One of my favorite "emergency" standbys - frozen Ore-Ida mashed
potatoes - are being discontinued shortly, and replaced by Ore-Ida
frozen "steam and mash" potatoes.

I am p*ssed off. If I wanted to get out my potato masher, I'd make
them from scratch. It's much easier to just nuke them and fluff them
up with a fork. I wonder what genius customer market research decided
to take this track.

Maybe it's a substitution only in my main supermarket....
