The Mac n' Cheetos are a deep-fried cheese-flavored, puffed cornmeal and macaroni and cheese product sold by the international fast food chain store Burger King and the private restaurant chain Sheetz. Mac n' Cheetos is the combination of both macaroni and cheese and the Frito-Lay snack Cheetos. Mac n' Cheetos were first introduced in late June 2016.
The product contained five pieces and it initially came with ranch dressing. It was sold for an eight-week period depending on supply. Many publications have pointed out how Mac n' Cheetos is part of a larger trend of blending fast food with well-known snack foods as well as reflecting the current state of fast food alliances.
In 2015, Burger King entered into a partnership with PepsiCo's Frito-Lay, which also owns the Doritos and Ruffles brands. Mac n' Cheetos marked the first time the Cheetos brand has extended beyond chips into hybrid foods.
On June 22, 2016, Burger King announced that they would begin selling the product the next week. The product was initially test-marketed at Burger King restaurants during a product trial in Southern California. Mac n' Cheetos were introduced nationwide on June 27, 2016. In an interview, Burger King president Alex Macedo said "We’re partnering up with one of Americans’ favorite brands. It’s quite unique."
Mac n' Cheetos, including other Burger King products like the recently introduced Oscar Mayer hot dogs, reflects the fast-food alliances restaurants have with other companies. While PepsiCo owns Frito-Lay's Cheetos, the American restaurants sell The Coca-Cola Company beverages. Despite this recent product, Macedo remarked "It’s not a plan for us to migrate to Pepsi. Our relationship with Coke is as good as it is with PepsiCo." However, Macedo has said "We’re working on a few other menu items. There’s room for us to do more together in the future."
