While Tickle Me Elmo was the Black Friday rage in 1996, this year’s craze was something customers could really sink their teeth into.
That is if the could buy it.
According to Fox Business, shoppers reported the bulk box of Kraft Mac & Cheese sold out almost right after it went on sale at midnight Black Friday at Walmart.
The item is described as a 65-Inch Mac Friday Box shaped to like a flat-screen television. It sold for $19.37, a homage to the year Kraft Mac & Cheese was introduced.
The box contained 65 regular-size boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese, which normally sells for about $1.29, making this deal a 75% discount.
Disgruntled customers went on social media to complain.
“Never went in stock,” one person on TikTok wrote.
Another wrote, “12:02…. Not working. I stayed up for this.”
Yet another stated, “for anyone curious, this did not last 5 seconds. no, I’m not kidding.”
The item’s 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.
