What the Fuck is going on here!?!



Why does Canada call their shitty mac and cheese Kraft Dinner? They also like to put ketchup or sometimes catsup on top of it. Needless to say this discovery has ruined my day and quite possibly my month.

"Kraft Dinner revolves in that all-but-unobtainable orbit of the Tim Hortons doughnut and the A&W Teen Burger. It is one of that great trinity of quick digestibles that have been enrolled as genuine Canadian cultural icons."


They're eating teens! What the fuck!

In France, they call it the A&W Royale, because of the metric system.

That's right. The metric system.




























Disclaimer in case of word police alert intervention: Dr. Strange is not to my knowledge a motherfucker at this time, nor has he ever been one in the past. This is a play on dialog from the movie "Pulp Fiction".

Of course, the ironic thing is that Canada also uses the metric system, so really, what was France thinking?

whereas in America, an entire box of mac-n-cheese does not constitute a full dinner

Oh, wait... boxed food.

Doesn't Kraft make the Rainbow Oreos that have the Million Bored Moms in a lather? Eat Oreos, and mac and "cheese"!
