I think that’s the point. It’s comfort food; if it’s from a box, you can’t screw it up without really trying to. So if you see it on offer, you know it’s going to be decent minimum.

I could not agree more. This has got to be the most overrated and underwhelming dish ever. The first time I saw it in a restaurant menu, I looked at my wife like we were in the fucking twilight zone. “Mac 'n Cheese” 🤮 That shit tastes like over-milked plastic, at best.

Hard disagree. If its real Mac and cheese there’s a thing as too much its really rich. Still really good but thats something you only have as a small side dish at bbqs, or thanks giving where your plate competing for space with 12 other side dishes. Bread crumbs on top drive me wild though. If its store bought in a plastic tub kind of Mac and cheese then it always taste like frozen dinner quality, or something you would get at a buffet for the old people that still some how only costs 7.99, and is exclusively ran by prisoners on work release. I’m with you on that one. that’s the stuff they deep fry at restaurants, and the only acceptable use for the stuff. Box Mac though I could demolish two boxes if I was feeling like a piggy. Can’t go wrong with Velveta cheese sauce kind, but powdered cheese will do. I try not to eat it often because it makes me feel like a child, but it lasts in the pantry and its nice to have easy cheap food around. Buy a flat of them and forget about it.
