They’ll probably say that it’s for the environment and that you should use a reusable bag for it.
Companies are good at doing things to benefit the environment when it also benefits their bottom line.

I've lived long enough where I definitely see this as the reason.
It starts with one person saying "hey wait, if we do this thing we waste a little less!". Good intentions and idea. It grows and catches on. Companies see that and see the triple hitter: they can
Happens all the time. Tipping is the best example. You feel bad for the driver or server so you tip a little more. Companies see this and make it easier for you to tip, saying they really value their workers and want to let you tell them. Meanwhile they do nothing for actual pay, screwing you and the employees at the same time.
Or just roll them around in a bowl
Shaking is not required
I'd take no issue with it, but if it came to fucking over the environment to save cash, well then fuck the environment it is.
money is the root of all evil
Money is amoral, the Love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.
Cheapflation them back and learn that you don't need these stupid products. They're not "convenient" they're just a way to charge you 10x for the constituent ingredients.
I'm with this guy. Just buy some seasoning salt or whatever and apply it with some oil. At this point the only advantage they're giving you is that they're pre measured portions.
The ingredients of this are going to be white flour, salt, thyme, garlic, paprika.
And probably a bunch of other useless shit you don't want or need to eat.
So yeah, just mix up a 1/2 cup of flour, dash some seasonings in, mix it up, coat your meat and let it sit for 30 minutes.
I thought breadcrumbs gave it that texture it has.
Yeah you can do that too. Crushed up corn flakes etc
They also don’t include the oven for baking 😡
Shake 'n Bake doesn't come with bags, either.
Used to
Don't you have a bowl with a lid for that, you wasteful slop?
Interesting, I don't think I knew these ever had bags, we have always just mixed cheap canned breadcrumbs with seasoning powder
I've been re-using ziploc bags for years. Just wash them.
I use a food storeage container incase of chicken bones piercing the bag.
I noticed recently that Hot Pockets at some point in the last ~ 8 years removed the crisping sleeve for cooking them in the microwave (I hadn't bought them in a long time). They claim that it was done to reduce packaging waste. In reality, they just made the product shittier to save a few cents per unit. Now you have to cook it in the oven for 30 minutes to have it be crispy, or have a rubbery hot pocket if you use the microwave. It was the first time I bought them in ~ 8 years, and I won't be buying them again.
Hilariously there was minor backlash about this, they sent out silicone hot pocket holders as a gesture of goodwill if you requested it.
Imma hit em up so I'm prepared in 8 years for my next pocket.
First you said you wouldn't be buying a hot pocket ever again. Then you decided you will buy one every eight years?
Shit, I'm a hypocrite. Brb gonna go commit sudoku.
Nothin wrong with punishing yourself by number puzzle.

Besides being annoying, it seems too easy to absorb moisture and be a pain in the ass to try and work with it , not being sealed in a bag.
The actual seasoning crumbs are still sealed in a bag (for now? lol). It just doesn't come with the "shake" bags you pour that into in order to coat the food.
