ArkansasTimes […] Upon first glance, I knew I was in for a disappointment. They were not the lurid, orange Cheeto-color that I was expecting, but were instead a dull, greasy brown. Instead of resembling the bright orange faux-cheese chip that we all know and love, they looked more like the droppings of a very, very sick owl…
16 Comments on Burger King’s Mac n’ Cheetos suck all the joy out of two guilty pleasures

“Cheese phlegm.” The writer called it “cheese phlegm.”
Ew.
Leave it to a vegetarian to have high hopes for a bizarre fast food concoction one might likely see in 7-11’s heated snack section.
It snot what he thought it was going to be.
DH and I drove by BurgerKing yesterday and I mentioned that we should try their new Cheeto Mac& Cheese. Glad we didn’t stop and probably never will after reading the review on it. Maybe I’ll make some mac & cheese with the block of Velveeta I bought the other day.
So, will Glen Beck shove his lunatic face into these Cheetos or what.
Obvious, shamless pandering to IT geeks everywhere!
Isn’t that the same color as your shit after one of their black bun burgers?
Goldenfoxx, Thanks for reminding me to toss the 4-5 month old unopened block of Velveeta I have in tomorrow’s trash.
I didn’t think the stuff ever expired, then I went for it and noticed it quit 2 months ago. WTF?
I tried ’em.. I wasn’t impressed.. It’s like a fried cheese stick on the outside.. filled with what tasted like Kraft instant microwavable Mac & Cheese on the inside.. think gritty cheese sauce and elbow macaroni. Now, if they had used Stouffer’s Mac & Cheese… Are you listening Burger King??
I grew up fine on a diet of Coke-a-cola, Cheetos, Velveeta, Hellman’s mayonnaise, white bread, bacon, real butter, and salt.
This is a joke, right?
Like those people in England who deep fat fry little birds whole.
It looks as disgusting as the idea sounds.
Real Mac and Cheese is good stuff, but even that could be ruined by rolling it in batter and painting it orange.
@OldOaks. Just cut the edges off of the Velveeta and you’ll be good to go. 🙂
Goldenfoxx is correct.
Real cheese doesn’t expire. Properly stored it can last a VERY long time.
Growing up, it was always wrapped to keep it from drying out, and any mold was cut off. My Great Aunt used to joke about selling it to the folks in town that paid high prices for moldy (blue)cheese. She and her husband had a small 500 acre Dairy operation in Oregon.
Old Oaks, I use nearly everything that has “expired” if I let it go too long. Fondue is one of those places where old, old cheese shines. Think of the the old Velveeta as a fondue for macaroni. 🙂
My second frig conked out a month ago. It was out for at least 5 days before I realized it. I had a 5 lb block of sliced American cheese in it and it was warm when found. One-sixth of that block has already made a jalapeno cheese spread (melt the cheese with cream or milk and jalapeno “powder.”)
The 6 pounds of cream cheese will be used for 3 cheesecakes which I will freeze for when needed.
Forty plus years ago, as a new homemaker, I discovered eggs were several weeks overdue. I phoned the Purdue Co-Op and they told me the eggs were good for at least a month past the due date. Not great for cake making (because of cake rise), but great to hard-boil or scramble.
Thanks guys, I’ll give it a go. I only use Velveeta with Ro*Tel but forgot I had it until last week.
I’m a little weird about expiration dates unless some says it’s good, I don’t trust myself. lol!
Old oaks,
I so remember the days before expiration dates on cans and boxes. Years ago items like canned poppy seed filling generally was used only around Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter in my household. About 45 years ago, before I started writing the date of purchase on my stash of canned goods, the only thing I was taught was to look for was a “bulging” can.
I had everything ready in the mixer waiting to add the poppy seed. I punctured the can with the opener, and the dang thing exploded all over my kitchen. That’s when I learned to rotate my stockpile and date the cans. 🙂 I’ve since the dating, used tomato paste a year past due as well as as olives, salsa, you name it, as long as the interior of the can maintained it’s integrity. I’m a little more cautious with items such as mushrooms. Cake mixes can become rancid, and they are cheap enough that I won’t use them if over 3-5 months overdue.
