Have I ever had Hamburger Helper? Absolutely. Am I ashamed to admit that I eat it even if my kids aren’t there for dinner? Also yes. Am I willing to accept this increase in sales as a good sign for the economy and America in general, so much so that it’s worth smiling about through a news report? Hard no.
Same goes for the angry people of Twitter.

I can’t believe they’re literally applauding this. This means that people are hurting horribly!

This isn’t a flex or a fun return to nostalgia, it’s a recession indicator. https://t.co/TYSHrOs1yf

When I was a little kid, we were poor and on food stamps, and we ate plenty of Hamburger Helper.
The fact that it’s surging now isn’t good news, folks.

The way this economy is going, we’re going to have to ditch the hamburger and go straight to the helper.
But at least we can rest easy knowing that our President will soon be enjoying his $250M ballroom.
