The late comedian in the title used to a routine about a bachelor chef cooking show featuring macaroni and cheese, a staple for unmarried men. One joke was how cheap and mandatory the foodstuff was because the character purchased this by the metric ton.
It seems Costco has caught up 20-plus years later in time for the Zombie Apocalypse. When I read the details for the 27-pound bucket, I have to admit to being bummed it contains 180 packets of noodles and cheese powder each. It isn’t a a giant “can” of pre-made a la Chef Boyardee, which would be tricky given the pseudo dairy nature of cheese powder, if any. The upside is the bucket also contains oxygen packets to keep the contents edible for 20 years! So maybe the gang from The Walking Dead may stumble upon this as a rather morbid product placement.
Don’t get your hopes up if you want to get the bucket. It’s currently sold out and was only available through the online store.
