Since the past post was a bit deep and one needs a lot of caffeine to appreciate, here’s a post one only needs eyeballs for. And maybe an interest in font sizes or packaging design. Or recipes and food. Or chemicals, yikes.

When I was a graphics designer in 1973, I learned to never use a font size under 4 pt and very rarely, because that was the smallest most people can read. Packaging has gone crazy with labels that maybe have the main label 12 pt and all the rest 9 pt to 4. I’m sure it’s not only older people who struggle. Jimmy Dean packages are the worst I’ve seen. For microwaveable breakfast muffins a transparent package with the tiniest of words.

And I’d like to know how their test kitchens thought exactly 90 seconds at 30% the first heating and then exactly 55 seconds on high the next heating would be best. How many people using a microwave will use a defrost setting or even know what a 30% setting is? Look for the tiny red 4 pt type at the lower end.

For that matter, a “high” power varies quite a bit. But the manufacturer sure does know 90 seconds, then 55 seconds is right. And 1-2 minutes resting. FYI, this family tried these and now 9 remain in the freezer. It’s been 3 months. Who wants to go to all this work when we are usually on a hurry.
