Update, September 25, 2020, 11:34 a.m.: Great news for those of you who have spent the past two days pining for pumpkin spice mac & cheese to hit the U.S....are there any of you? Well, either way, Kraft has announced it will be bringing the pumpkin spice love to its blue boxes in America.
Starting today through Tuesday, people in the U.S. can use #PumpkinSpiceKMC #Sweepstakes, as well as tag @KraftMacNCheese on Twitter for a chance to win one of 1,000 limited-edition Pumpkin Spice Kraft Mac & Cheese products.
“After seeing the huge response Pumpkin Spice Mac & Cheese received north of the border, and even hearing some heated debates about it down here, we had to bring it to the U.S. for Americans to try,” said brand manager for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Martina Davis: “Who knows? Maybe it could become a new North American fall favorite.”
I am not sure about that, but you better act quickly if you want to get your hands on a cup!
Original, September 23, 2020, 1:00 p.m.: 'Tis the season for pumpkin spice everything, as you very well know, and as someone who once spent a whole week consuming nothing but pumpkin spice and has heard of every pumpkin spice thing from Spam to deodorant, I thought nothing could faze me anymore...but then along came PUMPKIN SPICE MAC & CHEESE.
Yeah, this monstrosity is coming to you live from The Great White North, where Kraft's iconic blue box macaroni & cheese is known as Kraft Dinner or KD, and is somehow possibly even more beloved than it is in the states. Nevertheless, KD has gone to a dark, dark place this fall, because the company announced that it's giving away pumpkin spice Kraft Dinner.
The mac & cheese will come in cups that resemble coffee cups "with your name written on it (spelled wrong of course)" which seems to be a slam against baristas...cold!! The concoction will be made with classic KD cheese powder with added flavors like hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger.
If you're looking to give it a try, you can get on the online waitlist at PumpkinSpiceKD.com where you'll be notified if you're one of the 1,000 Canadians chosen to try it for free come October. If you're in the U.S. like us, well, get yourself a blue box, sprinkle some pumpkin spice mix into the cheese and make it for yourself if that's something you really want for yourself. Or just eat some mac & cheese and pretend this never happened. Your choice!
