Why does Kraft Mac & Cheese spirals come in 5.5oz boxes, while the reg elbow macaroni variety is 7.25oz.???

Spirals fucking rock, yet this is their downfall

the "cheese" on totino's cheese pizza isn't even enough to register it as a cheese pizza. if you can see sauce, well, that's just not right.

no, for real, the elbows pack more efficiently than the spirals

that, plus they only have to make one size box for multiple products, which ultimately reduces overhead

^^because the majority of the consumer base will not even notice the difference, and the ones that do might be willing to spring a little extra for spirals
