<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nIt seems like there’s been a trend to make things bigger. SUVs are getting larger, 15-pound cheeseburgers<\/a> are being sold, the breasts of 18-year-old girls are artificially increasing, and Joan Rivers’<\/a> mouth seems to get louder and wider with every awards show.<\/p>\n But it’s good to know there are items that buck this trend and keep things small, like cell phones, digital cameras, wages at Walmart, the portions at five-star restaurants, and testicles in cold water.<\/p>\n A company that has also kept it small is White Castle, which is famous for their small, squarish hamburgers and their ability to attract people with a case of the munchies.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, being several thousand miles away from the nearest White Castle restaurant, I haven’t experienced the wonder of White Castle hamburgers. However, the national grocery store chain I shop at just so happens to have in stock frozen White Castle Microwaveable Cheeseburgers.<\/p>\n Of course, I’m sure the frozen burgers can’t compare with fresh White Castle burgers, because if I’ve learned anything about freezing environments, it’s that it makes everything in it miserable and it can shrink testicles.<\/p>\n The frozen White Castle cheeseburgers are almost identical to their fresh counterparts, they both have the patented burger patties with five holes, a whole lot of onions, and a small slice of American cheese, in between a small bun. However, the hard frozen White Castle cheeseburger would probably do more harm in a food fight.<\/p>\n One of the problems I had with these frozen burgers was the microwave heating instructions. Despite following them with great accuracy, I ended up with burgers with slightly cold edges. Sticking them in the microwave for a few more seconds resulted in soggy buns.<\/p>\n Fortunately, Impulsive Buy reader Kimdog let me in on her highly scientific heating instructions, which she spent \nTake the two burgers and nuke them on high for about 20 seconds. Open the microwave and take the tops of the buns off and remove them from the cooking interior. At the same time rotate the burgers by 180 degrees. <\/p>\n Restart the microwave and cook until you see the cheese bubble (usually about another 40 or so seconds). Open the microwave and put the tops of the buns back on the burgers and close the door.<\/p>\n Let them sit in the dark lifeless microwave for about another minute. This will warm and moisten the bun tops with out drying them out.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Kimdog’s heating instructions helped a little bit, but the burgers still weren’t completely heated.<\/p>\n As for the taste of the burgers, how can I put it? Um…it’s like I was eating grease. But something in that greasy taste kind of made them addicting. I don’t know if it’s the onions, the burger patty, or the holes in the burger patty, but something about it made it taste pretty good.<\/p>\n However, at $5.49 per six-count box, it made them slightly less tasty. (How much do fresh White Castle burgers cost?) <\/p>\n If you divide the price by six, each burger comes out to be about 91 cents. Personally, I’d rather grab six McDonald’s one dollar Double Cheeseburgers, which are bigger and just as tasty.<\/p>\n If I really wanted to, I could’ve eaten the entire box because the burgers are so small. However, eating just two of them left a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. I don’t know if this is common with White Castle burgers, but after my recent experiences with Olestra, I didn’t want to take the chance of eating the entire box.<\/p>\n (Editor’s Note: Thanks to Impulsive Buy reader Chuck, who let me know about the 15-pound cheeseburger.)<\/p>\n Item:<\/b> White Castle Microwaveable Cheeseburgers It seems like there’s been a trend to make things bigger.
