00:00Let's find out which box mac and cheese tastes the best.
00:03First up, the classic Kraft macaroni and cheese.
00:05Typically, I like to add a little salt to this one,
00:07but we're not changing anything.
00:09It just brings me joy.
00:10For the cheesiness, I'm going to give it a 7.
00:11There's a lot of flavor.
00:12The creaminess has never really been there for me,
00:14so I'm going to give it a 4.
00:16And then the noodles, I'm going to give the noodles a 6.
00:18They don't hold a lot of creaminess.
00:20Next up, Kraft mac and cheese deluxe.
00:23The flavor feels off.
00:24It doesn't taste like cheese to me.
00:26I'm going to give the cheesiness a 2.
00:28It's creamy.
00:29I'll give it a 6 for creaminess.
00:30Noodles an 8.
00:31It holds everything it needs to hold.
00:33Next.
00:33Now we're trying Goodles.
00:34The creaminess on this is looking really good.
00:38I would say there's too much cheesiness.
00:40That's a lot of salt.
00:41I'm going to give this a 2.
00:42This is the kind of creamy I'm looking for in my mac and cheese.
00:44For creamy, I'm going to give it a 9.
00:45Shells will always be a win for me,
00:46so I'm going to give the shells a 7.
00:48I'm going to need water.
00:49Next is good ol' Annie's.
00:51I don't know what's up with the salt content.
00:53For the cheesiness, I'm going to give it a 6.
00:55It's a little salty.
00:56For the creaminess, I'm going to give it a 10.
00:57It's not too runny.
00:58It's not too thick.
00:59I'm going to give the shells a 7.
01:00It's a good noodle.
01:01I love a shell because it carries all the cheese
01:02like little bitty cups.
01:03Now we're trying Better Goods plant-based mac and cheese.
01:06This is our first white cheddar macaroni.
01:09Oh, that's bad.
01:10That tastes like the box.
01:11It smells like the box.
01:12Imagine.
01:13I'm giving it a 0 on cheese.
01:15I'm giving it a 0 on creaminess.
01:16The only thing good about that is I like the noodle.
01:18It's like a half of a twist.
01:19The noodle score is a 10.
01:21Spicing things up a little bit with this Tapatio mac and cheese.
01:23It looks more like a pasta salad.
01:26I like it.
01:26The cheese flavor is a bit more authentic.
01:29I'm going to give it a 9 on cheesiness.
01:30It could be creamier.
01:31I'm going to give the creaminess a 4.
01:32It looks cold.
01:33Good macaroni.
01:34Give the noodles a 7.
01:35It is a little spicy, so I don't think I would serve this to my kids.
01:37Last but maybe not least, Cracker Barrel mac and cheese.
01:41That cheddar is sharp.
01:42Cheesiness.
01:43It's a 9.
01:44Creaminess.
01:44It's pretty good.
01:45I'm going to give the creamy a 9.
01:46The noodles are kind of like a hybrid between a regular macaroni
01:48and that last plant-based noodle, which is good.
01:51I'm going to give these a 7 as well.
01:52I'm afraid I ranked it higher than the Kraft macaroni.
01:55You could tell me this was homemade, and I believe you.
01:56We've added up all the scores, and the best boxed macaroni and cheese goes to...
02:02Thank God.
02:03Cracker Barrel sharp cheddar macaroni and cheese.
02:05But this is where my heart will always be.
02:07Now this is really the right way to make mac and cheese.
02:09I'm going to make mac and cheese.
