    I’m not picky with food and I’ll eat whatever you put in front of me for the most part, but this was pretty bad. I genuinely have no idea what happened here. The consistency of the sauce and the pasta was fine but it had a really peculiar smell and taste to it, like melted plastic or windex or something. I could only get through about half of it before the taste got to me and I had to toss it out, I even double checked to make sure it wasn’t the actual container melting into the product when it got hot or anything. What a letdown! I’m embarrassed to have paid $7.99 for this.

    This Mac n cheese was so tasty! I love how quick, easy and delicious it was. The serving is large enough to share with my family. The price is higher than most other brands, but it’s worth it for the quality and convenience!

    I'm reviewing a sample I got for free. This is a very tasty version of mac & cheese - enjoyed the flavor and texture; also super easy to prepare. The one criticism I have is I wish they could tinker with the recipe to bring the saturated fat and sodium down - as it is, this is too high in both categories for me to enjoy regularly.
