"What's striking is how artificial the powder is," he said. "It was a subject for many consumers. "It made you wonder whether that thing actually glowed in the dark."[/quote] RIP Childhood meal.

Who cares what colour it is as long as it tastes the same. I also thought that Canadian Kraft Dinner was much healthier than American Macaroni & Cheese? Maybe that was just propaganda. I know I saw a how it's made kind of show that showed that there was a good amount of real cheese in the powder though, and when you read the box it is healthy enough.

they better not remove the artificial flavors that shit was tight
NO THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING. NOOOO ;_;
So what color [I]will[/I] it be? I love me some Kraft macaroni.
I'd rather have your typical beige-cream coloured cheese sauce, than the bright yellow stuff they have on Kraft dinner. Also find it weird how American ice cream is pure white, rather than yellow.
Macaroni for dinner, then making a grilled cheese sandwich the next day with the leftovers is gooooooood stuff

Why not use cheddar cheese sauce? It'll still be yellow.
If it tastes the same, the removal of coloring would get more people to buy KD.

I'll miss it. But it will just remind me of that white cheddar Kraft Dinner, without the taste of it.
[QUOTE=dedo678;47564102]Why not use cheddar cheese sauce?

Natural cheese tends to be somewhere in between white and soft yellow, depending on the variety, but neon orange blocks of cheddar and American are all artificial. A cheese sauce made with natural cheddar ought to look like the picture Chains posted.
I feel like the people who are buying this don't care about whether its artificial or not I eat it on occasion because it is tasty, not stupidly unhealthy, and quick to make.
aw fuck I just had some kd quite frankly i hate this shit but i keep eating it because i'm a) canadian and b) too lazy to go out and buy some actual food.
I love KD but I became allergic to the cheese dust :(
I can hear the cries from my brothers to the north from here.
Aw what the fuck?!
[QUOTE=Corndog Ninja;47563994]So what color [I]will[/I] it be?[/QUOTE] Neon green
I love KD, but I'm a poor college student so I get the NoName brand stuff.
Eh, as long as it still functions as exam fuel/drunk food.
No Name (Loblaws store brand) mac and cheese used to have pink powder that turned orange when it touched milk That's how you knew it was premium
I've never had Kraft Mac until a few months ago. Smells awful and tastes even worst. I could understand the sentiment. My childhood mac & cheese is Michelina's Microwave M&C and I understand it's not real m&c but kraft doesn't even make good fake m&c.

Really can't stand all those OMG ORGANIC FREE-RANGE NO-GMO NO ANTIBIOTIC hipster crap, they literally want agriculture to return to pre-1900 farming practices, which would cause food prices to sour if every company were forced to do that.

They're literally just changing the coloring used in their instant mac and cheese.

Better start stocking up on my artifical yellow "cheese" before them hipsters take it.
