Baby Shark Mac & Cheese is Coming to Walmart Stores

Doo doo doo doo doo doo.. Hereeee we go again!

Even if you don't have any young kids in your family, you've definitely heard the song Baby Shark at some point over the last few years. It became a phenomenon because of how much little kids love it, and now an entire mac & cheese is coming to stores in the U.S. based off the popularity of the song.

Though Baby Shark has been a well-known campfire song for ages, it really took off after a South Korean education brand called Pinkfong released a version of the song and a subsequent music video and dance on YouTube in 2016. And now, Pinkfong is coming out with a Baby Shark mac & cheese pasta dish that uses the same characters from the famous video.

The mac & cheese, which will be exclusively available at Walmart starting July 27 for just 50 cents a box, has the same colorful shark characters on the front that are in the video. There's also a maze on the back of each box for kids to enjoy along with their food.

The Baby Shark Macaroni & Cheese forms part of Pinkfong's agreement with ViacomCBS Consumer Products (VCP), who is managing consumer products licensing worldwide, excluding China, Korea and Southeast Asia, for the Baby Shark property, hence the Nickelodeon logo also present on the packaging. Nickelodeon also has a animated preschool Baby Shark TV series in the works. Titled Baby Shark’s Big Show!, the series will bow with an all-new original holiday special this December, with premieres rolling out across its preschool platforms in spring 2021.

The half-hour episodes will be geared towards preschoolers and 26 episodes have been greenlit.

“Having the opportunity to dive deeper into this incredible world and create all-new storylines has been extremely exciting, and our head of preschool Eryk Casemiro and his team can’t wait to help grow the Baby Shark universe and fanbase with an amazing new,” Nickelodeon’s Executive Vice President of Animation Production and Development, Ramsey Naito said.

Earlier this year, James Corden shared a never-before-seen clip from the BTS episode of the popular carpool karaoke segment on the “Late Late Show” where the Korean boy band harmonized to “Baby Shark."

Like most boxed mac & cheeses, the preparation is super simple. All you have to do is boil six cups of water and then cook the noodles for eight-to-10 minutes depending on your tenderness preference. After you drain the noodles, you'll add some butter, milk, and the included seasoning packet to get the finished product. The noodles are shaped like the Baby Shark characters so kids are guaranteed to love it, and I'd suggest serving it with a side of Baby Shark playing in the background for optimal results.

Jamie Lynn Spears Wants Daughter Maddie to Play Younger 'Zoey 101' Character in Potential Reboot

Jamie Lynn Spears could definitely see her daughter following in her footsteps -- even taking on her most recognizable role!

The 29-year-old actor reunited with her former Zoey 101 co-stars Paul Butcher, Chris Massey, Sean Flynn, Matthew Underwood, Erin Sanders and Kristin Herrera for an upcoming All That sketch.

Ahead of the episode, airing Saturday, July 11, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon, the cast spoke with ET's Rachel Smith about the reunion and hopes for a reboot of the Nickelodeon show, where Spears admitted she'd love to see her 12-year-old daughter, Maddie, portray Zoey Brooks.

"Maybe she could play Zoey when she was younger or something," Spears said, imagining her little one in a reboot, which she confirmed there were plans for. "But it's just [hard during] quarantine and all this stuff. I think putting everyone's safety first is what we are trying to do right now. And conversations that were started before this have kind of [taken] a slow pace, as everything else in the world."

"I think we are still having the conversations and figuring out how to tell the story in a way that is going to do it justice, because we want it to be good," she added. "We want it to relate to the fans. That's why the show worked in the first place, because we connected to our fans and where they were in their life. So we want to make sure we find a home and the best story to tell."

The Zoey 101 cast's All That appearance marks the first on-air reunion they've had since it wrapped in 2008. The skit shows Spears reprising her All That role as the grumpy, 101-year-old, bacon-loving bodyguard Thelma Stump, before she gets together with her former Zoey 101 cast. Spears was only 11 when she joined the Nickelodeon family.

"It's really strange to look at my now-12-year-old and be like, 'Oh my gosh, like, I was on a show at this point.' It's bizarre, I'm like, I can't imagine," Spears said of Maddie. "But then I see all the things that she does that are so amazing. I'm like, I could've never stepped up in those ways. So it just really is cool to be able to put myself where she is and what I was doing at this time… I'm able to have a different perspective that I think is important as we hopefully go on this next journey of seeing my children see me when I was their age. It's really bizarre."

The Sweet Magnolias actor shares her daughter Maddie with her ex-fiance, Casey Aldridge. She also shares daughter Ivy Joan with her husband, Jamie Watson.

As for reuniting with her cast, Spears said that at first she was a bit overwhelmed to see everyone -- "But in a good way!"

"This is, was, a very quick reunion. Kind of really just for us to get to see each other again and kind of just see if we saw that chemistry, if it was still there, and it was!" she said. "So I think for me, it was just kind of one of those things that assured me that the fans have been wanting it, and then figuring out, is it doable? And this was really fun! We did it where it all began, where I literally got my start, on All That and Nickelodeon, and I played two characters. So it was just really a lot of fun, it felt right to me, and hopefully we get to do it again."

For Flynn, he was "super surprised" to get the call for a reunion. "I had already had the privilege of getting together with some of the guys beforehand, some of the girls as well. We had a little dinner," he said, noting that Spears was missing that night. "I was like, what? Are you kidding me? This is crazy, I can't believe I get to see everyone again. I can't believe I get to see Jamie again. It was awesome. It felt sort of like a dream that had just come true."

Over the years, Massey made sure to keep in touch with his former co-star, with the actors saying that he is the "glue" that keeps everyone together, reaching out and making sure everyone's good."

They also understand how much their Zoey fans love them, with Butcher adding that "people have just connected to these characters so hardcore. ... Just like we are a family, I feel like the fans, they grew up with us, and they wanna see us where we are now, and they want a window into our lives again."

The POWER RANGERS: UNLIMITED POWER Era Begins with MIGHTY MORPHIN #1 in November 2020

Two New Series. Two New Teams. A New Beginning For All Power Rangers Is Here!

July 13, 2020

BOOM! Studios, under license by Hasbro, Inc.

A new Mighty Morphin team has assembled to take on the deadliest threats to Earth – but who is the All New Green Ranger by their side?

The new Mighty Morphin team is on a collision course with an even deadlier Lord Zedd, who has a new mission and a new motivation – one that will change everything you thought you knew about our heroes! But even if the Mighty Morphin team can find a way to survive Zedd and their mysterious new enemies, they may discover the greatest threat to their future is the shocking secret of Zordon’s past! A new Mighty Morphin epic begins here, perfect for longtime fans and new readers alike.

New York Times bestselling author Ryan Parrott is a comic book and screenwriter based out of Los Angeles. A graduate of Chapman University, Parrott has written for television series NBC’s Revolution and Hulu’s Chance.

He is currently the writer for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with BOOM! Studios.

“This is a brand new beginning for an all-new Mighty Morphin team featuring characters you know – and an all new Green Ranger. This book is a chance to explore the past, present and future of the team in ways you’ve never seen before,” said Parrott. “Coming out of Necessary Evil, there seemed like an opportunity to not only start fresh but focus the story in on our new MIGHTY MORPHIN team like we haven’t before.”

I really hope you enjoy my art.”

Currently, Power Rangers is celebrating 27 continuous years on the air, making it one of the longest running kids’ live-action series in television history with nearly 900 episodes aired to date.

Studios. “Both of these new series will be critical for long time fans and present an exciting jumping on point for new readers who will learn that the true history of the Power Rangers isn’t what they expected.”
