I'm so in awe of everything about your mac & cheese tags, a) wtf, b) how did you discover this, c) you're so valid for this because it is the brand of thing I would notice about something I love and then never shut up about for as long as I live

thank you 🫡 even since i was a kid there were two varieties in my head, presumably just due to random cooking variations, but after living on my own for a while i started thinking it was more than that since you would assume one person would have pretty consistent habits with something they do like 3 times a week lmao. i wondered if they were perhaps made in different locations so i began looking at the boxes to see if there was any difference. it was actually easier than i thought with the printing color because i had imagined it might be like some minor difference in digits somewhere lol

#one time i made pasta roni shells & white cheddar (another favorite) and there was the WRONG SAUCE PACKET #which i was not aware of until after it was made. devastation.#(this was when i was like 15 or something. my dad did smth with it)#my mom actually inquired with the company to see if they changed it #they did Not change it. it was a mistake. and they helpfully (/gen) told her how to make extra sure it was correct in the future #the last few digits of the box barcode are printed on the packet so it should match #there ended up being a second box we had that was wrong but it hasn't been a problem since #i still look at the packets though lol #the adoring public
