Worst: Van Leeuwen’s “KRAFT MACARONI & CHEESE” Ice Cream
While this collab was just announced on this July 14, it’s safe to say that it’s a hard pass. If you haven’t heard of Van Leeuwen, a chain ice cream shops founded in New York City, it’s known for offering often very good and sometimes untraditional flavors. Lest to say, nobody was checking for an ice cream from them inspired by Kraft’s boxed mac & cheese.
“Nothing makes us happier than this Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Ice Cream,” it says on the ice cream shop’s site — before adding, “If this reminds you of the ice cream you grew up with, you might be out of your mind. If this reminds you of the comforting bowl of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese you grew up with, you’re getting warmer. Because did we make this ice cream with that buttery, sweet iconic cheese? You bet.”
