Remember colored ketchup? Back in the 90s, Heinz EZ-squirt in all kinds of fun colors was trying to top the market.
It was moderately successful, with fun shades like purple showing up to make your fries look like a 90s kid's dream color pallete.

But now it's 2021, and Kraft has come up with an idea of colored mac and cheese, which sounds innocent enough, until you see it.
This Valentine’s Day, we’re giving 1,000 lucky lovebirds the chance to turn their mac and cheese into sweet, pink… https://t.co/FlNlgtcRr1— Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (@Kraft Macaroni & Cheese) 1611756033.0
Yup, that's right.
It is a shade of pink unlike anything ever seen in the world of cheesy pasta before. And it is also, apparently, CANDY-FLAVORED.
1,000 lucky (‽‽) people are being given the chance to turn their Kraft macaroni and cheese into this candy mac and cheese, and folks are, uh....unsure how to feel.
No one: @kraftmacncheese: let’s make mac and cheese pink and taste like candy 🍭 https://t.co/sPHBZFGPaX— kaylenbusch (@kaylenbusch) 1611847715.0

that pink candy mac and cheese is really up there as one of the most wretched things conceived by human innovation— meow-gan 🐉 (@meow-gan 🐉) 1611895219.0
The powder contains beetroot and carrot concentrates for the color of the powder.
For the flavor, the powder contains fructose, natural flavors and vanilla extract.

the kraft candy flavored pink mac and cheese feels like an elaborate metaphor that I’d see in a free verse poem... god I’m so tempted— Catie Wiley (@Catie Wiley) 1611890662.0
