SHOPPER WARNS AGAINST BUYING PANERA MAC AND CHEESE FROM STORE AFTER 'SPLURGING' ON IT AND IT ONLY COMING WITH 14 SHELLS
The Mac & Cheese advertised on Panera Bread’s website appears to be a fairly hearty portion. Even the photo of the small portion shows a heaping bowl of pasta covered in cheese sauce.
But the bowl TikToker Jayce (@jayces_username) says he received falls well short of the dish featured in the company’s advertising.
“So I’m making this Panera mac and cheese, and tell me why there’s no ‘mac and,'” he says, referring to the lack of pasta.
Jayce then counts the pasta shells one by one, ending on a total of fourteen pieces. “There’s not even fifteen noodles.”
He even strains the sauce off through a sieve, ending up with only a palmful of macaroni. “Oh boy,” he says sarcastically after transferring the side to a small bowl and sitting down to eat.
Jayce’s viewers seemed to agree that the mac and cheese portion was skimpy, and some shared their own complaints about Panera’s portions.One simply wrote “the lack of mac:/,” adding a broken heart emoji.
