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

      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.

              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.
