Kraft Mac and Cheese has announced that it is bringing back its SpongeBob SquarePants shapes after a decade of being off the shelves. The company said that it received thousands of emails, social media messages, and even a Change.org petition from fans who wanted the cartoon-themed pasta back. The SpongeBob macaroni will be available in both the classic blue box and Easy Mac cups in packs of four, starting from October. The shapes will include SpongeBob, Squidward, Patrick, and Gary.
Kraft said that it was overwhelmed by the love and nostalgia that fans had for the SpongeBob mac and cheese, which was first introduced in the early 2000s and discontinued in the early 2010s. The company also thanked the fans for their persistence and passion in bringing back the product.
SpongeBob Mac and Cheese Is More Than Just Food
For many fans, SpongeBob mac and cheese is more than just a delicious meal. It is also a reminder of their childhood memories and a way to connect with their favorite cartoon characters. Some fans said that they grew up eating the SpongeBob mac and cheese and that it was their comfort food. Others said that they enjoyed sharing the product with their friends and family, or even with their own children.
One fan, who started a Change.org petition in 2017 to bring back the SpongeBob mac and cheese, said that it was a “shameful tragedy” that the product was discontinued. He said that he wanted to “bring back a piece of my childhood” and that he missed the taste and texture of the SpongeBob noodles. He also said that he wanted to “spread happiness” to other fans who felt the same way.

Butterscotch, Triple Decker Extravaganza, Chocolate Pudding, Cinnamon Bun Bytes, Mint Flare, Pineapple Upside Down, and The Void.
