A review of Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Macaroni and Cheese

I bought this on a whim after having a lengthy conversation with my coworkers about an anonymous comment someone left on a survey tool we use where we wondered if their comment consisting of the word "goldfish" 7,200 times meant that they wanted a giant fish tank full of living goldfish or if they were actually requesting a large box of goldfish crackers. We think they mean't crackers.

I went to the store a few minutes later and what do you know, goldfish mac and cheese ON SALE! Fantastic, I'm buying that.

2 weeks later ... working from home, I figure why not, I'll try them.
