Congrats! That's quite an accomplishment.

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

And the box looks very happy about it. Good job

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!

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.

Now open it anyway to get the yummy cheese out

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

How you planning on getting that cheese packet?

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 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.

Nice. It triggers pareidolia for me, the smiling box has a pair of eyes on top.

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.

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