Talk:Kraft Dinner

Macaroni and cheese

This product is usually referred to (in the US anyway) as Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Mbstone 02:12, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)

• But in Canada it is always Kraft Dinner so this is probably like the color/colour distinction and the status quo should remain. - SimonP 04:31, Mar 11, 2004 (UTC)

I don't know... while I do agree that it is "easy to make", isn't that an objective opinion

Re Cultural References... Because Kraft Dinner is a cheap and easy-to-make staple of the university student diet, it is often used symbolically in student protests, in reference to tuition fees, student loans, and the cost of education generally. Student protests often include a mass meal of Kraft Dinner, or throwing handfuls of macaroni at politicians. -- Lucasb, 28 May 2005

Canada is top per capita consumer

While these are reputable newspapers they don't give primary references. If anyone has a better reference, please add. Thanks. Samw 02:37, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Microwave Directions

I added the microwave directions for the original product to the paragraph on Easy Mac, since the release of that product seems to be the reason they removed the microwave directions. But then somebody who read it thought that I had posted that as the Easy Mac directions, and they removed them on the grounds that they are incorrect.

In fact, the reason I posted them is because there are no microwave directions on the box of the original product anymore... so to avoid further confusion I made that issue its own section.

Very helpfull (if you want to eat this junk) however is this section really encycolpedic? Needs a rewrite.--JK the unwise 17:39, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

I just came here looking for the microwave directions. I think they belong back. In my wikipedia the directions do belong here, but I know I have to share. --Brycem 21:55, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Move to Kraft Macaroni and Cheese

Since Kraft is based in the USA, I think this should be moved there, since it's only known as Kraft Dinner in Canada, IIRC. -- Voretus the Benevolent 21:33, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

No. — CRAZY`(IN)`SANE 21:41, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Why should that matter if it's known as otherwise in the rest of the world? The USA has the most English speakers, but that doesn't mean we should move aluminium to aluminum, as it is spelled with the extra I in most countries. It is not known as Kraft Dinner other than in Canada, so it should be moved. -- Voretus the Benevolent 01:00, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

If you read the article, you will note that Kraft Dinner has a special importance in Canada. Also if you do a Google search "Kraft Dinner" gets considerably more hits than "Kraft Macaroni and Cheese." - SimonP 01:30, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
