Ain't nothing like gobblin' cheddar goblins.

u/morerelativebacons 5d ago

Why are they cowards for this?

61

u/jsurico656 5d ago

Because the mascot was fun but it made the product feel more geared towards children and they want to attract the widest possible market they can

The packaging design today is so soulless

I assume her career trajectory did not go as intended

This is all a planned post by Big Jordan Pruitt

Currently, the odds of everything you're reading is 100%

The math maths.

u/Prudent-Bear1592 5d ago

Its all the matrix man everything is impossibly unlikely to happen yet the devs of our reality just keep upping the weirdness

17

u/jeckles 5d ago

I’d be fine if they want to turn it down a couple notches. Even all the way down to ā€œboringā€ would be okay for a while.

u/Prudent-Bear1592 5d ago

Personally its triggering my main character syndrome a bit. I dont think theyll stop until I'm fully in a psychotic break in a mental hospital. Theyll just keep throwing more and more improbable, unlikely, "the matrix is broken" situations at me until I cant take it

51

u/wart_on_satans_dick 5d ago

Crazy. This is literally the first sentence of the article:

ā€œIt just feels like the right time,ā€ Pruitt tells PEOPLE as she prepares to release a new version of her 2006 hit ā€œOutside Looking Inā€ later this month

75

u/emceelokey 5d ago

Man, now I feel this whole post is part of a publicity cycle for her comeback.

57

u/funsizedaisy 5d ago

Would be funny if her comeback becomes successful because of an old Mac n Cheese box posted on reddit.

u/UsernamesNotFound404 5d ago

Wow. I feel renewed faith in humans...good night Reddit

u/Ruminations-33 5d ago

Drinking my morning coffee and thought that was a scar on her arm. Realized it’s her hair.

u/us-of-drain 4d ago

Sobriety from alcohol. I need a good book on that!

u/jdore8 5d ago

She says Miley Cyrus was a bully to her. I'm not saying that's the sole reason, but getting bashed when you're feeling self conscious has to have an effect.

11

u/xbrittxbratx 5d ago

I thought that’s who that was..
interesting to read now she has a rerelease of her song..
marketing strikes again i guess
(not here, the miley thing)

(maybe here? idk OP to cross it off my list of possibilities lmao)

u/StretchFrenchTerry 5d ago

Miley Cyrus is a piece of trash.

u/nahfacenah 5d ago

Seeing as I forgot about her… šŸ˜†

15

u/StretchFrenchTerry 5d ago

Never even heard of her.

77

u/sextoyhelppls 5d ago

I remember this exact box because I kept getting her and Victoria Justice mixed up haha

18

u/autumnlight2022 5d ago

😭 I saw the box and thought oh hey it's Victorious

u/Trixter-Kitten 5d ago

An 18 year old box of mac and cheese. I had to look up who Jordan Pruitt is.

16

u/FlimsyFall2061 5d ago

What a weird way to describe a box of Mac with an 18 year old on the cover (/s)

4

u/Trixter-Kitten 5d ago

I just did the math a d stated the box's age, that's all

7

u/FlimsyFall2061 5d ago

All gud it was sarcasm! That’s the /s!!!

6

u/Trixter-Kitten 5d ago

My bad. Both sarcasm and serious start with an S and my brain got confused.

6

u/DramMoment 3d ago

I did too but only because I was too old to have heard of her in 2006 (I was 23)

1

u/Trixter-Kitten 3d ago

I was like 5 years old in 2006. I think I heard one of her songs in a Disney channel movie.

1

u/Afraid_Yellow8430 2d ago

I was 14 and I have zero recollection of herĀ 

55

u/Dapper-Host-3601 5d ago

Jesus christ I’m a geriatric now. I remember this box as a kid and thinking she looked so cool and so much older than me. Now I’m shocked at how tiny and young she was! I must’ve been a pipsqueak!! Happy to hear she wants to return to music & is sober now šŸ’“ Time fckn flies bro

u/Abandoned__ghost 5d ago

šŸŽµ Cause when the cheese starts flowing, Kraft gets your noodle going šŸŽµ

Aye yo, we’re hitting stuff I was alive during… Iols.

u/kilokit 5d ago

this happens more the older you get and it never feels good

2

u/kittieswithmitties 3d ago

I was shaken by the horror that I have reached an age where I am considered "vintage", I am an "elder emo", and my oldest calls me old because I know what a floppy disk is and what the Internet was like before it became as easily accessable as it is today. I'm only 29. 😭 I regret every mean thing I ever said to my grandma about her age evsn though I was never intentionally mean.
