Some offered some compelling alternate theories.

"Once again our American cousins say things wrong lol. It's macaroni cheese there is no 'and' in it. Also whilst we are at it 'herbs' do not have a silent h in the word," wrote one person.

"You can't put up a picture of canned mac & cheese and tell someone else they are doing it wrong," added another.

But most people just gave the real answer, over and over and over:

"Does anyone ever think about how mac and cheese is like saying mac and cheese and cheese since mac means mac and cheese?" as Meg wrote.

"Never heard anyone say “Cook some Mac” lmao but I’ve heard Mac & Cheese . So ima say Mac is short for macaroni." We agree.

"NO. Mac is short for MACaroni. As in, MAC(aroni) and Cheese. It's NOT an acronym," added yet another correct person. What are people thinking!
