Minute Rice...a pipe dream??

As a lover of Chinese food (both "storebought"- meaning restaurant, fast food and LaChoy - and homemade, as I do own a stir fry pan,) I am a frequent user of a brand of instant rice called, ya yabetcha, Minute Rice. Now, not too long ago I go to reading the label and I found a discrepency in the wording of the cooking instructions versus the front of the box. If you make a 2 serving size bowl in the microwave you are instructed to nuke that mother for 6 minutes. However, according to the front of the box, it cooks in 5 minutes!! Is General Foods in cahoots with national power companies for higher usage?? What's the freaking deal?????
