Kraft Easy Mac Cup
I picked up a Kraft Easy Mac cup on sale for a buck recently at Safeway. It’s about as easy as it gets – just add water, microwave for three minutes, and stir in the cheese powder. The result is pretty much what you would expect from microwaved macaroni and cheese made with cheese powder. Kids, the extremely lazy, and easy-to-please eaters will probably like it just fine but those with more “refined” palates will undoubtedly turn their noses up at it. You won’t mistake if for some fancy-schmantzy six-cheese baked macaroni with shaved truffles but hey, it only cost a dollar and three minutes of your time. I was worried that macaroni would either be cooked too much or too little, but it was cooked just right. I must warn you about the misleading size of the cup. The finished product only fills up about half the cup, which means you may need to eat two or three of them to make a meal. For this packaging deception, Easy Mac cups receive a slightly lower rating.
Phoood rating: 
I would have to agree, these things suck. As for the comment about those who would like them, I would have to disagree....I gave on of these to my 3 year old and he refused to eat it.....and he likes mac and cheese.

She will agree to eat dinner, then start screaming for macaroni and cheese when she sees what dinner is, then eats said dinner while easy mac is cooking, then eats two spoons of easy mac and is happy.

Posted by: Brandon at May 11, 2009 5:27 PMThe three cheese kind is much better than original.
They come out with the weirdest flavors though...cheesy taco? That seriously scares me.
