Hello, everyone. This is Running On Empty ...
FOOD REVIEW
Hello ladies and gentlemen good [morning]. Good afternoon, good evening too I'm your host, the report of the week
And this is Running On Empty Food Review
Burger King review this is a [much-anticipated]
release
Everyone's just freaking out over this
Everyone just so glad it's back, there was a parade thrown and this thing's honor [just] a couple minutes ago
I was there, I was in attendance, just cheering it on and then I got some for myself
Mac 'n Cheetos
That's what these are, from Burger King Burger King's Mac and Cheetos
That's what they they are called and this is the day of its release
I'll be honest, I originally had thought that these were released tomorrow: The 19th of May and
Then I looked it up out of my own curiosity and it said "no they're being released today the 18th"
I said oh my gosh alright. I'm going to go [go]
I'll get there as [soon] as the place opens and just get him and review him that's exactly what I did
Took them a little while to prepare these I figure because they're so new and had a little trouble ringing them up
But we got them and here. They are some mac and cheetos. Now, I'm talking about them
What [exactly] are they before we delve any deeper into?
Into, well, wha-what this is?
Well the Mac 'n Cheetos are
A fairly new release from Burger king, and I say fairly new they were originally introduced a year ago
They were on the menu for a few weeks and discontinued and now almost exactly a year later
they've brought them back the Mac and cheetos are a
large
You have a small of about six of these in this little package here
It's a fried,
Cheeto husk,
or shell,
and inside this Shell is
Liquid Mac and cheese
Sounds disgusting doesn't it? And some people think it is but some people love it if uh- it
[I] remember [and] this is just talking from experience because I already reviewed these about a year ago that if you like things cheesy
Then this is pretty much up your alley
but I'm curious to see how these have [changed] since and we'll see now here is the mac 'n cheetos box and
here is
me holding the Mac and chee toes box ever so decoratively and
there it is Mac and cheetos and [the]
pound Key Sign Mac and Cheetos and
and, uh, on the side of that, that's a Mac 'n Cheeto, right there. They actually are two dimensional if you're curious,
So that makes it even more interesting
And, uh, so there's one right there.
It's a terrible joke(It wasn't)
Alright, let's open this I do like the packaging. I think it's neat
*whispers* look at them, they're lounging
They're just waking up
The place just opened up anyway, and [there] they are now
That's what they look like [I] think the immediate thing to say about these
Ladies and gentlemen [are] [the] fact that compared to a standard cheeto. You know this is they're a lot bigger
you know
They are they're a lot bigger. They're a lot thicker
and a lot crispier too, you can see
This is what those nails are for you can see
You know it's a, it's fried shell. It's a big fried Cheetos shell
It's so that does smell a little bit like the cheetos, and then inside of course is supposed to be Gooey Mac and cheese
So now that we know what it looks like and what it is
I'm just going to eat it and I'll let you know what it tastes like
from Mac and cheetos from Burger King going in
better not back into me...
...that was good
All right, well I tried to show the cross-section of this
[Mac] and [Cheeto]
A couple of times because obviously that's the most important part of it
What's inside?
You can see the outside very very clearly, but the Gooey Mac
and cheese inside is something that you would seldom see and what you would really taste the most so I really wanted to show that
Off so you can see what it looked like now. I answer what it tastes like
It does fit a lot of my recollections of how it once was
here's the inital thing, and this is-
If you want the review in five seconds or less, here it is; If you like things that are cheesy,
this is for you.
if you don't, don't get it
now you could exit the video right now because that's the review, and that's as simple as it gets.
If you don't like things that are cheesy, you will not like this and
if you do I have a feeling that you will enjoy this so that's the first thing if you are adverse to the concept of
cheese,
don't even bother. Um-
It'll be a waste, unless you're genuinely curious.
Now for those of you who do enjoy all things cheesy
what are the specifics thereof?
If There's one thing [that] I have to complain about when it comes to this
It's the fact that when you're eating it and when you're tasting it
You obviously ... it's not cold
"Mac, 'n O's"
You know just mac and cheese. It's mac, and cheetos. So obviously that cheetos flavor is supposed to be there
Not just in appearance
you know
but you supposed to at least be able to taste some of that at least crispiness of the cheetos as well that kind of
powdered cheesiness, you know that you find in the cheetos when you eat them that crunchiness that will kind of
Cheese powder, I guess you'd call it. You expect to taste that too.
My main complaint when it comes to it is the fact that you know you can't really taste that all too well
And that's a shame the flavor of the mac and cheese itself is very prevalent. It's very potent. You [can] notice it very much, so
It's extremely gooey and cheesy and you can taste it an awful lot
But when it comes to actual crispness and crunchiness and flavor of the cheetos themselves [I] feel [that] that's a bit lacking
It seems as though when it comes to these [Mac] and cheetos
They're just using the shape of the cheeto here to really hold the mac and cheese and nothing more no flavor value added
And that's a bit of a disappointment. You know
it's always creative to combine those two things and to have that shape of the cheetos there with as a
vessel for this Mac and cheese
But you know I really would have liked to have some of that flavor of the cheetos
Really much more [prevalent] and noticeable in there as well, and that's my main complaint when it comes to it
As for how it tastes though still, I think it is pretty good
It is as I said very cheesy use I do like the combination of just that liquidy gooeyness of the Mac and cheese
with a few little kind of...
There is a little bit of the macaroni in there, too that has a little bit of a chewiness
But it's not overwhelming. It's more of just the cheese in there
But I still like the combination of that with the fried crunchiness. You know of the cheetos as well, so I do like [that] combination
But if there's one complaint, it's extremely cheesy keep that in mind
I would [I] wish I could have tasted more [of] that cheeto flavor, and I really do I
Think if they're going to re-release it again in the future. [I] mean
I think in the ads they even try and say this but
lets us say this for instance if I
Covering my fingers in it
You can see the fried breading on my fingertips that's there, but there's no cheeto dust actually on it
While they may claim that there is I think the proof is right here
This [is] just the fried breading, and that's all that there is to it
They just need to sprinkle more of that on add more of it
Make it more prevalent
Whatever it may [be] just increase that flavor of the cheetos
And I think they have a good thing done [price-wise] for this is $2 ladies and gentlemen out of tens therefore
I'm going to be rating this a(n)
eight point zero out of ten
I think it's pretty good, but they do need to improve a little bit on it to get more of that
You know that cheetos flavor dung and if they do that. I [think] it'll be [really] quite good
Well ladies and gentlemen that's all that I have for you
I'm your host to the report of the week and today's review was for the Mac and cheetos from Burger King. ladies and gentlemen
Thank you, and do take care
