I feel that if a meal doesn’t match up to what is advertised, it should get lower than a 3/5.

PS: 1/5 in taste isn’t applicable to what I’m saying, so thanks for bringing it up.

The chicken tenders/nuggets, fish sticks, brownies, mac and cheese. What's important to remember isn't that it's supposed to be a good meal; it's supposed to be a hot but mildly tasty tray that you buy when you only have a dollar to spend.</p><br/><br/><p>The spaghetti, though, is revolting.</p> I actually quite like a lot of Banquet meals.

The spaghetti, though, is revolting.

Lucky for me I only lost $1 because it was on sale

the pudding was slightly sweet and bitter at the same time, very hard to describe the taste.

He gave the taste of it 1/5. Just because the meal is smaller than it appears and isn't necessarily what's show on the box doesn't grant it an immediate 1/5. Just about every company falsely advertises their meals on the front of the box somehow.</p> He gave the looks of the meal a 3/5. He gave the taste of it 1/5.
