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

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] cone_zombie@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] frezik@midwest.social 9 points 2 years 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.

[–] eerongal@ttrpg.network 21 points 2 years 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.

[–] flerp@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years 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!

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] ahto@feddit.de 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] beefcat@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] Lord_ToRA@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Holy shit. Look at these reviews. This one dude talks about how it felt between his toes.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Sorry but I feel that one on the left a little too much.

[–] ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Both of these reviews are amazing

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Selmafudd@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Dude if we're doing that I might as well just reuse my old kitty litter buckets

[–] Aremel@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Adi2121@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But Lemmy users poop only every 3 days, remember?

[–] cone_zombie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] nIi7WJVZwktT4Ze@fost.hu 22 points 2 years ago
[–] oldGregg@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

Powdered cheese or gooey cheese?

[–] Techmaster@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

I bet LA Beast could eat 3 of them.

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 8 points 2 years 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@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

how long does it last you?

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago
[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago

Just one? You on a diet?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years 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@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I definitely would.

[–] Smacks@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

A country dream come true

And here I'm like that would be a great initial fermentation bucket for beer

[–] ezures@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] jcdenton@lemy.lol 0 points 2 years ago

That's awesome
