OK not really, but it definitely comes a close second to Kim Kardashian.Why? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bk.com\/menu-item\/mac-n-cheetos\" target=\"_blank\">Mac n&#8217; Cheetos<\/a>, that&#8217;s why. With an official launch at select Burger King locations yesterday, our news feeds are cluttered with reviews and thoughts on this cheesy snack (sorry, Doritos Locos!).<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bk.com\/menu-item\/mac-n-cheetos\" target=\"_blank\">Burger King<\/a>, they&#8217;re a &#8220;hand-held new take on classic mac n&#8217; cheese, perfect for snacking on the go. Mac n&#8217; Cheetos are creamy mac n&#8217; cheese covered with crispy Cheetos flavor and served warm.&#8221; At $2.49 and 310 calories, we wanted to know more about these mozzarella stick-looking mac n&#8217; cheese sticks.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re hesitant, here&#8217;s what everyone is saying today:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thrillist.com\/news\/nation\/burger-king-mac-n-cheetos-taste-test\" target=\"_blank\">Thrillist<\/a><\/strong>:<\/em>\u00a0&#8220;Let&#8217;s look at the facts here, folks: Mac n&#8217; Cheetos are stick-like portions of macaroni and cheese that are coated in a bright orange, Cheetos-inspired breading, deep fried, and served in packages of five. With a combination like that, you can hardly go wrong, and Mac n&#8217; Cheetos certainly don&#8217;t go wrong. However, they&#8217;d be 1,000 times better if they were actually covered in actual Cheetos dust, and perhaps a ZILLION times better if they were covered in Flamin&#8217; Hot Cheetos dust.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-version=\"7\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 62.4537037037% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BG-z6_pGGzA\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mac n&#8217; CHEETOS ?
