Recently I’ve started attending trivia nights with some of my friends. As expected, I am truly terrible at trivia (although somehow really awesome at the Trivial Pursuit iPhone game because it's multiple choice). I was useless at television trivia, only able to pitch in to help name soap opera couples and the Saturday Night Live theme music. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode of 227 or even heard of a game show called The Joker’s Wild. I was slightly more helpful at 90’s trivia, able to correctly identify The Barenaked Ladies in a crappy B&W photocopied picture, but unable to recognize a quote from the movie “Reality Bites.” The only random trivia I’d excel at, would be Jessica trivia. But I doubt that would be very exciting for anyone.
Trivia is like the mah jongg or bingo of the almost 30s set. I go to socialize and eat dinner because it’s a fun and different thing to do. At 90s trivia, I ordered the macaroni and cheese. Everyone else got salads or appetizers so I was already feeling slightly like a huge pig, but when the waitress asked me if I wanted the appetizer or dinner portion, I just went for broke. She mentioned that the dinner portion is actually quite good when it’s reheated and she usually has enough to eat for days. So when it came and I realized that I could easily house the entire thing in that one sitting (since I have no problem admitting that I’ve eaten an entire Family Size box of Kraft cheese and macaroni by myself on many occasions), I encountered a conundrum. I began to eat it very slowly, practically one macaroni at a time... All the while wondering how embarrassing it would be to finish something that someone else eats for days. Days? I mean c’mon it wasn’t THAT large. Luckily after I’d made the decision to not care if the waitress thought I was a binger, I found a gnat baked into my mac n’ cheese, and that was the end of that.
What is Jessica’s favorite macaroni and cheese variety?
a) Kraft spirals
b) Kraft regular
c) Velveeta
d) Trader Joe’s frozen
e) Super Mac
f) All of the above

Kraft Spirals are far and away the best mac & cheese variation in existence. They should have landmark status.
↑ That was me, btw. ↑
They ARE quite good, and I haven't had them in a while... I need to get me some ASAP
I'm guessing Trader Joe's frozen because it is the standout option. What do I win?
