Americans are so lazy
Thanks to Friends School junior Bradley Kolodner for this comment:
"I want to bring to your attention a product very similar to the Smuckers Uncrustables that you ridiculed back in May, that my father and I got a kick out of at our local Giant. They are called Fast Franks, hot dogs in a bun, made by Oscar-Mayer. If you haven't seen them, I am sure that you can imagine what they are; hot dogs in a bun that you can just throw in the microwave and already have your hot dog in the bun.I realize that actually putting a hot dog on a bun can take some elbow grease. You have to walk to the pantry, open up the bun package, which usually has 2 fewer buns than hot dogs in a hot dog package, and actually place the hot dog in the bun. Whew, that seems too tough for us Americans! These "Fast Franks" save all that time and effort. Just open the package of three buns and hot dogs, and without having to put the hot dog in the bun, just place in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds. Those precious seconds saved could give Americans more time to watch television! Anyway, I thought you would enjoy hearing about this fairly new product that seems to have the same purpose of the Smuckers Uncrustables: save Americans time but not necessarily money.What will they invent next? A mini-microwave that you can purchase with food already in it where you just press a button and your food is warm without having to actually put the food in the microwave?

Bradley, that mini-microwave joke was hilarious!

I hadn't even heard of "Fast Franks." The laziness in Americans is obvious when we look at other cultures. They don't have things such as cars that parallel park for you, sidewalks that move for you, or no need to actually walk anywhere.
We live in a society where people take the elevator instead of stairs and then go to the gym and spend a half hour on the stairmaster (yes they do still exist).
We pretty much lead the world for obesity and other preventable diseases and instead of doing something about it. We want to be PC and accept all body types.
I definately like your microwave with food already in it. You might want to patent it before someone else does : )

I guess bradley never opened a can of corn. I am sure he would rather cut it from the husk. I guess he probably grows his own.
I think the hot dogs are a good idea if you want to take them to school or work. I doubt I would use them at home.

Wow.. this is what i have been saying for years... Do we want to speak towards the "Entreprenueral Spirit" Hello no! No need our job as americans is simply to be the crab in the bucket. We can not win with out someone losing! To think of a win/win requires too much thought!
