BlamCo Mac & Cheese is a food item in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.

Background[]

Nothing says dinner like BlamCo Mac & Cheese. Bring the family together for a dish everyone will enjoy.

Mac & Cheese is a pre-packaged, highly processed food product found across the wasteland. BlamCo's instant version of the classic macaroni and cheese dish (elbow macaroni with white sauce and cheese) was packed with preservatives and sold in green or blue carton packages, with an EZ-Pull pour spout to make preparation easier.[1] Like most pre-War packaged food, it doesn't have an expiration date,[2] making it one of the choices for supplying troops on the frontlines e.g. the Brotherhood of Steel.[3]

It was marketed as a family dinner, bringing everyone in the household together.[4] The manufacturer pushed the angle heavily in marketing, bankrolling public institutions in return for overt endorsements and tacky product placement,[5] and "golden holotape" contests (free ticket upgrades hidden in Mac & Cheese boxes).[6]

Other promotional partnerships included the Watoga Times Atomic Lottery, with BlamCo providing a ten year supply of Mac & Cheese to the winner.[7]
