Haha! Everyone over here loves mac n cheese and always has, but I live in CA so that could be why. I always hated it, but we always had it as a side along with a veggie and meat, never as a main meal by itself.
In short in the 90s I grew up in no kid (other than me) would not be crazy for mac n cheese.

I grew up with light bill routinely late for like 8 years (as a result 2-3 days without power was normal), never enough money, and we NEVER had mac and cheese as a main meal.Then again, I always lived in Florida (low cost of living), not some super-expensive liberal state so I could see how people in even better financial situations than my family in areas like that were and are reduced to eating that stuff AS a meal instead of WITH one.
