At the supermarket, in the shelf of desserts you can find them

Â

Â

In the package you look at the picture of a delicious treat

Â

Â

The instructions seem easy to follow even for the most inexperienced cook

Â

Â

There are some add-on ingredients you have to buy if you want to do it, which you add to your cart

Â

Â

As you walk by the aisle you notice that the components of this dessert seem all but natural

Â

Â

But you think of the taste of it in your mouth and make your best effort to forget its origin

Â

Â

And you buy it

Â

 

Â

At home you add up everything in the specific order and sequence

Â

 

Measured with the precision of a ruler and scale

Â

Â

In the most clean and sterile environment on Earth

Â

Â

And when finished you put it in the oven

Â

Â

To cook at the correct temperature for the correct time that is written

Â

Â

Â

As the timer rings, you open up the door

Â

Â

And you bring the plate out

Â

Â

It is hot and the smell is nice

Â

Â

It does not look anything like the picture on the box

Â

Â

But you hope that the taste corresponds to the image in your mind

Â

Â

So you open up the refrigerator

Â

Â

And let it cool down inside

Â

Â

After dinner you take it out

Â

Â

And eat for dessert

Â

Â

It promised a lot

Â

Â

The taste of a delicacy… which it wasn’t

Â

Â

For the price of a bun… which it was

Â

Â

That would last for 6 servings… which did for two

Â

Â

And that is good

Â

Â

As it is what you get

Â

Â

From an instant pudding
