    As someone who relies pretty heavily on microwavable dinners, I know what it's like to have a meal that doesn't look appetizing. Here are a few meals that suck you in with the packaging, and disappoint with the final product.

There is no microwave food on Earth that looks better in reality than it does on the package! You pay like 2 bucks for a frozen dinner, what do you expect?

Might not look the best but Amy's uses wholesome whole-foods ingredients and their food tastes real.
