As a busy parent, are you ever too exhausted to whip up dinner and find yourself in a mac and cheese rescue? If your little ones are strictly team mac and cheese, you might want to swing by McDonald’s! The fast-food chain is currently testing a mac and cheese option in 18 locations across Cleveland, Ohio. For just $1.75, you can grab a four-ounce serving. Alternatively, if your kids are chanting for mac and cheese, it can be included as the main dish in their Happy Meal, replacing the standard burger or chicken nuggets. “We’re always exploring new flavors to satisfy our customers, which is why we’re trialing mac and cheese and collecting feedback,” shares McDonald’s representative Sarah Thompson.
This development has sparked excitement among many, and rightfully so. After all, when it’s 7 p.m., and your kids are ravenous while you haven’t prepared anything, the pantry feels emptier than a deserted island. With your children protesting against pizza and burgers once more, this mac and cheese option presents a fantastic solution—plus, it comes with that delightful plastic toy that entertains them for a brief moment.
Pros and Cons of the New Offering
However, there are both pros and cons to this potential new offering. On the bright side, it’s MAC AND CHEESE! Hooray for the creamy comfort food that can warm up those chilly evenings! It also provides a fresh avenue for parents to negotiate with their picky eaters.
Yet, the downside is that your kids might reject any mac and cheese that doesn’t come from the iconic blue box, deeming it unworthy of their refined tastes. Or worse, that small tub of cheesy goodness might never make it home due to a backseat spill, leaving you searching for ways to eliminate cheese stains from your upholstery. It’s a bit of a gamble, isn’t it?
This mac and cheese trial will continue until February, after which corporate will decide if this dish will become a permanent fixture—or if it will vanish like the McDLT. Until then, those of us outside Cleveland will be left waiting with bated breath and hungry kids.
