Kraft Dinner has announced its new delicious shape and this year it's in the shape of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I really don't know how this cheesy meal could get any better. If the Ninja Turtles aren't enough of a throwback, the commercial features Vanilla Ice performing 'The Ninja Rap,' which appeared in the film 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the OOze.'
The ad showcases Vanilla Ice stocking the grocery store shelves with Macaroni and Cheese while singing the rap. A mother and son are grocery shopping and she becomes stunned when she recognizes the star. Before the ad ends he obviously says to the little boy, "Word to your mother." I am pretty sure this product will be flying off the grocery store shelves for adults and kids alike.
