I can't understand how non-Americans have gone their entire lives without witnessing macaroni and cheese that exists outside of Kraft.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

But isn't that the most popular one?

Yeah but it's the most popular one right?

If it's the most popular one then it makes sense others would of course associate you with that one.

The most popular boxed mac n cheese, again boxed mac n cheese is not the only kind to exist.

That would be like associating all Ramen with 'Top Ramen'. Does that put in perspective how wrong* what you're suggesting is?

*Edit: I'm trying to be nicer.

The most popular boxed mac n cheese, again boxed mac n cheese is not the only kind to exist.

So are the other forms more popular or is boxed the one people make more often?

That would be like associating all Ramen with ‘Top Ramen’.

So, exactly what people do..? lol. If it's by and far the most popular option then of course people are going to associate the generic term with that.

There is a place nearby where you can buy 5 boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese for $5. Used to be a box for $.50-75.

When your next stubbed toe could require you to sell an organ, cheap Kraft seems perfect.

Maccaroni and cheese were really meant to be Käsespätzle but for some reason didn't.

Look at Mr moneybags over here putting bacon and onions in his pasta and cheese

Don't kid yourself. Many of us make our own with real cheese.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

So do many Americans, and yet I didn't invoke their name first.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

But was the cheese made in America?

Checkmate American.

brother I'm American and I didn't even know you could buy waffle maker machines until a few months ago, I thought they were all frozen

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Need more context: Are you also 15? If so then this might be acceptable anywhere.

But... how'd you think the got made? Had you never had a decent one at a restaurant?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It puts the homemade chilimac into the waffle iron

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

You deserve the hose for this, because now I can't stop thinking about it.

They have unlocked the secrets of the waffle melange!
