Heh… Did you know the goal is to rip off the entire top and that’s your starting point? Your mission has only just begun

Yeah I just thought--wait, now that you've done this, how are you going to get the cheese packet out of there?

This explains everything.

Instructions unclear. Burnt myself pouring boiling water into the hole.

There's your problem, you pour water into the box and then you boil it.

4 tbsp of butter?! I don't recall it being that much.

Edit : just checked and in Canada it calls for 1 tbsp. Apparently the American version doesn't include real cheddar or butter in the mix, interesting!

I would be willing to send you some Canadian KD without reciprocation. I like ours better. Tried the US stuff when I was in CT. THANKS BUT NO THANKS. I can probably ship it from CT after I import it through US Pre-Clearance at Pearson Intl. next month. I used to do the same with Cherry Coke and Vanilla Coke, until they finally started selling it here.

Which reminds me... I need to stock up on Foxon Park Birch Beer while I'm in CT next month. That stuff is virtually impossible to get here in Canada.

That seems like a bunch of trouble on your part. I wish I could send you the beer, but I'm in CA and I've never seen that beer.

It wasn't always 1 Tbps of butter. I am 100% sure that it used to be 3 Tbps of butter in Canada. The recipe definitely changed at some point.

Jarl_Xar t1_iy4wk1z wrote

I think your right it called for a 1/4 cup at some point.

100%! 1/4 cup of milk 3 Tbps of butter. I never stopped making it this way.

KD is so much better! I stock up whenever I visit

I also only recall one tablespoon and specifically margarine, it even recommends adding milk usually. I didn’t find this out until, still as a kid, I would go over my cousins and they would add margarine and milk. My mom had never done that, I later realized it was because she was lazy.

I would expect the Canadian version to be the best since they invented it and love it most. If Kraft tried to pass off the cheaper version on y'all there would be rioting in the streets.

SteveStSteve t1_iy3ph0x wrote

That’s the ‘classic prep’, aka, the tasty prep. They have the healthy version on the other side that uses less milk and butter

BoomBoom_99 t1_iy2mm82 wrote

Tbsp might be different in Canada vs USA, or maybe it’s metric system sabotage.. something smells fishy

Jarl_Xar t1_iy4xnxh wrote

I believe at some point they added the milk whey and dried butter/cheese to the sauce packet, at least in Canada, in America I believe they still do not use cheddar but just dried whey.

I normally tear the top off like a can of sardines, but this time the perforations gave way- I was actually speechless for a second or two.

You’re still supposed to rip the top off, the hole is just meant to be the start of that rip

Rhodog1234 t1_iy2nmls wrote

I think you have to prove you can open a store brand of a sugary cereal, the bag inside ( without a single tear) , and the top in such a way as the flap actually inserts and secures ( also without a rip or tear ) before a coronation can occur.

The ancient prophecies have foretold of a being that would be able to open a box of mac and cheese as intended, and now that day has come. Soon you will rule the world.

dark_LUEshi t1_iy2h9zg wrote

it was probably an idea at some point, and the knife on the machine was very sharp and made easily openable boxes, but I guess there was a complaint about the integrity of the box, or it having holes, that over time they let the machine(s) blade go dull so the thing is barely useable. Might also be due to a different cardboard composition than the original one, but I think it's mostly a dull blade on the machine, there would probably be complaints if they put in a new blade.

Yeah but now the flap is going to block anything from coming out.

Meh. How bad can powdered cheese and dried pasta go?

The cheese can definitely go bad. About two months after the Best Before date and that cheese is no good. The pasta is still good though. Only speaking for KD.

AvalonWinter0224 t1_iy32uic wrote

Is it bad that I looked at this and thought "Why did he make a door?" Only to check my own box and realize that's actually what you're supposed to do.

Now you have to get the cheese packet out of that same hole! Has never made sense to me to have that side opening when you have to rip it open regardless…

I make an honest effort every time. Each time it completely destroys the box instead of tearing on the perforation.

Same. It finally paid off on what I’d guess is probably box #500 or so.
