    Not even just regular recipes that get the time wrong, my microwaveable ramen bowls say “ready in 3 minutes” But microwaving for 3 minutes is the third step in the instructions, which then go on to tell you to let it stand for 1 minute before adding the last spice packet. It can’t be ready in 3 minutes unless I somehow break the laws of time or physics. I know it’s the most trivial peeve, but would it hurt them to say ready in 5 minutes?
