Why not put croutons in there and put the whole thing on a spoon?

I had always thought that Mac and Cheese was like the lowest a college student could go. Okay, maybe it's second only to Top Ramen, but I've never had that before (nor do I intend on ever having it, so this is the lowest I fall). I mean how much more simple can it get? Boil water, add noodles, drain, add butter, milk, and cheese powder. And if you are like me, you don't even measure the milk and butter! And it only takes like 15 minutes top! Easy peezy. But apparently not easy enough.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you: Velveeta shells and cheese!!

I'm sure that I'm just behind the times and you've all had it before, but it was on sale the other day so I bought it and decided to make it tonight since I didn't feel like making a real dinner (don't worry Mom, I usually eat really well and healthy! Promise!!) So when I started to make it, I thought for sure that it would be a mac and cheese knock off. That would be a no!! Apparently mac and cheese CAN get easier. Just put all the cheese, milk and butter into once sauce mix! Heaven forbid we need to open the milk AND measure some butter AND rip a packet of cheese powder! Do you know how much time that takes and how much work is required?! I'm pretty sure I pulled a muscle last time I opened the milk. Now with a simple packet filled with a substance that can't decide if it's liquid or solid, I save myself from all that work! Thank you Velveeta! What would the world do without you. Now if only it could all be found in a convenient squeeze bottle. Can life get better? I submit that it cannot!

Oh my gosh. On of my favorite foods of all time. I know you just totally made fun of it, and it is easy, but you also forgot to mention the warm butterflies you got in your stomach when you ate it. It is so good. But it's usually way expensive and I can't afford it... ohhh the sadness. It's probably a good thing. I don't think eating mac n' cheese every day for lunch is a good thing.

This has been on the shelves for over a decade. You have really got to get out more.

Yum! I know what I'm having for lunch! No-name-brand-17-cent mac n' cheese, because I can't afford the fancy kind!

You've never had Top Ramen?! DELICIOUS! :) Haha, it's probably the favorite food for me and my siblings. But my dad is like you and too good for it. Haha :)
