We sincerely appreciate and hear all of your feedback. The social promotion resulted in 20,000 consumers across the country receiving boxes of America’s favorite Kraft mac ’n’ cheese. “For National Noodle Day last Tuesday, we encouraged adults to send free noodles to loved ones to provide comfort and make them smile.

Soon, some posters were using the campaign to spread the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory, which posits that a gang of Satan-worshipping Democrats and high-profile celebrities routinely traffic and abuse children. “If you’re going to use children in your advertising then you should NEVER have advertisements like your noods commercial,” wrote another. Never buying Kraft again,” another wrote in response to the promotion. One customer told Buzzfeed’s Tanya Chen that the post “grooms children into believing it’s OK and even FUNNY to “send noods”. Send noodz, not nudes.”īut outraged customers have complained that Kraft is a “family company” and have even suggested that the advert is a gateway to children actually sending nudes. That’s why it’s always a nice gesture to send noodz … To be clear, I’m not advocating you send nudes to anyone. In a broadcast since removed from the internet, Saturday Night Live’s Vanessa Bayer says to camera: “In these strange times, people are in need of extra comfort. The promotion encouraged adults to send their loved ones boxes of Kraft’s Mac & Cheese noodles.
