Forget champagne and strawberries: Kraft Heinz has found a cheesier way to help parents celebrate Valentine's Day the way they did before the kids were born.
Its "Kraft is for Lovers" campaign, centered around new Macaroni & Cheese Big Bowls, tempts Mom and Dad with the promise of getting the kids fed and to bed in short order so they can indulge adult appetites. All they have to do is enter an online contest to win the dish before it rolls out to supermarkets in March.
