These Black Friday shoppers are seeing red.
Walmart customers were left fuming after finding out Kraft’s new limited-edition “Mac Friday Box” had sold out in seconds.
The novelty item, designed to look like a 65-inch flat-screen, featured 65 boxes of classic Kraft Mac & Cheese inside and went on sale via the Walmart website at midnight Friday.
It retailed for $19.37, a nod to the year that Kraft was founded, with savvy shoppers enticed by the bargain price.
The low cost meant that each box inside equated to less than 30 cents — less than a quarter of the regular sale price.
Others were enticed by the novelty of the product, which was promoted ahead of time by social media influencers, including Zach Ciampa, who runs the account “Snack with Zach”.
Many eager customers claimed they spent hours waiting on the Walmart website ahead of time so that they could quickly add the item to their carts.
However, they were left devastated after realizing they simply weren’t fast enough.
“I literally had it in my cart and it sold out while I was hitting the finish button — what even,” one annoyed online shopper snapped.

Looks as though NOT getting that carb-loaded ‘food’ was a blessing, at least judging by the pictures that I’ve seen of this.
Humans are very strange.
Wait . . . this isn’t from The Bee?!?
Amazing!
.
Amazon and Dewalt has some Deals on cordless Drills!
Batteries are the issue as eventually
They go bad.
Promotions with such a limited availability are stupid. Just pisses off customers. On the other hand, those who got the deal can sell them on EBay for at least 1,000; maybe far, far more.
Are you more hungry than you are materialistic?
This guy obviously saw a big screen in there.
People who would buy such a ridiculous object deserve to be poor.
Who cares? Kraft Mac and Cheese is not the same and is worse from when I was a kid. The closest thing I have found to what we had the 70’s is the blue box Mac and Cheese at Aldi for only $0.54. There is also a jar of cheddar cheese powder you can buy that can make the Mac and cheese taste more like it used to.
“”Humans are very strange.””

Strangely stupid. It’s the hive-mind factor.
A lot of food for a good price, a smart buy for a family.
If only I could have been there.
Imagine if they did this in Canada, they love their “Kroff Dinner”.
That is the thing.
Cheap food for poor people is now being re-packed and marketed to the people who are into "povertycore" which is something I never knew existed. But it creates a demand for the food which is usually never eaten.
When they aren't raging over this, they are raging over that.
Big butts be bouncing in uncontrolled rage.
“These Black Friday shoppers are seeing red.”
Were the White Friday shoppers mad also? Just curious.
Just checked, none listed yet but they will be!
[Promotions with such a limited availability are stupid.]
Yes. Very stupid.
We (USA) make The Weimar Republic look dignified and righteous by comparison.
I’m holding out for the 85” Beanie Weenie due out in December!
