Remember those Goodles mac and cheese cups that vanished faster than a kid’s Halloween stash? They’re finally back. The viral Cheddy Mac cups—which sold out nationwide in under 24 hours—have returned to shelves, bringing their cleaner-ingredient comfort food energy with them.
The single-serve cups, from the wellness-minded brand cofounded by Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot, deliver the same creamy cheddar payoff as classic boxed macaroni and cheese but with upgraded nutrition: 10 grams of protein, five grams of fiber, and nutrients from 21 plants per cup. According to Allrecipes, the first launch “sold out in less than a day,” triggering a frenzy of restock alerts and resale listings that felt more like sneaker culture than a pasta craze.
That excitement hasn’t cooled. The Kitchn called the product “so good, I totally get why it sold out,” praising the flavor that “tastes like the real thing.” Social media clips now show fans unboxing cases from Target and Walmart, while Reddit threads compare it favorably to childhood mac and cheese brands—only with a guilt-free edge.
Each 2.2-ounce cup microwaves in minutes, making it perfect for work lunches, dorm life, or anyone chasing quick comfort without the heavy crash. The noodles are made with a proprietary wheat-and-protein blend that incorporates extra fiber while remaining satisfyingly chewy. There are no artificial dyes or preservatives, and each serving contains fewer than 250 calories.

Molly Michet, Goodles’ chief product officer, summed up the brand’s approach perfectly in a recent Food Business News interview: “From the cup material to the convenience factor to the food itself, this product was designed with our consumers in mind. With Goodles, it’s always taste first with a strong emphasis on nutrition, satiety and fun. We’re so excited to share this with the world.”
Part of the reason the brand blew up so quickly is due to scarcity. Goodles intentionally launched small, knowing the combo of nostalgia and “better-for-you” convenience would create instant demand. This time, the restock expands to Walmart, Target, Amazon and the Goodles site—but still with limited stock. Prices hover around $1.97 per cup, depending on the retailer.
If you missed out last year, now’s your chance. Whether you’re grabbing a few for late-night cravings or stocking your pantry before they disappear again, this is one comeback worth celebrating. Cheddy Mac is back, and judging by the hype, it’s not going to cool off anytime soon.
