Nuclear Orange Dust (and not the Cheetoh dust, the og mac dust) and bigger fatter noodles (that late 90s skinnier noodles trash is what ruined it for me, texture ruined, etc...)

But Annies wins the flavor contest (at least with the cheese sauce pouch, not the Kraft dust kind)...

Annie's is a close second in the dry-packet, to Goodles (which cook slightly faster, and are gluten-free). Both are winners.

My tip: Immediately after draining, I mix in a beaten raw egg to coat the noodles and make them a tad creamier in mouthfeel - regardless of brand. The noodle heat soft-cooks the egg.

Whole lotta foods in that snack food group seem to use the same hot dog water flavored spice.

Kraft Mac n Cheese, let’s just say the same cemented consistency it turns into after an hour sitting in the dirty dishes is not far off from the physical state it reaches inside the digestive tract.

How do you know that?

Warning: of all the powdered Mac and cheese brands, Annie's had the highest micro plastic content.

[IAmBroom]

I eat a fair bit of mac&cheese, and I'll bet it's still not 1% of my micro plastic intake. From what I can see, they're still not even twice the content of Kraft.
