Bogus marketing.

Last week I rushed into the house to cook my recently aquirred Totino's pizza. Like an ancient hunter returing home to his wife after a prime catch I threw it in the oven and fetched a plate. It finished cooking before long although it seemed like hours to me at the time. I began eating my Totino with nearly frenzied zeal and even though it burned my throat, the overall stimuli detection was quite positive due to the taste, so I kept eating. I noticed the box sitting on the table and so I flipped it around and began reading the back. I was delighted with a lovely article about the Totino family and how they started a pizza business from near scratch and were overwhelmed with demand for their phenominal homeade recipe. This wonderful family created a pizza empire and now that very recipe was in front of me. "Totino's takes the same pride in delivering quality product to you today that Rose and Jim took with their pizzas over 50 years ago" it read. Touching right? I certainly thought so. Taking another bite I glanced over to the ingredients list.
