On the Microwaving of Bagel Bites

sniffnoyOK. I love Bagel Bites. These things are great. If I'm looking for something to eat for lunch, and we have any in the house, I *will* eat them. But whoever makes them needs to learn that different sizes of boxes are different.
The directions on the back say to microwave it for 4:30 on medium, placed on top of the empty box. Normally this is not a problem. However, today I found that my mom had not the usual 9-packs, but special 18-packs, each twice the size and containing two little trays of 9. I looked at the directions on the back. They were exactly the same.
So, were I to follow these instructions, I would be microwaving my Bagel Bites on a platform of twice the ordinary height, with another thing of Bagel Bites inside, which I would certainly not want to have microwaved (although I suppose I could remove them and put them somewhere else during the microwaving).
In truth, this is not the first time this has happened, so I did what I always do, which is to assume that the height doesn't really matter and microwaved them with no support at all, and, indeed, they turned out fine. But they still need to learn to put appropriate directions on the different boxes.
