I thought KD or boxed Mac and Cheese was a Canadian food staple until I read some comments. I personally still crave it occasionally as an adult, I like to add a lot of black pepper.
I’m predicting you’re going to smash all the ones you’re about to try. No boxed mac and cheeses will blow you away, especially if you don’t have the comfort food nostalgia factor of having them as a kid. For any brand of mac and cheese I used to make, I’d add in extra grated cheese and milk to make it super cheesy and creamy. The PC white cheddar brand was always my favourite.
@@rockergirl666 Been eating it all my life and I think it got worse in the last 2-3 years. Also, one time I got an orange cheese packet in mine... that didn't go so well with the spinach and avocado as I had prepared for the PC white lol. I couldn't believe my eyes even though I did in fact buy the right box.
one of the recipes in my house was the mac and cheese and then you mix peas and carrots/ butter that were cooked in the microwave with a can of tuna, combine then serve
You need to try the Annie’s White Cheddar. I don’t like their regular orange kind, but my son LOVES the White Cheddar with shells. I personally like homemade the best, but I also love Kraft Dinner, probably because it reminds me of being a kid 😂
Looked like a mess on your hands with this one. I am still shocked you never had Mac and Cheese before. I thought everyone had it growing up. It was a staple in our house as a kid. It was so easy and quick to make, I remember having it many times. I actually still like it, but do not eat it as much as I did when I was a kid. Well, at least you tried it now :) Have a great weekend!
Hey Jesse.... love your reviews..... have you ever thought of reviewing fried luncheon meats? Like doing fried Spam vs Kam vs Great Value? It may not be on everyone's grocery list every week, but some of us are fans of the taste combined with the convenience and extended shelf life. Just a thought. Cheers from New Brunswick......
Kraft/Annies let sit for a bit and then fry it up in some butter to make it crispy would be a fine addition to your "next day hangover" comparisons, it sounds weird but its oddly tasty that way.
When I have kraft dinner I always put an extra flavour pack in. 1 box gets 2 packets, 2 box gets 3, etc. . End up wasting noodles but it's worth it. Doesn't work with all, I tried it with PC white cheddar mac and cheese and it was too salty.
I've loved macaroni and cheese all my life and still do, so I'm biased. The original Kraft Dinner is still my favourite. I like it cooked an extra minute or two but if you overcook it then you just get mush. PC White Cheddar macaroni and cheese is also good. I don't like a lot of Annie's products because they're overpriced and you're just paying for organic. A lot of the other mac and cheese's are just gimmicks to get kids to want them but are usually passable. I'm looking forward to some great smashes!
I believe most people that like Mac & Cheese mainly do so because of childhood nostalgia. If you are having this as an adult for the first after (I assume) you visited plenty of quality Italian pasta restaurants (even Olive Garden will considered higher end in comparison to boxed Mac & Cheeze lol) this will be insulting.
Hey there! Could you PLEASE review the Presidents Choice White Cheddar Deluxe Macaroni & Cheese Dinner? Its the best boxed mac & cheese I have ever tasted and I want your opinion! Love the vids by the way, keep it up
Is Annie’s box 225g? KD original went from 225g to 200g and costs more. Before the infla/shrinkflation epidemic I had a box of KD and had to shred cheddar cheese into the bowl because the package of dried nuclear orange wasn’t nearly enough as I remember years ago. If you want great Mac n Cheese I combine Terry Cruse Mac n cheesy recipe with a Jack Daniels Mac n cheese recipe and add lobster. You’ll never have Mac n cheese the same again.
Cracker Barrel Oven Baked White Cheddar is one of the best 'boxed' mac I've had, but it's 3x the cost of KD. At least it tastes like something. Walmart White Cheddar is the winner in the cheap mac. Haven't tried any of the other store brands.
Personally I rate the Kraft Dinner Sharp Cheddar the best of the box mac and cheese dinners. I don't know if you know but there is a Cheetos Flamin' Hot you may be interested in.
Annies aged cheddar one is the B O M B. They have a lot more flavour. Wayyyy better than than the classic one. Prediction, Kraft dinners gonna get a 1.5 lol. Velveeta shell are actually good, maybe a 6
Both KD and Annie's are both amazing. It's not a high end pasta place obviously... It does the trick also you need to grow up on it 👊🏼 that is where you went wrong. Def. It for kids it's perfect when your lazy and just want to get the job done. Also add a little valentina or Frank's into it. Delicious
I couldn’t agree more! We aren’t boxed Mac and cheese people, but found Cheetos cheesy jalapeño Mac and cheese and love it! It’s only an occasional treat, but a tasty one!
Since the only time you had mac n cheese was once on your channel before and this is the second time, it might be an acquired taste since you never had it as a kid. So maybe you'll like KD more.
You're not gonna believe this, but the annies gluten-free rice pasta and cheddar. Is actually good. We put some crushed chili pepper flakes in it with some chicken and it's great. Peas deffinately work in mac and cheese.
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese was Kurt Cobain's favorite food. I put dabs of ketchup on it, as a lot of people have grilled cheese with tomato soup. But I hate tomato soup. This is a Mac and tragedy. Your expectations were too high without nostalgia effecting your pallet. Also the greatest crime in Home Alone...was that Kevin never had the chance to enjoy his Kraft Mac n Cheese dinner...
What kind of cyborg has made it to adulthood without ever having mac and cheese, sir? Thoughts on the Jets free agency acquisitions this week with Mike Williams and Tyron Smith? Are we trading up to get Marvin Harrison Jr?
Youre gonna hate me, but kd has new plant based mac and cheese... Ooohoo i almost lost it when you alnost forgot the cross section. Wouldve needed a new phone.
I’ll disagree with this, I loved Annie’s, tastes like the way Kraft dinner used to taste like and looks! Now it’s all this chemical crap you can’t even pronounce while reading the box but I’ll respect your opinion
All the Annie's are bland. The Kraft Dinner will be better. I'm surprised that Walmart's "Great Value" brand is tastier yet, IMO, and its about $0.80/box

Macaroni and cheese is definitely something that you need to approach with lowered expectations but it does make pretty good comfort food.
Cross section was epic
I tried annies this month and thought it was delicious great review
Once a month, I enjoy a good Kraft Dinner upgraded with hot dog sausages.
You are a man of culture.
Also good with ground beef, or tuna if you like it.
@@bagelfart8985 I know, thanks.
You're a legend
Oh, my kids hate annies, its only expensive because its organic. They like the PC white cheddar the best, and i agree
PC brand is the best
They got good taste, the PC white cheddar is the best!
@@Oasys18 See, Jesse, gotta review it now!
one of the recipes in my house was the mac and cheese and then you mix peas and carrots/ butter that were cooked in the microwave with a can of tuna, combine then serve
Casserole
Mac and cheese with tuna and peas and carrots
I had KD all the time when I was a kid, I thought everybody did, I still eat it.
More Hamburger helper at my place.
annies mac a cheese in the oven with breadcrumbs ontop!
meh
Nothing beats Kraft Dinner. I also add Cheez Whiz to it.
That's different, haha
Both Cheez Whiz and Kraft Dinner should be banned...

I have thought of that actually
Boxed mac is for kiddos. Try the Reser’s Main St baked mac n cheese
I have seen that.
Kraft/Annies let sit for a bit and then fry it up in some butter to make it crispy would be a fine addition to your "next day hangover" comparisons, it sounds weird but its oddly tasty that way.
That KD doesn’t stand a chance if you’re scoring Annie’s that low.
Haha
Definitely agree. Shades of pizza pizza! Lol

Good plan
That is a good idea, it really never occurred to me so I think I'll try it some time.
buy the shaker of the cheese powder!

Lot's like this PC white cheddar.
4:10 LOL 🧀🔨😡💥
Throw in a drained can of chunk light tuna and hit it some black pepper 👍🏻 one of my favorite quick meals
Sounds good.
Americans love their mac n cheese (as a side dish). Fun fact: Annie's also invented smartfoot popcorn
Interesting.
if you're smashing annie's box (pun intended), your're gonna smash KD! you get an A for trying it, though.
Haha, thanks again. I can't believe parents give this to kids, so hard to clean up off the floor.
Are you gonna try the "new" A&W Crunchers?
I don't know why they're pushing them now, I've done them all already.
I skip the milk and only add the cheese powder and butter. I find it tastes a lot better
I don't drink milk, I had to buy a little one for this video.
Peas and mac and cheese is epic Jesse. You also need to add salt, pepper and a little hot sauce. You have alot of growing up to do 😂
I believe most people that like Mac & Cheese mainly do so because of childhood nostalgia. If you are having this as an adult for the first after (I assume) you visited plenty of quality Italian pasta restaurants (even Olive Garden will considered higher end in comparison to boxed Mac & Cheeze lol) this will be insulting.
That's how I felt.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Mac n cheese is bomb dude wtf
Haha
Yes, it exploded good when he smashed it!
I cannot trust the palate of a food reviewer that doesn’t like Mac n cheese
Hey there! Could you PLEASE review the Presidents Choice White Cheddar Deluxe Macaroni & Cheese Dinner? Its the best boxed mac & cheese I have ever tasted and I want your opinion! Love the vids by the way, keep it up
I think I have to now.
Ah, what I shame. I love me some Annie's. It's actually better than KD so I predict another smash :)
Can you review the Mary Brown's K Crunch please?
Might do a special Saturday review
Mary Browns K Crunch sandwich is out you should review it. Nobody has a review on it that I have seen.
just did it
Is Annie’s box 225g? KD original went from 225g to 200g and costs more. Before the infla/shrinkflation epidemic I had a box of KD and had to shred cheddar cheese into the bowl because the package of dried nuclear orange wasn’t nearly enough as I remember years ago.

170g
the presidents choice mac and cheeses are really good, they have deluxe cheddar and white cheddar. deluxe is currently my favorite
Other than PC white, Don't you find most of the PC varietals have clumpy cheese? Even worse in the No name versions.
Epic smash!
The presidents choice frozen extra cheesy mac and cheese is definitely the best
Cracker Barrel Oven Baked White Cheddar is one of the best 'boxed' mac I've had, but it's 3x the cost of KD. At least it tastes like something. Walmart White Cheddar is the winner in the cheap mac. Haven't tried any of the other store brands.
Try the kraft dinner one
I will.

Prediction, Kraft dinners gonna get a 1.5 lol. Velveeta shell are actually good, maybe a 6
I always like the older cheeses.
For what it’s worth, the KD version mixes up better. It’s smoother.
Copy
I add veggies to my mac and cheese all the time. Desperate to trick myself into thinking it makes them healthier.
Haha
Good video
You're supposed to mix in some ketchup before you eat it! That 's what gives it a better taste and that's what a lot people do.
I know, I can't for the review.
Incredible smash 🎉🎉🎉🎉😂
I get scared thinking of what the non sale price would be lol
No kidding.
I slice that up if I ever make it. Maybe add some milk and shredded cheese. And I've got a sleeper ingredient!.....Sour Cream!
I dont mind Annie's, not that I eat it ever but I have had it. Its not terrible. Now you have to try craft crap lol
yep.
cant judge a good ol mac a cheese.
Try the white shell cheddar, it’s better
Both KD and Annie's are both amazing. It's not a high end pasta place obviously... It does the trick also you need to grow up on it 👊🏼 that is where you went wrong. Def. It for kids it's perfect when your lazy and just want to get the job done. Also add a little valentina or Frank's into it. Delicious
I would be drowning this in hot sauce.
I couldn’t agree more! We aren’t boxed Mac and cheese people, but found Cheetos cheesy jalapeño Mac and cheese and love it! It’s only an occasional treat, but a tasty one!
I guess I'm doing a bunch of Mac n Cheeses.
No ketchup, won't even bother! lol
haha
We like some of the Annie's flavours, like the aged cheddar. But the "regular" ones, or the fun shapes, are bleh. I heard Kraft bought out Annies.
I saw the fun shapes, what a joke.
Since the only time you had mac n cheese was once on your channel before and this is the second time, it might be an acquired taste since you never had it as a kid. So maybe you'll like KD more.
That's right.
I never ever tried kd or any mac and cheese in a box
🤣😂🤣😂and my daughter says, how dare you!
Haha
White cheddar is the best flavor
I've heard.
The Velveeta shells and cheese is the Cadillac of boxed mac & cheese. The other are garbage.
I've heard.
You're not gonna believe this, but the annies gluten-free rice pasta and cheddar. Is actually good. We put some crushed chili pepper flakes in it with some chicken and it's great. Peas deffinately work in mac and cheese.
I buy the cheetos mac and cheese. It's NEON ORANGE but I love it. I also really like the jalapeno one.
I did see those.
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese was Kurt Cobain's favorite food. I put dabs of ketchup on it, as a lot of people have grilled cheese with tomato soup. But I hate tomato soup. This is a Mac and tragedy. Your expectations were too high without nostalgia effecting your pallet. Also the greatest crime in Home Alone...was that Kevin never had the chance to enjoy his Kraft Mac n Cheese dinner...
I never had the memories.
What kind of cyborg has made it to adulthood without ever having mac and cheese, sir? Thoughts on the Jets free agency acquisitions this week with Mike Williams and Tyron Smith? Are we trading up to get Marvin Harrison Jr?
Mike Williams was horrible, might get 5 games out of him. I think Garrett Wilson will be great already.
Real, scratch made Mac & Cheese blow this boxed powdered trash out of the water
Absolutely.
Try the Cheetos Mac and Cheese, the jalapeno one is pretty good.
Delicious with spicy ketchup. 😂 Tastes even better if you eat it in a trailor 😂
Hahaha
Mac and cheese, especially out of a box, is for kids. Y'all can come for me, but it's weird for adults to be that into this stuff 🤷♂️
It's not the good one, it's just the healthier version of Kraft. Kraft tastes better.
Youre gonna hate me, but kd has new plant based mac and cheese... Ooohoo i almost lost it when you alnost forgot the cross section. Wouldve needed a new phone.
I don't think I would do that.
@@JFRJesse the plant based, or missing a cross section? ;)
I’ll disagree with this, I loved Annie’s, tastes like the way Kraft dinner used to taste like and looks! Now it’s all this chemical crap you can’t even pronounce while reading the box but I’ll respect your opinion
Smashing Mac and cheese is an abomination
Missing the QSR reviews.
I can't do them when I work.
I'd stay with the regular KD.
Loblaw's 😥
All the Annie's are bland. The Kraft Dinner will be better. I'm surprised that Walmart's "Great Value" brand is tastier yet, IMO, and its about $0.80/box
Kraft Dinner is better
Would be funny if you reviewed something very simple for april's fools, like costco's eggs or something, nevertheless, good review Jesse !
Probably not eggs.
@@JFRJesse Yeah haha maybe something even more mundane
Annie’s is overpriced. I go for no name for mac & cheese. the no name version use to sell them in a case of 12.
Kraft is worse lol.
That stuff is poison.
Annies is shitty KD better at least
man, gotta add ham or bacon to make mac and cheese decent. Thats a given
