Latest heart attack franchise...

Ye gawds...



Burger King, the restaurant chain backed by 3G Capital and Warren Buffett, will begin selling deep-fried sticks of macaroni and cheese encrusted in Cheetos-flavored breading, part of a trend toward blending fast food with well-known snack brands.

1. Those don't even look good!

[surrealAmerican]

6. Oh, I don't know ...

... they look like an absurdest parody of a fast food item.

I'd say they're a decent attempt at art, even though I wouldn't want to eat them.

15. Trump seeds!

Like the pods from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

[linuxman]

3. Eh, who cares? Eat them or don't. I probably won't.

Maybe try one for the heck of it, but not really my type of food.

[monmouth4]

4. I'd like to see Warren Buffett eat one..Ugh..n/t

5. Just like Mom used to make.

7. Grosss!!!!!

8. Thank God I grew up Italian American ...

We don't eat this way.

[Reter]

11. Speak for yourself

Growing up in the 80's and 90's, I always had fast food.

[Drahthaardogs]

17. I did speak for myself

And if you grew up in that culture, you did not eat that way. We had handmade sausages, salami, prosciutto, and cheese. The neighborhood bakery had Tuscan bread and semolina loaf. We all had gardens and cured our own olives and made homemade wine.

McDonald's was a very rare occasion. That was the Italian American culture of the 60s and 70 s

18. You said "We don't eat that way"

The "We" made me think you indicated all of us Italians lol. My bad. I had all that too as a Staten Island Guinzo, except for the handmade stuff. Our local pork store Cangiano's had all of our needs. Sunday was a very special day.

However, growing up in the 80's we had lots of fast food during the week, and always had soda with our meals. Looking back, I wish we hadn't.

9. Not dietitian approved...

If only we could outlaw types of food.

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Reminds me too much of this

[Ilsa]

21. that made me think of Dune.

I don't know the characters.

[Igel]

12. Meh. Not as bad as fried cheese.

Whether those little fried curds you get at some places or "Italian" fried mozzarella or Czech smazenny syr (fried Edam, mostly).

Couldn't bring myself to eat the fried macaroni and cheese. Junk food made into junkier food isn't my preference. I'll stick with the fried cheese. At best. (Or at worst. They mean the same thing here, I think.)

Can't bring myself to eat fried snickers, a Luther Burger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luther_Burger), a fried Twinkie or anything like that. Not sure that this gastric nightmare is worse than those, but I'm not going to try any of them.

Arghh.

[Capt. Obvious]

13. needs to be washed down with a dorito flavored mountain dew

which is an actual thing

[DawgHouse]

14. That sounds awful.

But you never know until you try!

[kairos12]

16. Are they endorsed by Cheeto Jesus dRumpt.

[MrScorpio]

19. A sure sign of the coming Apocalypse, the end is nigh

As was foretold in the prophecy.

[Cal Carpenter]

20. Thanks for the post

I keep seeing stuff about fried mac and cheese, and the comfort food junkie in me has been intrigued, but seeing this may have ruined any possibility of that craving for me.

22. Brands Gone Wild!

I don't know what is worse, that BK is selling it or that it is cheetoes and krapf mac & cheese. Does it come with Blue Cheese Zesty Bacon & Ranch Thousand Island Jalapeno Cream Cheese dipping sauce? Cuz that is a deal breaker!
