The horror…

Suckered in by the “Buy 1 get 1 Free” sign at the store, I purchased something I would normally never purchase. 
And, silly me, I neglected to read the box to see exactly what it was I purchased.
Apparently, I purchased some tasteless cardboard food that goes by the name of “Ultra Lean Pockets”
The “Ultra” is for the fact these are made with whole grains and extra fiber.  They actually put that on the package “Extra Fiber!” As if that is a great reason for eating something that tastes like cardboard. 
I knew I was in trouble when I opened the package to find they didn’t even have one of those crisper pocket things that come with the normal hot pockets.  None the less, I charged on, putting the pocket in the microwave and waiting patiently for the outcome.
It was horrible.  Terrible.  I almost spit it out.  Then I thought, maybe it’s not all a loss, perhaps if I put a little Ranch on it…
Side note – I have the best Ranch Dressing.  It’s ultra cheesy Chedder & Parmesan Ranch.  It’s yummy, creamy and has actual chunks of cheese in it.  I love it.
It didn’t help.  Not even in the slightest.  I think the pocket actually tasted WORSE with the yummy dressing on it. 
Now I have 3 of these horrid things left in my freezer.  I’m not really sure what to do.  Do eat them anyway so as not to be wasteful?  Do I throw them out?  Do I attempt to donate them to some unsuspecting person?
