I just searched Costco website and no 27 lb bucket found. I feel betrayed.

[–] jeffw 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All the news article are like 5 years old. It’s long gone

[–] cone_zombie 49 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Joke's on you, I'm still eating mine

[–] jeffw 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The news article said it had a decades-long shelf life… which is disturbing

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

It's just dry pasta and cheese-like powder. Yeah, that "cheese" is a lie, but the pasta will naturally be fine for that time period.

$200 for 240 servings. That isn't even a good deal. A box of Kraft is a buck and contains 2.5 servings per box.

If you buy this bucket, it'll cost you approx 83¢ per serving. Kraft is 40¢ per serving. So if you want an assload of mac and cheese, it's more economical to just buy 96 boxes of Kraft instead and save yourself $144.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

You cant go by "serving sizes" to compare things like that, because serving sizes are fairly arbitrary and can are likely measured differently between products. You'd have to compare by net weight.

This lists the net weight as 27.1 pounds, or about 433 ozs. A box of kraft is 7.5 oz net weight, or in other words it's almost 58 total boxes of craft Mac and cheese. Which makes things way more in Kraft's favor.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I think you made a mistype there. A box of KD contains exactly one serving. No more, no less, and I refuse to countenance any further discussion on the matter, thank you sir, madam, or else-wise!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Also I didn't factor in the fact that Kraft requires butter, while this stuff might not. Even then, I'm still confident that this bucket is a bad deal.

[–] beefcat 1 points 1 year ago

it looks like the cheese in here is already in sauce form, so you do not need to provide milk and butter like with the kraft option. it’s also why this weighs 27 lbs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It says that 3 servings have 660 calories. So if you want to make an actual meal out of this, you need at least 3 servings. That makes it even less of a good deal.

[–] Delphia 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not going to lie, I want to buy this for the novelty just once.

[–] Selmafudd 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why stop with just one bucket? I reckon 12-15 should fill a bathtub

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart 11 points 1 year ago

Hire a couple strippers and have them wrestle in a kiddie pool filled with Costco mac and cheese.

[–] Krudler 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Buy a pail from a mom-and-pop burger shop and print your own label.

Fuck, I can't imagine what a hilarious conversation piece that would be lol... actually think I'm going to do something like this just to make my friends guffaw

[–] Delphia 2 points 1 year ago

I'm actually thinking it would be an amazing addition to the work Xmas party.

For when you're tired of being regular and would like a break from all the pooping.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But Lemmy users poop only every 3 days, remember?

[–] cone_zombie 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh, and here I was wondering why I've been having constipation problems since I joined

mmmmm thirty year old tacos

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Powdered cheese or gooey cheese?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm not big into Mac and cheese on account of the lactose intolerance. But I discovered that my version of this bucket is a 2 gallon bucket of lingon berry jam that's sold on Amazon.

[–] Tangent5280 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

how long does it last you?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Depends on how often I make crepes. I usually split it into smaller containers and freeze it so it lasts me about a year.

I bet LA Beast could eat 3 of them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Just one? You on a diet?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean why not? You buy like a sack of rice that you scoop from, why can't you buy a bucket of macaroni to scoop from?

[–] SecretSauces 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I figure trying to fish out the macaroni from the cheese pool would start getting a little difficult mid-way through

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This doesn't appear to be ready to eat directly from the bucket. The bucket is just a very large box for the pasta and packs of cheese powder.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA 1 points 1 year ago

Well then why the fuck would I get a bucket of food

[–] Smacks 6 points 1 year ago

I saw this on Amazon but they aren't selling it anymore

[–] Viking_Hippie 5 points 1 year ago

I definitely would.

Immediately thought of this video. Is there a /c/nottimanderic ?

Don't even cook it first. Just bring the bucket.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Finally the round meal has a competitor. But men does this bucket serve?
