I live in Kansas in the U.S. & I wish we had "to go" & surprise bags here. Not only for all the good reasons you mentioned at the start of the video but also because it kind of forces you out of your comfort zone & makes you get creative in the kitchen & cook foods you normally wouldn't. To me, getting one would be fun!

I used to put individual yogurt containers in the freezer. Kids loved it when id put the yogurts in their school lunches. it would melt enough to be easy to eat. They would also just eat it frozen at home. It prolonged the life of the yogurt.

If you slip paper towels in the bread and roll packages before you freeze them, they will absorb the moisture. Also open the package up while defrosting.

If its buns out the freezer, after defrosting I wrap them in greaseproof paper and put in the air fryer for a few seconds, it usually gets rid of any wet spots.

Its a legal requirement to list mechanically separated meat in ingredients list as its obtained by centrifuging carcasses and bones to strip the meat scraps, meaning the meat fibres are denatured to a sort of sludge, so it cant just be called chicken, pork or whatever as that implies its muscle meat.
