Abi says: This meal did not taste good. Even before I put it in the microwave, I knew I wouldn’t be satisfied. Granted, I should give all meals a chance. And I was a little heartened by the look of the meal after I added the peanut topping, but I couldn’t really get over just how little went into the meal. I could have sworn that I had to open four packets just to eat. The noodles were fine, but the sauce was bland and the vegetables non-existent. Sadly, I spent the lunch hour looking longingly at people with salads from Cosi. I prefer High Noon and even McDonald’s. Really, you know it isn’t worth the effort when you’re staring at someone else’s salad from Cosi. What a waste of $3.00.
