![]() For a limited time, while supplies last, thank God. Like all other new fast food menu items, there’s no shortage of internet reviews, blogger and vlogger buzz over Burger King’s Mac ‘n Cheetos, arguably the whackiest food mashup to date. It’s like they invited a bunch of non-paid “stoners” into their boardroom one day and asked them, “Hey guys, if you were on a deserted island with only one thing to eat after your ganga toking trip, what would it be?” And the unanimous decision turned out being Mac ‘n Cheese combined with Cheetos. See, they were told only one thing, but because they were stoned, they interpreted that as actually being three things: Macaroni, Cheese and Cheetos. “Like yeah man, that sounds totally rad!” Some say this is BK’s answer to TB’s very well received Doritos Locos Taco, a mashup of their classic Taco, albeit using an actual Doritos chip flavored crunchy taco shell. Not to mention their Fritos Burrito (and whatever else they’ve stuck those chips in). Yet Cheetos is a total one-upper game changer, with its unique shape, oddly loud orange color, and even more odd “fake cheese” flavor. I’m personally more of a Crunchy Cheetos fan vs. The latter of which these Mac ‘n Cheetos are trying to resemble (the Cheetos Puffs). So I got my Mac ‘n Cheetos mac on at the Burger King in the aptly named King’s Village Shopping Center in Waikiki, on the corner of Koa Street and Kaiulani Avenue, right behind the Hyatt Regency. And no, this shopping center isn’t named in honor of Burger King’s King. It’s in honor of King Kalakaua, the last king of the Kingdom of Hawaii.īeing this Burger King location is in “touristville” Waikiki, naturally the prices are a bit higher at fast food chains here compared to outside of the area, where here I paid $3.69 for the default set of 5 Mac ‘n Cheetos. Mainland reviewers claim they cost $2.50 there. What’s funny is one of the reviewers were mentioning how much of a guilt trip they had upon ordering them, fearing perhaps someone they know would be standing behind them, forever tarnishing their otherwise highly respected reputation. Did I feel any guilt ordering them? Hell no. I was proud! “Give me some of them “Mac ‘n Cheetos baby!” In fact, this Australian couple standing behind me gave me a high five for ordering them, saying “You’re brave, mate!” I was hoping they’d follow suit and order them too so I’d have someone to bond with while sampling them, but nope, they ordered the usual Whopper combo. It was comforting to know upon ordering them that they were being cooked to order, not just sitting there under heat lamps, where it took about 2 minutes in the deep-fryer before arriving to me pipin’ hot in the bag, in its own unique container.Ĭlearly hashtagged #MACNCHEETOS, is this social media buzz ‘n click bait? Of course.
