What ever happened to Franco-American macaroni and cheese?

Franco-American macaroni and cheese is still available today! It's not as popular as it once was, but you can still find it in grocery stores, often in the canned goods aisle.

It was produced by the Campbell Soup Company, and while they discontinued the brand in 2003, they re-launched it in 2011. However, its popularity has declined since its peak in the 1970s and 80s.

Here are some reasons for its decline in popularity:

* Shifting consumer tastes: Consumers have become more health-conscious and are seeking more natural and organic food options. Canned macaroni and cheese doesn't fit this trend.

* Competition from other brands: The market is flooded with a variety of macaroni and cheese brands, from premium boxed varieties to gourmet versions, which offer a more appealing and customizable experience.

* Nostalgia factor: While some people still appreciate the nostalgic appeal of Franco-American, it doesn't resonate with younger generations who grew up with other brands and food trends.

Despite its decline, Franco-American macaroni and cheese continues to hold a special place in the hearts of some consumers who grew up with it.
