    My world was recently changed forever when I went to a restaurant that combined two of my favorite things: mac n'cheese and cheezits. Yep, they used crumbled cheezits as a topping on the mac. Mind blown.

    Oh my god, that is amazing.

    I agree - think they secretly add crack or some other addictive element into the recipe. I can not portion control these ridiculously yummy squares. They are evil and need to be avoided at all costs.

    I've never even heard of that but I already feel like any mac n'cheese without cheez-its is now a complete failure.

    My whole family loves them. I don't get it. Blech! Goldfish are slightly less gross, but still not good. Of course, I really don't like most salty snacks that much anyway. Pretzels being the major exception.

    My daughter loves the alphabet Cheezits and likes to try to spell stuff with them.

    Colby Cheez-Its are God's own truth.

    I used to keep a box of them in my car to munch on during the long commute to/from work. Talk about mindless eating. I had to stop that habit! As always, portioning is key.

    Cheez-Its are AMAZING. But what I want to know is what on earth happened to Twigs?! I think they were a Nabisco product but they've been gone for ages. I loved those things.

    Cheezits are the bane of my existence...in the sense they become glued to the bottom of my shopping cart and can only be removed by the cashier and placed into a bag that goes home with me.

    And I actually prefer off-brand cheezits to the real thing. Weird!

    nope not me. They taste like cardboard to me, can't stand those or the goldfish crackers.

    Yeah... make that salty burnt cardboard. If you want salt, find a salt lick.

    (seriously, even as a 4 year old I never understood the appeal of cheez-its or goldfish)

    I have the same problem, I can't buy them. The box will be gone in two days max. I have a hopeless addiction to them and have for years.

    I'm a cheese curl addict! Seriously could eat a whole bag of that puffy cheesy goodness! Oh and if I find a big part of that cheese at the bottom of the bag, heaven!

    They are probably the most addictive salty snacks for me. I just can't buy them anymore. I tried portioning them out into baggies many times, but just ate multiple bags of them anyways. If they are at a party though, I can't help but indulge! Hopefully one day I can have enough self control to buy them again! They're just TOO GOOD!

    Some fiend put out big bowls of cheese-flavored popcorn at lunch yesterday... the evil first-cousin to Cheez-Its. Yes, I had some... but not nearly as much as I would have had six months ago before MFP.

    I prefer Better Cheddars. Flakier, and I'd guess more butter. Probably also higher calories, but much more yummy :)
