@Pomai – But as long as he can shaka.

@Jenny – Asians freeze burn easily so you’re probably going to have to throw away what’s in your freezer.

I’ve been wondering what to do with all that ground Asian in my freezer, so this is just the product for me.

Marv, then he’ll just have to deal with looking AND considered being retarded. Simple as that. Kinda’ like giving someone the “bird” using your ring finger. lol

@Pomai – All I want to know is, why does the Hamburger Helper glove only have four fingers? What if he gets pissed and wants to show it with a hand gesture?

If it’s OK to name this “Asian Helper”, then I suppose it’s OK if they rename “Hamburger Helper” as “Caucasian Helper”. Not to forget “Hispanic Helper. Or does “Latino Helper” sound more romantic? lol

@Heidi – I would try it with my own flesh, but I need it to function. I wish Ace lived closer.

@ann – I did pick a winner, but I guess I forgot to announce it. But I know it wasn’t you or your imaginary boyfriend.

@transiit – See my response to Heidi.

@neil – With nuts and fresh vegetables.

@Chuck – If I can find it, I will also be checking it out.

@Bryan – You’ve been naughty recently. It’s like my penchant for sexual jokes has permeated through the internet.

@Jeanette – Now that you mention it. Ground beef does sound very authentic. I don’t think there is an Asian dish that involves ground beef.

@Molly – I’ll be almost anyone’s Asian helper if the pay is right and I have benefits.

Asian Helper sounds vaguely racist, as in: “I’ll have my little Asian helper get back to you on that matter.”

Asian Gourmet Kit sounds a little bit better.

Okay, I’m not very educated about Asian cuisine… but hamburger chunks in noodles (or anything for that matter) doesn’t sound authentic in any sense of the word. Way to bastardize another ethnic food.
However, name choice aside I can see it being somewhat tasty.

I hear Betty Crocker gives good head. Which is why I guess they named it Asian Helper. Where do I sign up…

I like Mongolian food. This might be worth checking out.

Who won the coupon for the free Carl’s Jr. steak sandwich coupon? Obviously it wasn’t me or my imaginary boyfriend.

I’m going to shake my fist at the screen because the name doesn’t make sense: Hamburger Helper is for when you want to spice up your normal, boring old hamburger; Tuna Helper is for when you want something exciting than just plain tuna. Asian Helper? Either it’s something that helps Asians out with cooking or they’re promoting cannibalism.
