    Some of y’all never had Helper and it shows.

    “Want to eat at my house? My mom’s making Helper.”

    “You mean like Hamburger Helper?”

    “Yeah but without the hamburger.”

    Being too poor to afford hamburger is not exactly a new condition.

      I don’t know if this is actually true or not, because I didn’t grow up eating a lot of hamburger helper, but I think it’s the fact that they’re advertising it for the cheaper meat that’s a recession indicator.
