Dear parents of the world, an extreme dilemma has been brought to my attention latelyy.
Problem: My mother just does not understand my macaroni needs as a teenager.
Example A:
Setting: Grocery Store, Macaroni Isle.
Here's how it went down:
Mom: Erin were out of mac and cheese could you go grab a few boxes
Me: Of course my wonderful mother, I always do as you ask.
(I bring back 2 boxes of delightfully shaped (Toy Story and Spongebob) Kraft Macaroni and Cheese)
Mom: Why didn't you just get the regular kind
Me: These taste better
Mom: No blah blah they taste the same blah
The thing is, parents neglect to believe that shapes taste better because they are either class A fun suckers, or they were raised in a separate dimension where things that taste good are a sin. However I believe that they are wrong because there are several solid facts proving that they really are the better choice.
#1: Because they are shaped like Buzz Lightyear or Spongebob (ect. ect.) instead of boring curved tubes they hold the cheese better giving you a more satisfying amount of cheese with every bite.
#2: They are more fun to eat because you can pretend you are a giant eating little tiny people
#3 (parents should like this one) They use more of a whole grain blend to make the noodles which is healthier and helps them hold their shape.
Thus, in conclusion, my mother has either been brainwashed by martians into believing lies that they taste the same, or she is just a fun sucking jerk ball.
However, in recent days since the incident, her attitude towards the subject has improved. I may again be able to accept her as my mother if things continue to move in a positive direction.
Case clear. I win.
Though this is an old post, I will still comment because it deserves a nice comment. Your facts on mac & cheese were awesome and completly true. The original mac and cheese can get soggy and won't hold the cheese as well as the shaped mac & cheese. The shaped mac & cheese is sturdier So it doesn't taste like soggy baby food.
