When two students at Oklahoma State University cooked 56 boxes' worth of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese for the bath bomb of their dreams, people everywhere were put off their Easy Mac. Many others responded about the gross waste of food and poor judgment behind the students' impromptu photo shoot. Teen Vogue, our surprising moral compass during America's aggressively orange spectacles, remained neutral. Citing the blue box depicted in the students' original tweet, they reminded readers that while the feat was unusual, the students were at least bathing in a tub void of artificial dyes and preservatives. Kraft added that messaging to its packaging one year ago. The story of how that packaging changed suggests that few of us can be rational when it comes to one of the world's greatest comfort foods.
