This is a nice find, because while I don't rely on frozen meals day to day, and would rarely spend the money on them, they are convenient, and these being Amy's pretty near delicious and not horrendously life-reducing. I took plenty, but left behind plenty more. Each had been stripped of its UPC code. I presume this has something to do with audits from the distributor or whomever regarding what did and didn't sell. This practice doesn't affect the edibility of a product like these frozen meals, which contain an inner plastic sheath, but that's not true of everything. Milk for example is a liquid and liquids don't remain within the bounds of a container once a 1.5" x 1" rectangle has been cut from it. Needless to say, the milk is poured down the drain before the jugs make it out to the street. I find milk to be a most divine drink, and it saddens me terribly to come upon piles of drained containers, each with a matching puncture wound.
