Convenience taken to an extreme

Apparently you can now get pre-packaged, refrigerated breakfast cereal, complete with milk.

I have to ask: why?  Is even just-add-water packaged/flavored oatmeal too hard?  For about 50 cents you can combine your own cereal, milk, and sweetener in a bowl and microwave it for a couple minutes, getting something that’s probably healthier and definitely made the way you like it.  Plus, when you buy in bulk (instead of individually-packaged servings), there’s almost no waste, which is a big plus for the environment.

Sometimes I think we take the idea of convencience “cooking” too far.  What other products have you seen out there that are creating more convenience where none is needed?
