresh-tasting dinner until when they open it. It ends up as a frozen brick. For example in my experiences, I found a package of microwavable Macaroni and Cheese and it looked delicious on the cover. So I got lured in and bought a package. However I was decieved by the lighting and colourful background that when I prepared it, instead of a golden rich sauce with pasta, it ended up as a white mush covered in this white and unappetizing sauce. From then on, I did not trust frozen food too often unless I had previous good experienes with it. There are few frozen foods that taste very nice such as Pilsbury's mini pizzas, Pogos, and a few others but they do not live up to the cover on the package. In my experiences I find that Taiwan has even worse frozen food, maybe most likely that people eat fresh everyday or eat outside because of the convience. In Canada and the United States, there aren't 7-11's and shops every street like in Taiwan or Asia in general.
