Are you exhausted from cooking, yet in need of some comforting food? Do your kids refuse to eat anything other than mac and cheese? If so, McDonald’s may have the solution for you! The fast-food chain is currently testing a mac and cheese option at 18 locations in the Cleveland, Ohio area. For just $1.75, customers can enjoy a four-ounce serving, or if your little ones are begging for mac and cheese, they can opt for it as the main dish in their Happy Meal instead of the usual burger or chicken nuggets. McDonald’s spokesperson, Sarah Johnson, stated, “We’re constantly exploring fresh ways to cater to our customers’ tastes, so we’re trialing mac and cheese and collecting feedback.”
Naturally, many parents are thrilled about this development. After all, who wouldn’t be excited about mac and cheese on the menu? Picture this: it’s 7 p.m., the kids are ravenous, and dinner prep has been forgotten. The cupboards are as empty as a forgotten pantry, and despite their complaints about hunger, your kids turn their noses up at pizza or burgers. Now, you can appease their cravings with the timeless classic of mac and cheese, plus the standard cheap plastic toy that entertains them—at least for a moment.
However, there’s both good and bad news regarding this potential menu addition. On the plus side, it’s MAC AND CHEESE! Let’s celebrate the cheesy, carb-filled comfort on those chilly winter evenings, and it’s a new way to negotiate with your kids! On the flip side, your children might declare that any mac and cheese not hailing from a famous blue box is a culinary disaster. And let’s not forget the risk of that small tub of delight never making it home due to an unfortunate spill in the car, leading you to search for tips on removing cheese stains from upholstery. It’s definitely a gamble.
This mac and cheese option will be available until February, after which McDonald’s will evaluate its future. Will it become a nationwide staple or fade into obscurity like the infamous McDLT? Only time will reveal the answer. In the meantime, those of us outside the Cleveland area will have to wait anxiously, alongside our whiny kids.
