> I get the nostalgic aspect. While you may understand the nostalgic aspect from a logical level, I don't think you understand it beyond that. This next line: > But it's not like there aren't a zillion from-scratch brownie recipes to choose from. To me anyways really indicates that. I know there are a zillion from-scratch recipes online and in books and in other media. That isn't the point. > If throwing away some extra premix destroys the pleasure, then that's a low bar. Once again, I think you are totally missing the point. I think this captures why it's a big deal: [VIDEO] Betty Crocker is effectively doing that. Without understanding it at more of emotional level, I can see why this doesn't resonate with you. Unfortunately, that also means it is unlikely that you will able to understand why it is a big deal and why other folks are arguing with you the way they are.
