When Kraft announced they were going to remove all artificial ingredients from their Mac & Cheese, there was a huge backlash.
People were going to say it wasn’t the same as their nostalgic childhood mac and cheese. So we launched the new mac & cheese in the old box and didn’t tell anyone it was new for 3 months.
