I must say I've never been the biggest fan of boxed mac and cheese, and Goodles definitely didn't change my mind. That being said, the preparation is almost exactly the same, and taste-wise was almost identical. All of the flavors really packed a punch and there was an undeniable small/taste of the various cheeses. Cheddar tasted like Kraft mac, aged white cheddar shells was my favorite, Cacio e pepe had a strong fresh cracked pepper taste, and twist my parm was so cheesy I couldn't handle it.
Side note: it was so tough to rip open the boxes! There was a punctured hole that allowed the pasta to pour out, but I had to aggressively rip the entire box top off to get the cheese packet out.
