I’ve tried american boxed mac n cheese once. I think it was also kraft brand. It was utterly disgusting. Had nothing to do with cheese and barely with maccaroni… eating a block of butter is a strangely similar yet more pleasant experience and probably more nutritious.
Just because something is made out of something doesn’t mean it is that thing. Here in Germany for example, sth that doesn’t contain at least 50% actual cheese cannot be sold as „cheese“ but as „made out of cheese“.
And actually, American kraft mac n cheese sauce mix does not even contain cheese at all and neither does spray cheese. It contains dairy products like whey and milkfat but literally no actual cheese.
I have no problems with cheese dips or processed cheese that are sometimes less then 10% cheese and mostly just water, fat and some other processed dairy products. They‘re also quite far removed from actual cheese but for one, they actually include cheese and more importantly, they don’t taste like I’m eating warm butter that dreams of being a real cheese someday.
Never tried spray cheese but to be honest, I don’t really feel the need to. I’m certain that actual cheese, be it gouda, emmental, camembert, parmesan, cheddar, brie, edam, mimolette, gorgonzola, feta, mozzarella, fol épi or really almost any non processed cheese does a better job at being cheese than spray cheese, that, per definition, at least where I live, literally isn’t cheese at all.

What the fuck are you cheese Nazis on about? Why do you keep saying things aren’t cheese when they are made of cheese?

I’m looking at the ingredients right now and both products say that they have cheddar cheese.
Though I would imagine the United States’ rules for what can be called cheese vs what can’t is a lot different than Germany
From what I read on the Web, they don’t specify cheese at all in the ingredients list… And I was looking at the US sites
It contains fat and whey but it’s certainly isn’t cheese.
Only an American would proclaim it is made of cheese.
