i have been cutting and keeping one of the little instructions off of boxes of food that i buy regularly fer this vary reason
I used to be like this. But at some point, you make enough of something that you just memorize it and you only end up back here when you try something new.
In that scenario the problem for me is when I accidentally think "how was I supposed to do that?". Everything falls apart then.
I'm the quality director of a food packaging company and we have this trash can in the lab for samples we're done with but maybe not done with. We like to call it our filing cabinet. 🤣 We're always digging in that trash to check on things.
I got tired of doing this so I just started to leave the box on the counter until after I've set a timer. And it gives you something else to do while your pasta or whatever cooks.
It needs to go from hand to trash. If it goes onto the counter it's there for days.
I just make sure the instructions are facing up when they go in the bin. Just needs a quick glance without any extra steps to distract and make you forget. (I got rid of the bin lids as my trash/recycle is usually dry and doesn't smell)
That better be from the pasta region of Italy, otherwise it's just sparkling noodles.
Sparkling noodles
… Recycle ಥ_ಥ
Unless you know for a fact your local recycling company is good, it truly does not matter, especially in regards to plastics or food contaminated cardboard.
I like how the eyes goes outside the face in this comic
Obligatory comment for all of them.
( . _ ) .
Agreed, that is my favourite feature of these
I keep the packaging out until I’m done.
I do the same and then forget to throw it away for a couple days
If I planned ahead I wouldn't be eating instant noodles in the first place!
Stop spying me when I'm cooking!
Could also just be shit memory.
The other day, I saw an article suggesting memory might exist throughout the body and not just in the brain. I suppose your shit might contain memories. You might even call it shit memory. And after you drop a deuce, you may lose some memories. Retention takes on a whole new meaning!
ADHD affects working memory a lot so that checks out.
Take a photo of the instructions.
When you forget to do that, look up the product online, the cooking instructions should be there.
Happened to me more than once...
First panel should be throw it in the trash first, then realize you need the cooking instructions.
Instead of putting it in the trash, why don't you figure out what you can put in the box to reuse or recycle it?
I use pasta boxes to store old pasta boxes. No waste that way, and a great inheritance for my kids.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to reuse or recycle pasta boxes when their composition includes 50% or higher of fictional materials.
