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. 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. Did I feel any guilt ordering them? Hell no. 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. Mainland reviewers claim they cost $2.50 there. 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. And no, this shopping center isn’t named in honor of Burger King’s King. 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. The latter of which these Mac ‘n Cheetos are trying to resemble (the Cheetos Puffs). I’m personally more of a Crunchy Cheetos fan vs. Yet Cheetos is a total one-upper game changer, with its unique shape, oddly loud orange color, and even more odd “fake cheese” flavor. 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). “Like yeah man, that sounds totally rad!”
See, they were told only one thing, but because they were stoned, they interpreted that as actually being three things: Macaroni, Cheese and Cheetos. 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. 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. For a limited time, while supplies last, thank God.

As their TV commercial promotes this with their “Creepy King” prancing to the tune of “ Return of the Mac“, this is indeed a “Return of the Mac ‘n Cheetos” as of May 2017, from its original introduction in June of last year. Hot off the heels of this blog’s review of Taco Bell’s Naked Chicken Chips, on the North side of the Bell over at Burger King, we have Mac ‘n Cheetos.
