Great Value Elbows (a) ACTS: the creator holds the box to demonstrate the specific pasta brand she uses for her mac and cheese, and points to the word "enriched" on the packaging. Removing it would change the specific recommendation being made. Sour cream (a) ACTS: the creator adds it to the noodles and explains it is a key ingredient for her recipe.

When I say I want macaroni and cheese, this is what I mean. Y'all see that word right there say enriched. This what I mean, a box like this. Small. Get you some sour cream. Put it on the noodles. The sour cream, the t-shirt. The sour cream, the sour cream, the t-shirt, go on the noodle before you put the coat on. You know just like when you get the children ready for school, you got to layer the children up. It start off with the t-shirt. That's what the sour cream is. I don't mean no harm y'all. I love y'all bad, but I stand firm on on what kind of noodles I want for my macaroni and cheese. I don't want no penne, I don't want no spaghetti, I don't want no um what is y'all keep talking about cavatelli? Cavallati? Cavallio? Diamond in the back, sunroof top, digging in the scene with a gangster lean. I don't want that. No. All right. You got the t-shirt on the children before school, now you got to put the coat on. This is the coat. And I like to melt my cheese sauce, I do. And I don't layer it. Let me put a let me put a layer, then another layer. Mm-mm. This one this one seem to do me just fine. Don't tell off of that. You got to you got to stay. You you not going. You got to stay. Trying to catch a ride and get everything folded in there real good. And y'all, salt and pepper. I use some salt and pepper and a little paprika. That's it y'all. I don't like I don't like really seasoned macaroni and cheese. I don't like that. I already know. I already know. All right y'all. I'll be back.
