H-blogs new economic indicator

Mac and Cheese sales. That's right, you heard it here first. I came across this article about the spike in Mac and Cheese sales. No mention of the failing economy or recession, but I'm going to go ahead and jump in and call it an indicator of an economy going south. As money gets tight, people eat in, as it goes further south they eat in cheaply. When that happens, you get a spike in M&C sales. My bet? When Mac and Cheese sales fall, the economy will be on the upswing.

So there you have it folks, Hydrablog's Mac and Cheese Economic Indicator (HMCI). Tell your friends.
