The Atria Dinner ad proves men have the ability to whip up a delicious meal in seconds. The only catch is that this boyfriend simply created the impression of preparing a dinner, when in reality he microwaved an Atria ready-made meal.
Instead of preparing the meal, the boyfriend organized props, including dirty dishes, a used cutting board, smoking pots and a counter full of raw food items so that his woman could see all the work he didn't do. The last item the girlfriend sees is a tasty prepared meal, so the "mess" was all worth it.
The Atria Dinner ad may have just made the stereotypical man's life a little (or a lot) easier.
