Did anyone else see that Kraft commercial with the blatant Terrence and Phillip clones? I can’t believe Kraft actually payed homage to that obscure South Park episode!

Just an episode? T&P were also a very important part of the plot of the South Park movie. I’m sure that helped their exposure a lot.

But the episode that **pizzabrat** is reffering to is where they keep mentioning Kraft Dinner. They don’t mention it at all in the movie. And no, I haven’t seen this. Is there a picture or a video clip online?

I just read that they actually call it Kraft Dinner in Canada. Weird! I thought the writers made that up as a joke; just something else funny and eccentric that T&P say, like “search for treasure”.

Not just in Canada - in the UP of Michigan, I grew up calling it Kraft Dinner.

People from Buffalo, or fans of Barenaled Ladies know this:)

In most of the US it’s known as Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.

Yep, up in Canada we call it Kraft Dinner. Or just KD, or if we’re in a generic mood, macaroni and cheese. But never have I heard “Kraft Macaroni and Cheese”. It’s so… _unnatural_.

I’m from Ohio, and I say Kraft Dinner.
