I tried the chicken selects and found that while the quality of the
chicken was better the quality of the meal wasn't--one doesn't eat
chicken tenders for the chicken, one eats them for the sauce, and
Chicken Selects don't work and play well with sauce--they're too big to
dip conveniently. Friendlies chicken strips have the same problem but
at least with them you have a knife and can cut them into nicely
dippable pieces.

And yes, I admit it, I'm a junk food junkie.
