2. You, the lazy college student, can contribute something to the meal. You don't even have to tell people it takes 10 minutes?
3. There are only 110 calories per serving. Although, we all know Thanksgiving calories don't count. Right?
4. You don't even need an oven or stove.
5. It actually tastes so good. You will be sneaking back to the fridge for a second helping (or a third).
