My Macaroni & Cheese Collection is Unstoppable

macncheese.jpg

Ian Golder collects boxes of macaroni & cheese. Lots of them. Or he had collected them at one time; his list of 192 boxes only goes up to 1999. Did his dream of collecting more macaroni & cheese boxes die out? Can anyone else pick up the slack? Think of all the undocumented boxes of macaroni & cheese lurking out there without an Internet home, a home that is crucial for the impartation of macaroni & cheese knowledge onto future generations. The thought of a future devoid of such information is almost as scary as the first time I made Kraft macaroni & cheese and ended up with a semi-edible mass of entwined pasta elbows suffocating in grainy, glowing orange goo. I don't think this is the future that Golder would want. Nor do I think I correctly followed the directions on the box.

Robyn, do I hear... Taste Off? Nine page datasheets? Podcasts? Do I really have to do this myself?

Oh, I'm not really on a question to find the best mac & cheese, more like just amass as many different kinds as possible...probably (definitely?) many that wouldn't taste so awesome...

I think a mac & cheese taste off might be deathly.

More deathly than eating 32 kinds of hot dogs?

A different kind of deathly.

Where did this guy live? Reading Frenzy bookstore in Portland, OR has a rather expansive box collection on it's walls. I'm not positive they were there last year when I visited, and this list seems pretty similar. Perhaps he donated them!?
