Macaroni and cheese is the ultimate comfort food, and sometimes the best way to enjoy it is by the cup—and this quick, comforting option is now available to Goodles customers.
Single-serve cups were not only highly requested by customers, but also needed by the boxed mac and cheese brand's community. "We've seen our fans lugging thermoses full of leftover Goodles to work. Kids eating our mac out of pots with metal spoons while strapped in their car seats on the way home from school. Truckers trying to make Goodles over camping stoves on the side of the road," said Jen Zeszut, co-founder and CEO of Goodles. "College students with no milk or butter in their dorm rooms have been getting creative, trying to make Goodles with little coffee creamer packets."
Now, nutrient-dense Goodles is easier than ever to savor in Shella Good Cups (aged white cheddar mac) and classic, nostalgic Cheddy Mac Cups.
