>Older people don't like mac and cheese
Clearly not true. It's a cheap and easy staple food that people of all ages eat, and if anything, the age demographic that really stands out is young adults. You could also tell that's the case because of all the "deluxe" Cracker Barrel type brands that have come out in recent years. That's not marketing for kids, it's marketing for adults who want fancier macaroni and cheese. These aren't packaged with a bunch of cartoon animals and vibrant colors. They're packaged with stylistic minimalism and focus on things like the macaroni texture, quality credentials ("award winning"), and an understated shot of a couple nice looking cheese off squares at the bottom left of the macaroni.

It clearly isn't. It's a cheap and easy staple food that people of all ages eat, and if anything, the age demographic that really stands out is young adults.

They're packaged with stylistic minimalism and focus on things like the macaroni texture, quality credentials ("award winning"), and an understated shot of a couple nice looking cheese off squares at the bottom left of the macaroni. This sort of marketing would not exist if the demographic data these companies have been collecting agreed with your claim that only children were consuming macaroni and cheese at a high rate. You don't see new products like that launched across the board by all the major brands just to try to increase a low rate demographic's consumption. You want to increase consumption, but you also want some guarantee that the consumers you're going after are already buying more than average so you don't invest tons of money into a failure.
