Micro Magic Burgers (1984-1999): A line of microwavable frozen hamburgers and cheeseburgers on sesame seed buns, that boasted "100% real beef and real American cheese!", promising a fast food-style burger experience in mere minutes

Think i just gave @safemuffins.vip war flashbacks by asking him what the hell micromagic foods were.
I don't know if @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social has covered them here or on the other site, but it feels like the ultimate discontinued food from the 80s LOL

Every time I watch MAHA stans essentially promote eating disorders while trying to push product, I'm reminded that a day's sustenance growing up was often a Snickers bar and a can of Jolt for lunch and a MicroMagic burger for dinner.

Most of you are going to quietly go "EWWWWW", but I absolutely *adored* MicroMagic in the 1990s. I ate my fair share of the burgers and fries.
Was it good for me? No. So what? They tasted good and were so easy to make that even a knucklehead who is so bad at cooking that he burns water could do it.

Micro Magic French Fries (1984-1999): Part of the "Micro Magic" line of microwavable fast food items, these crinkle cut fries came in a thick box that you'd rip open, nuke in the microwave, and presumably be enjoying in no time.

The micromagic burgers were so good tho. Like was it anything like a normal burger? No not really, BUT the seasoning and cheese were so good

A 1992 ad for The Dark Queen of Krynn, an RPG for PC platforms by MicroMagic
Art by Clyde Caldwell illustrates the page (and gold box!) for the final chapter of SSI's Dragonlance saga that began with Champions on Krynn in 1990. A wicked goddess finally loses her patience. And you're in the way.

The whole MicroMagic line was formative for me because we ate them a lot when my family’s kitchen was being remodeled and we were making do with our first microwave down in the basement.

I probably lived on MicroMagic and Hot Pockets through the end of my teens.

Love how the tagline is "Give THEM MicroMagic" because adults don't want to eat that shit. But damn did it not hit when you're like 11.
After my mom died, I moved in with my grandma who had a freezer chest packed with this shit (and their burgers and fries).
Absolute fucking garbage, but also absolute gold for a kid who had been getting by on oatmeal gruel for months.

I remember the MicroMagic milkshakes more than anything.
Yes. You microwaved a milkshake. I still don’t understand it all these years later.

I remember those Disney Ice Pops, we got em here.
Two I miss are Flintstone Pushups (I think Nestle may still make em without the branding in the US?) And MicroMagic fries (apparently still a going concern in Japan).

1980s kids remember when grocery stores (and high schools!) sold shakes frozen solid which could be partially thawed in a microwave. RETVRN, I guess?

The Micromagic Fries were no better. They were also really awful. The obsession with trying to make everything "microwave" friendly was a terrible moment in food history.
A lot of unholy, terrible no good things were born in this era.

The Reagan years could absolutely be described as Microwaved shit.
As I said elsewhere, MicroMagic food was, in my 52 years...the absolute worst food I ever put in my mouth.

Heya folks, here's the intro featuring the 3rd, and final, Krynn game The Dark Queen of Krynn by MicroMagic and Strategic Simulations Inc.
In order to get this one below the 3m mark, I had to do extensive eediting, and I sped it up in part by up to 170%.
