Catalyst brands CEO Marc Rosen comments on Black Friday and the holiday shopping season on ‘The Claman Countdown’.
A Black Friday novelty bulk box of Kraft Mac & Cheese sold out almost instantly, according to shoppers.
The 65-Inch Mac Friday Box, which was sold at Walmart and went on sale online at midnight on Black Friday, was shaped to look like a flat-screen television (a Black Friday staple) and sold for $19.37, a reference to the year Kraft Mac & Cheese was introduced.
The box contained 65 regular-size boxes of the children’s favorite, making the Black Friday deal a 75% discount. Kraft Mac & Cheese normally retails for around $1.29.
“Never went in stock,” one TikTok commenter wrote underneath influencer SnachwithZach’s post on the deal.

A second wrote, “12:02…. Not working. I stayed up for this.”
A third mac and cheese fan lamented, “for anyone curious, this did not last 5 seconds. no, I’m not kidding.”
Another wrote, “Sold out as soon as I added one to my cart.”

The box was not only shaped like a flat-screen. It also jokingly said it was part of the “65 Original Flavor Series” and featured “4K noodles.”
Its description said, “Harnessing cutting-edge flavor technology, this box delivers over 4,000 perfectly calibrated noodles, tuned for maximum cheesiness,” according to the Food Network.
