The catchy song 'Baby Shark' started a craze that still holds momentum and to cater to finds of the tune, a new Baby Shark Mac and Cheese is set to hit Walmart shelves on July 27th. Priced at 50 cents a box, the new dish feature noodles shaped like Baby Shark and his friends and family.

Alongside its delicious offerings, the Baby Shark Mac and Cheese also boasts kid-friendly packaging with an engaging puzzle on the rear — an ideal pastime during these social distancing months of summer and a sure to keep your children entertained while you cook up dinner.

We can only expect the new Baby Shark Mac and Cheese to become popular since Nickelodeon recently announced a Baby Shark-themed cartoon series is set to premiere in 2021.
