Creamy and delicious. It tastes a lot like a Cheeto or my mind makes it tastes that way as that’s what I expect.

Frankly I don’t think I could tell the difference between this and normal Mac and cheese except for the pasta shape which was a welcome change and probably the best part of this mac.

I really wanted to add some spice to it. Some hot sauce or pepper would’ve improved my experience.

All in all I’m looking forward to the spicy versions.

It looks like it needs Old Bay.

Now I’m craving Kraft mac’n’cheese with ground beef and Old Bay.

I’m appalled this is a thing, but at the same time, I’m comforted that it’s being covered on oppo so I don’t have to find out for myself.

It’s not bad so far. I’d put this on level with normal boxed mac and cheese. I’d pick this over Kraft dinner based on the pasta shape.

They should give you a packet of Cheeto dust to dump on top.

I have never heard of that combination before.

That is a very unnatural color. And, it looks wonderful.

So, you’re saying it either needs chili on top or some of these chopped up and mixed in.

That’s fair, although I don’t know the last time I had Kraft mac and cheese.

We just got back from a vacation on the coast. Ain’t no seafood like seafood that was swimming earlier today.

true that...nothing like getting it fresh of the boat

I’m not sure the last time I had boxed mac and cheese prior to today.

Yeah this would improve it.

It might be the most orange thing I’ve ever eaten. I’m a little concerned with the red flamin’ hot

I do have cheetos here could have crushed up a handful. 

davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com > CalzoneGolem 08/24/2020 at 13:41

Yeah, but that wouldn’t be a true test. If these actually can’t be distinguished from any random box of mac & cheese, that’s a shame.

A color which, in nature, would scream DON’T EAT ME.

I’d add some meatballs.

I have high hopes for the spicier flavors.

Make sure you have a clear path to the bathroom.

It’s basically hamburger helper.

What is this healthy crap?!?

(Kidding, it looks really good)

We used to eat a lot of hamburger helper back in the day. Haven’t had it in years.

I can’t handle too much of the Flamin’ Hot. It’s right on the line of appetizing for me.

CalzoneGolem > phenotyp 08/24/2020 at 13:56

Yeah some meatballs or hotdogs would be an improvement 

CalzoneGolem > ttyymmnn 08/24/2020 at 13:58

I’m just hoping not to stain the bowl

You do realize that by calling these fusilli (or rotini) “ mac(aroni)“ , they basically are the Porsche Taycan Turbo of the food.

And seriously, this thing is wrong in every possible way, from the packaging, the ingredients, the color, the whole idea ...

Huh, looks like Kraft Spirals:

just with a s lightly different cheese color.

I’m struggling to come up with anything.

Tepid water, I guess?

lol it’s only going to get worse from here maybe you should avoid this space for the next couple days.

CalzoneGolem > UserNotFound 08/24/2020 at 14:42

I think it would be improved by a sprinkle of Old Bay ... it’d look more festive at any rate.

CalzoneGolem > user314 08/24/2020 at 14:42

Basically.

Was looking for Cheeto Mac & Cheese online, and stumbled across this:

One POUND of cheese powder.

Wow that is deeply, vividly orange. I’m not convinced it’s even food.  Scary stuff man!

Hot sauce on any Mac and cheese is an improvement. I love m&c in nearly every form, but it’s still usually enhanced with hot sauce.

I can’t wait for the flaming hot! I made a baked Mac on the 4th  with flaming hot on half. It was a good addition. I used homemade breadcrumbs on the other half to satisfy multiples tastes

There’s also a 2lb White Cheddar container:

There’s a place in Long Beach that is known for their Mac and Cheetos. Homemade mac with flaming hot Cheetos. I go there every time I visit LA.

They also have a bloody mary with bacon infused vodka and a beef short rib slider as a garnish. AND, they serve absinthe with the whole 9 yards: dripper and sugar cube. Great way to start your vacation day.
