It’s like Oreos. I think it’s things that are cultural. You probably can’t get into it once your taste has already been shaped. But if you grew up with it, it’s different. We probably all have such things at home. Although typically not from the horrifying US big food conglomerates, which maybe makes them a bit less atrocious.
I can’t understand why Americans love industrialized cheese so much. It’s horribly, full of salt. Unbearable!
Make yourself some home made Mac and Cheese someday. Then make sure to burn the recipe so you can save yourself from that daily temptation.
Edit to add, whatever you do. Don’t add chili. Real ChiliMac is a level 5 paranormal entity that will haunt you the rest of your life.
I can’t understand how non-Americans have gone their entire lives without witnessing macaroni and cheese that exists outside of Kraft.
But isn’t that the most popular one?
It’s cheap.
Yeah but it’s the most popular one right?
What’s your point?
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.
So are the other forms more popular or is boxed the one people make more often?
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.
