Funnily enough, in my experience, many folks who have whispered "you can just make [x] at home" in my ear do not make [x] or even [a-z] at home.
Shoutouts to the folks that eat their words (positive) though! 😌

firebombing walmart tweet but cooking :P also hell yeah. if i like something enough, i learn to make it! Or if i don't trust the maker (the homophobic chicken)
"You can make X at home" just means they are cheap and bad at cooking not that they make X at all.
I'm a tryhard who often does make [x] at home and that is exactly WHY I don't say that shit to people! Making [x], [a-w], [y], and [z] is hard!
Honestly, I don't think you can make Cane's chicken at home. My wife has gotten it a few times and I can't make out any sort of taste with their chicken or fries. Feels like I've got a weird styrofoam, packing peanuts, and tofu combo in my mouth. 😅
I'm the sicko who says "you can probably make [x] yourself... now I want to make it myself." Then I spend weeks experimenting with recipes and techniques. I compile all my notes into a presentable format, so the next time that someone goes "I am craving [x], but it's so expensive/too far," I can offer them my knowledge. Do they go on to make it themselves afterwards? Usually not, but it's more food knowledge for me and I had fun with it.
