Presenting America’s Latest Crime Against Gastronomy, Cheetos Mac ‘n Cheese

To say this has been a year of unexpected unpleasantness would be an understatement. There have been some surprising plusses to the pandemic, for example, marine life got a brief respite from humanity, and traffic disappeared from the 405 freeway.

Another bright side to 2020 is the arrival of Cheetos-flavored mac and cheese.

Spotted by junk food sleuth Candy Hunting, and later confirmed by PepsiCo to Delish, the new Cheetos Mac ‘n Cheese will be available this month in three varieties, “Bold & Cheesy,” “Jalapeño” and “Flamin Hot,” in boxes and single-serving cups. Instead of elbow macaroni, the devious Chester uses spiral pasta and promises “authentic Cheetos cheesiness,” whatever that means.
