#MicroMagic
Down here, close to the earth where the air smells of moss and hidden secrets, there are entire universes unfolding in miniature. We felines are masters of the micro-gaze. We understand that the most profound magic doesn't roar from the treetops; it whispers.

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).

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.

What Major Dad reminded me of was MicroMagic French fries and hamburgers. Say what you will, those things were delicious. Healthy? Maybe not, but at least i was eating SOMETHING. And as a kid with two working parents, i could prepare them myself.

The whole MicroMagic lineup is on my docket!

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 remember the MicroMagic milkshakes more than anything.

Yes. You microwaved a milkshake. I still don’t understand it all these years later.

well here's something fun I just learned: You can still get MicroMagic french fries in Japan.

I would absolutely kill for a box of these and a MicroMagic cheeseburger

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.

Humans are way more resilient than we sometimes think.

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

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

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.
