Mac and Obsession Archivescheese, the beloved cheesy pasta dish, has some pretty standard ingredients: spiral pasta, milk, cheddar, and...raisins?

That last one is an unlikely addition, which is probably why the internet is currently losing it over a viral TikTok recipe. TikTokker @TexyKitchen1 has reached over 7.7 million views on a 34-second video of a mac and cheese dish she made for her husband. Atop the cheese, she sprinkled on some raisins, which has resulted in some prettystrong reactions across Twitter and TikTok.

The chef's hundreds of other videos have accumulated over 1.7 million followers on TikTok and over 150,000 followers on Instagram, so she's still winning in the cooking community of social media.

But the raisins are contentious. Comments on her video include "you lost me at raisins," and "I had a smile on my face until the raisins came in." Hardly one commenter approved of the ingredient, and I scrolled for a while. Then there's Twitter, where the video was also trending for a hot minute.

Nah imagine eating Mac and cheese and you taste a raisin??????

The only thing raisins belong in besides Raisin Bran Crunch is certain types of salad. That’s it.

To be fair, this isn't the first time such a recipe has caused internet debate. Last year, Drake's 34th birthday menu went viral after it included mac and cheese with sundried tomatoes, capers, parsley, and — you guessed it — raisins. Cue the tweets, recipes trials, and generally energetic internet discourse airing many a grievance.

Basically, people are really intense when it comes to raisins. Pick a side, we guess? Or just make your own mac and cheese with or without them?
