The '''''Unicorn Churros''''' are a [[Chuck E. Cheese's]] menu item that were introduced on April 8th, 2019.<ref name="cep1">[https://www.facebook.com/ChuckECheese/videos/unicorn-churros-april-9/1228802260603360 facebook.com]</ref><ref name="cep2">[https://people.com/food/chuck-e-cheeses-unicorn-churros-delivery people.com]</ref><ref name="cep3">[https://www.delish.com/food-news/a26977353/chuck-e-cheeses-unicorn-churros delish.com]</ref>
The item currently consists of five churros dusted with three different flavors of sugar: cotton candy (pink), sour apple (green), and blue raspberry. Their packaging fittingly bears the likeness of Ronnie the Unicorn.

== History ==

The Unicorn Churros were first announced on March 28th, 2019, ahead of their debut on April 8th. This was one day ahead of National Unicorn Day on April 9th - on that day, customers who bought 30 minutes of "all you can play" time would receive an order of churros for free.<ref name="cep2" /> In addition, the company launched a social media campaign to promote the new item, offering prizes to people who posted pictures of themselves with their hair in a unicorn horn (alongside the hashtag "#UnicornItChallenge").<ref name="cep3" /> Comments from Chuck E. Cheese's officials (including then-CEO Tom Leverton) indicated that the item was in part meant to cash in on the popularity of unicorns at the time.<ref name="cep4">[https://www.nrn.com/casual-dining/cec-sharpens-offerings-ahead-of-planned-market-return nrn.com]</ref><ref name="cep5">[https://www.chuckecheese.com/concord-nc/blogs/cec-caulipower-press-release_2019-final chuckecheese.com]</ref>
While the churros were originally only available for a limited time (specifically until June 6th),<ref name="cep2" /><ref name="cep3" /> they instead became a permanent item. Later communication from the company often treated them as a seasonal item, sometimes grouping them with the Rainbow Lollipops (CEC Menu Item), the Unicorn Cupcake (CEC Menu Item), the Unicorn Cotton Candy (CEC Menu Item), and/or the Rainbow Ice Dippin' Dots (CEC Menu Item) (all of which were only offered in the spring).<ref name="cep6">[https://www.chuckecheese.com/concord-nc/blogs/spring-tastic-press-release-final chuckecheese.com]</ref><ref name="cep7">[https://www.chuckecheese.com/concord-nc/blogs/chuck-e-cheese-spring-tastic-press-release chuckecheese.com]</ref><ref name="cep8">[https://x.com/ChuckECheese/status/1640789606894280721 x.com]</ref> However, Wayback Machine archives of Chuck E. Cheese's menu show that the churros consistently remained on the menu year-round.
In April 2020, the Unicorn Churros were offered for $3 as part of a special "$5 or less" carry-out menu.<ref name="cep9">[https://web.archive.org/web/20200404212727/https://www.chuckecheese.com/delivery-to-go/delivery web.archive.org]</ref><ref name="cep10">[https://web.archive.org/web/20200414043110/https://www.chuckecheese.com/five-dollar-menu web.archive.org]</ref> This would end between June 20th<ref name="cep11">[https://web.archive.org/web/20200620012046/https://www.chuckecheese.com/delivery-to-go/delivery web.archive.org]</ref> and the 25th.<ref name="cep12">[https://web.archive.org/web/20200625195549/https://www.chuckecheese.com/delivery-to-go/delivery web.archive.org]</ref>
The item would receive two significant changes no later than June 10, 2021: it would come with five churros instead of four, and its price would increase from $3.99 to $4.99.<ref name="cep13">[https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/chuck-e-cheese-sacramento?select=AxRbpxecN-iI0I645sDu0Q yelp.com]</ref>
