No. Animal or Pokémon shapes taste better

[Anonymous No.17673790]

>>17673783
What Pokemon do you think would taste the best? I mean, I already want to try Squirtle for turtle soup. Also, lol for google auto-correcting and capitalizing Squirtle.

objectively wrong

the spiral just represents your twisted mind and thats why you gravitate towards it. get right mentally and you will see that the traditional mac is the best

I never really understood why they shilled Poliwhirl back in the Gen 1 days.
Pikachu I can understand, because it's the mascot.
Charmander and Squirtle I can understand, because that's what you start with in the games, and the protagonist of the TV series has them.
Meowth I can understand, because he's one of the antagonists of the show.
Even Jigglypuff I can understand, because it's a playable character in Super Smash Bros, it's a recurring character in the TV series, and it's a cute pink character for the female demographic.

But I don't get Poliwhirl. I don't think it was ever popular with the fanbase. None of the main characters in the TV show had it (except Misty, but by the time her Poliwag evolved, Gen 2 had already started). But there was a lot of Poliwhirl merchandise sold in the west, and a lot of Poliwhirl presence in western marketing. I don't get it.

To me it just seems like they overdid it. Kids don't ask for much, they just want mac & cheese. They don't need any special flavors, they already got what they want. Granted, a more mature palate may appreciate these flavors, but we really aren't the target demographic.

They still sell them in my local store, though I think only the herb and buffalo varieties are available

Boxed mac is pretty child-tier, but it can be made way better into actual adult food. Imagine ordering mac and cheese with your steak dinner and getting boxed mac.

[Anonymous No.17677136]

>>17677099
Come to think of it, there isn't much of a difference in cooking either kind, is there?

>boil & drain pasta
>add butter, milk, and cheese & stir
The biggest difference I can think of is that you use real cheese for the proper version, and the bright yellow powder for the boxed version.
You might add bread crumbs on top of the proper version & bake it, but not everyone does that.

For me it’s

The difference between cheese powder and actual cheese is pretty staggering. Not much can be done about the pasta; pasta is pasta. Butter makes everything taste better. The milk is turned into a bechamel in some versions. Etc.

A number of years ago, my parents gave away boxes of macaroni & cheese to trick-or-treaters on Halloween, instead of regular candy. They told me that the stores ran out of candy, so my dad purchased a few cases of mac & cheese to give out instead. It was ridiculous yet kind of brilliant.

Anyone ever try Cheetos Mac & Cheese? I've tried all three versions, and I find that the jalapeno version is actually spicier than the Flamin' Hot version. The Flamin' Hot version also looks kind of gross. It's not really a vibrant shade of red, it actually looks a lot closer to pink. The regular version is pretty good in its own right, though; it tastes exactly like the Cheetos snack, right down to the corn base.
