Walmart sells out of Kraft's 65-inch mac & cheese box. Will it be restocked?

Walmart shoppers went into a buying frenzy on Black Friday, November 28, rushing to grab Krafts limited-edition 65-inch mac & cheese boxes. The massive, TV-sized bundles were promoted on social media and via a press release, then became available online at 12:01 a.m. that day. Walmart confirmed the boxes sold out within an hour.

Each oversized package contains 65 smaller boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese, equating to more than 227 servings in total, with 3 servings per small box. Priced at $19.37, the deal represented over 75% savings compared to buying each box individually. Kraft credited the quick sell-out to the products fun collectible format and strong value.

Influencers who received the novelty boxes shared videos of unboxing the enormous sets, encouraging some to donate extras to food banks. The package features playful TV-themed instructions, including:

• Unbox mac (resist urge to eat entire box)
• Install display (cook macaroni)
• Stream (add cheese powder)

Some social media posts even highlighted 4K noodles as part of the whimsical packaging design.

Shoppers Frustrated by Rapid Sell-Out

While some fans managed to secure the giant boxes, many others were disappointed. Users on X shared stories of boxes disappearing from their carts within seconds. One user said everything, including payment info, was preloaded, but they still couldnt complete their purchase in time. Another blamed bots for snatching up the stock.

Long Lines at Stores

Despite cold temperatures in the mid-twenties, shoppers lined up outside locations like Bass Pro Shops in Louisville, Kentucky, on November 28, highlighting the excitement surrounding the release.

Will the 65-Inch Mac & Cheese Box Return?

Questions remain about whether Walmart or Kraft will restock the massive boxes. Some shoppers expressed frustration over how limited the initial availability seemed. Walmart stated it does not disclose exact production numbers and has no update on potential future sales of the 65-inch boxes.
