I had not known about Absaroka, the would-be state of the U.S., though I note the article states that its name was pronounced without the second syllable being sounded. (I could see its name becoming a humorous slang-term: "Are you going to the new state?" "Absaroka!") The gates of Hell reminds me of a friend's reaction to the synopsis of the movie "The Sentinel", about a woman who 'learns that her New York apartment contains a gate to Hell.' The friends sighed and said, "It never rains but it pours..." That Kraft created a meal that was a 'non-perishable food item' does not surprise me...
