The last time Chuck E. Cheese was in the news, it was because a young girl attended a Major League Baseball event at the chain and was told, flippantly, that she should play softball instead. Yeah, yikes, Chuck E. Cheese — how about not making kids (you know, your actual customers) feel bad about themselves?
Well, ol’ Chuck decided to make up for his failures by creating a brand new sugary desert: unicorn churros! Because kids should have EVEN MORE sugar, right? That and sugar solves everything, of course. Yup, it’s a magical carb explosion of deliciousness drenched in pink, blue, and green sugar.
Perfect for after your kid chows down on, like, six pieces of weird pizza. Healthy!
To get your hands on the colorful and yummy snack, hit up your Chuck E. Cheese on April 9th’s National Unicorn Day (yes, this is absolutely a thing), when you can get a free order after purchasing 30 minutes of play. If you can’t make it on the 9th, you can still get your sticky hands on the churros starting on April 18th.
The churros are going for $3.99 and they’ll only last until June 8th, so don’t miss this very Instagrammable snack. Hey, you don’t have to be a kid to enjoy Chuck E. Cheese, right? Theoretically, we could go to this children’s chain to buy, say, a whole pizza or the churros for ourselves, right? RIGHT?
Oh, and because the future is very weird, you can also not go to Chuck E. Cheese like, at all, and simply order their churros via DoorDash, Grub Hub, or Uber Eats.

If you and your kid want to spread the unicorn magic, pop a picture of you and your churros onto Instagram, tagging #UnicornItChallenge.
Chuck E. Cheese is giving prizes away to those who take part — although we secretly all know that you want to take pics of those churros with or without the incentive.
Honestly, this tweet summarizes everything up pretty nicely. Like, what is going on?
There is a lot to unpack here.

Chuck E. Cheese is still a thing.
There is a National Unicorn Day on April 9th.
Churros.

Churros are really delicious, and unicorns are pretty cool — so we’d say the marketing team over at Chuck’s did a good job.
If you’re looking for a way to EXHAUST your child, just let them play in the ball pit and then fall asleep after a massive sugar crash.
Chuck E Cheese is selling Unicorn Churros now....

If you weren't aware, they're churros covered in cotton candy sugar.
Perfect for when you're babysitting - right before you take the child back to their parents.
If you’re unaware of what churros are — which, you’re welcome — they’re fried dough sticks, and they originated in Spain and Portugal, although they can be found everywhere.
Not to be confused with churro sheep.
People are pretty excited. Yes, even adults. Because they’re delicious.
When’re we racing eating Unicorn Churros?

It seems the connection between churros and unicorns runs deep…
Apparently, everyone dreams of both unicorns and churros. We don’t blame them!
Hopefully the churros will be better than their pizza. Some folks aren’t too pleased with it…

If only they allowed adult-sized humans into the ball pit…
If you’re planning on celebrating National Unicorn Day at Chuck E. Cheese, have fun and leave room for the churros!
Just be prepared for the nightmarish sugar high that will come over you and all the children inside the building.
Godspeed, churros warriors!
