Staff Lunch Review: Burger King’s Mac n’ Cheetos

Staff Lunch Review: Burger King’s Mac n’ Cheetos

July 11, 2016 (December 6, 2022) // Riot Fest

mac cheetos

With the addition of just one new buzzworthy novelty menu item, it appears that good ol’ trusty Burger King has maintained their place in the fast food midsummer palate absurdity category.

And, we’re just going to assume Burger King’s fresh announcement of the Mac n’ Cheetos will experience the same short-lived fate of previous fast food dysentery-induced ploys, like the McSpaghetti and that of its deceased sibling, the McLobster.

So, instead of you giving this brilliantly processed gambit a whirl, a few of us over at RFHQ headed to the nearest BK to first-handedly experience the summation of two-and-half-centuries of American culinary refinement.

UPDATE: Even Juggalos think Burger King’s Mac n’ Cheetos are gross…

And our reviews are in:

Riot Fest Twitter Guy: “Mac n’ Cheetos are the sweatpants of the fast food world. You know the message you’re sending out to the world when you order Mac n’ Cheetos™? You’re telling the world, ‘I give up. I can’t compete in normal society. I’m miserable, so I might as well be comfortable.”

Dan (RF PROFESSIONAL DOODLER) : “I’d like to take a vacation day, order five boxes of these, pour them all into a mixing bowl, and eat them on my couch while I marathon through all three Lord of the Rings films. Then I’d like to take a sick day.”
