We all saw this coming. Kraft is facing backlash from angry moms, as well as members of the QAnon mass delusion, for its #SendNoods campaign, with some critics saying the brand has “sexualized mac and cheese.” A Kraft spokesperson told BuzzFeed that since the campaign is over, the company is taking down the campaign social media posts. Yet the activation was effective for Kraft last week, when the food giant temporarily ran out of boxes of Mac and Cheese for the giveaway.
