July 14th is National Mac and Cheese Day, and Province of Canada and President's Choice want consumers to celebrate the comfort food in style, with a noodle-inspired T-shirt that's both comfortable and minimalist.
The plain white shirt features a simple curved noodle on the front of the garment -- the same noodle that's associated with the cheesy pasta dish. The sleeve is minimally branded with a small President's Choice logo tag, informing wearers of the unique collaboration. In addition to being stylish and topical, all proceeds from the tee will go toward the President's Choice Children's Charity to help tackle childhood hunger in Canada.
To further this charitable release, the brand will donate up to 5,000 boxes of the President's Choice Deluxe Cheddar Macaroni & Cheese to the Boys and Girls Clubs.
