You can never have too much mac and cheese, right? Or, I don't know, maybe you can now, thanks to Costco.

Costco, the warehouse store fondly adored for its free samples and delicious food court options, now sells a 27-pound bucket of macaroni and cheese. Lotta mac. Lotta cheese. Lotta money.

The Chef's Banquet brand mac and cheese tub contains 180 servings of the delicious comfort food, and retails for $89.99. That much mac and cheese might sound like a dream, but before you let your imagination run wild, let's establish a few of the details.

To start, the big ass bucket is not full of pre-made mac and cheese that you scoop out cafeteria style. That'd be hella gross.

According to the listing on Costco's website, the bucket is full of 180 individually packaged servings of elbow pasta and 180 individually packaged servings of cheddar cheese sauce.

Each pouch is also sealed with oxygen absorbers to protect the quality and ensure a shelf life of 20 years.

If you're a big fan of mac and cheese and want to buy enough to last a decent amount of time, this sounds like the purchase for you. It also seems like a good buy for anyone who frequently goes camping, is looking to feed a small army, or prepare for an emergency situation.

Sadly, the mac and cheese tub is sold out online at the moment, but as soon as Costco re-stocks you can buy one for your bunker. And if you're really desperate you can order one on Amazon for $149.99.
