Moms Are Mad at Kraft for Sexualizing Mac and Cheese, and QAnon Is Also Involved Somehow


Whatever divine, deeply disturbed entity is scripting this season of 2020 appears to have really phoned it in this week, simply reaching into the grab bag of culturally relevant terms to bring us the following Mad Lib of a BuzzFeed headline, first reported Monday:

“Angry Moms And QAnon Believers Attacked Kraft’s ‘Send Noods’ Campaign For Sexualizing Mac ‘N’ Cheese”
Unfortunately, this is not just a nonsensical string of randomly selected words, but rather an actual thing that happened. There’s clearly a lot to unpack here, so let’s dive in.
This week’s chaotic subplot to the broader End of Western Civilization narrative that’s dominated much of 2020 all started with a tongue-in-cheek campaign from Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. The iconic mac and cheese brand has been cheekier in recent months, testing the water with stunty campaigns. A few months ago, Kraft wanted you to eat their signature product for breakfast like a college student and/or depressed adult, and now they want you to send nudes — or rather, “noods.”

Here is the weird story:

Over the years I've seen a dozen chinese takeout places called that all over the US Europe.

People are overreacting.

Again.

There is no ketchup on the Kraft Mac & Cheese. They are missing that vegetable component.
I'm also surprised to hear that college kids would cook something for breakfast. Leftover pizza or a Honey Bun would be more like it.

Actually I think that campaign is clever, not offensive.
