I almost puked while preparing this from the smell alone. Went to the trash after two bites.

Hot take: this shit is delicious. And I hate both Flaming Hot Cheetos and Takis.

It tastes wholly unnatural and looks more radioactive than my aunt from Hanford but daggum if it doesn’t taste wonderfully spicy and cheesy (in a velveeta kind of way)

I couldn’t detect any cheesy flavour in this.

That was my issue, too. I love garbage boxed mac ‘n cheese and I like flamin’ hot cheetos. This was neither, it was bland and acidic.

It’s like the FDA doesn’t even exist anymore.

The FDA only cares whether it’s technically safe to eat, not whether it tastes good.

I’m not sure where to put these on a venn diagram between unsafe and tastes bad.

“Safe” merely means it doesn’t contain any prohibited chemicals or unsafe levels of unavoidable contaminants (such as mercury in seafood). It’s by no means a dietary endorsement.

Yeah those are pretty bad. The spiral pasta though can be used with other Mac and cheese instead if you have an extra box of this stuff. I find the Annie’s brand to be the ultimate box Mac and cheese since it seems like they use actual cheese lol and not whatever garbage they have in the Cheetos flavoring packet.

+1 for Annie’s being the best. Just objectively true. Their white cheddar is my favorite.

I feel the Jalapeno one was the least worst of the three.

dude, you’re not kidding. I tried this and it was beyond revolting. I had to tell my wife that we’re never trying any crazy flavor of mac and cheese again as long as I live.

It tasted like ass. Literally had to rinse my mouth out after the first bite.
