Uncle Ben's Ready Rice Cheddar Broccoli Flavored Rice, 8.5 oz

Awful taste! I've tried many brands of cheddar broccoli rice and this one was by far, the worst that I've ever tried! In fact, it was actually inedible without completely "doctoring" it up! I followed the directions and grabbed the pouch where it said "cool touch" and I still got burnt!

I purchased this for the first time yesterday when my typical brand of cheddar broccoli rice was out of stock. I figured Uncle Ben's was a fairly reputable brand and should be an acceptable substitute. But boy was I wrong. First, the smell was off, and the color was an odd brownish tone you don't ever expect from rice. It was mush from the start. The taste was both simultaneously bland and horrible, which I never thought was possible. Attempts to doctor it failed and I threw it away. Who knew rice could ever taste that bad?
