That's a Lot of Mac N Cheese!

From Now I Know -

Thankfully, They Left the Expensive Ketchups at Home

The Barenaked Ladies are eclectic, all-male singing group from Canada. Their most well-known song, "One Week," topped the Billboard Hot 100 list in the fall of 1998. But you may be familiar with another of their songs, titled "If I Had One Million Dollars." The song, which was an early staple of the band's live shows, is a somewhat-silly discussion of the types of things bandmates would buy for their would-be loves if they were only rich enough to do so. You can read all the lyrics here and you'll see what I mean -- the group imagines purchasing a tree fort outfitted with a tiny fridge; a Picasso; a chesterfield (that's a couch, for non-Canadians); a monkey; and, relevant to our purposes, Kraft Dinner, pictured above. You can listen to that section of the lyrics here, and to get a real feel for that part of the song, you really should. But here's the relevant text, just in case.

If I had a million dollars
We wouldn't have to eat Kraft dinner

But we would eat Kraft dinner.
Of course we would, we'd just eat more. And buy really expensive ketchups with it.
That's right, all the fanciest ket--Dijon ketchup.
Mmmm!
Mmmm!

Kind of silly, yes, but it's not as crazy as you'd think, especially if you're a non-Canadian. Kraft Dinner -- which is what Americans call Kraft Macaroni and Cheese -- is a big, big deal in Canada. Wikipedia explains:

Kraft Dinner has been called the de facto national dish of Canada. Packaged in Quebec with Canadian wheat and milk, and other ingredients from Canada and the US, Canadians purchase 1.7 million of the 7 million boxes sold globally each week and eat an average of 3.2 boxes of Kraft Dinner each year, 55% more than Americans. The meal is the most popular grocery item in the country,  where "Kraft Dinner" has iconic status and has become a generic trademark of sorts for macaroni and cheese. It is often simply referred to by the initials K.D. 

So yeah, if the Barenaked Ladies had a million dollars, they'd still eat KD. They'd just eat more of it, as the lyrics state. (Let's ignore the adding ketchup up stuff -- that's just gross.) After all, one can never have enough Kraft Dinner.
