Summary: 

a) I highly recommend Knorr soups as well - if you like Oxtail soup (few
   people do, unfortunately), theirs is one of the best around.

b) I once made an idle boast to my then-fiance' that I would cook her anything
   she wanted for dinner.  She requested one of her all-time anytime
   favorites -- Eggs Benedict.  I confidently replied, "You got it -- I'll
   go get what I need from Kroger," and sauntered out of the apartment.  The
   moment I was out of sight I started doing a Texas Chainsaw number on my
   fingernails -- she was an Eggs Benedict connoisseur and I hadn't the
   slightest idea how to make hollandaise sauce.

   Knorr to the rescue!  I bought one of their packets, took it home with
   the fresh Canadian bacon and fresh muffins, dawdled in the kitchen for a
   while trying to appear extremely busy, then made the one-minute sauce.
   She not only raved about the resulting Eggs Benedict, but "forced" me
   to make it several more times and bragged about it to our friends.

   Of course, a guilty conscience (coupled with a carelessly discarded sauce
   packet) one day made me confess my methods, but she still swears that it
   is the best sauce she has ever tasted (outside of Bookbinder's in Phila-
   delphia, of course).

God help those who use margarine or pseudo-I-Can't-Believe-It-Ain't-Butter
when a recipe calls for butter, for they know not the error of their ways,
