How funny. It never occurred to me it wouldn't be with the
rest of the cheese.

I have a hard enough time finding marshmallows as I'm convinced
they should be by the candy. Instead it's by the Jello.

There are similarly described products near the real cheese,
that's no help.

It's on an interior aisle shelf, might be with the crackers - possibly
with the self-stable jarred salsas. Not absolutely positive though.

I see them around the baking section, near the chocolate chips and
nuts.

I have looked at the crackers and never saw Velveeta. If I
think of it, I'm going to look for it next time I'm there.

I thought that was a good place to look, too. That is where they
have the Fluff now, I noticed, that used to be by the dried
fruits.

Supermarkets seem to keep getting new ideas about where to display
products. The Giant stores have done that with raisins a few times.
Admittedly they do have listings hung up at the end of the aisles but
those have a tendency to disappear too.

Yeah, someone has quite an imagination, or maybe they just
put things where they have space. I have, on occasion,
abandoned my my cart in a quiet corner so I could walk
around searching for something.

Many of the stores I have shopped at over the years keep moving the dried
fruits. Why? You finally remember where in the store they are, only to
have them moved again. In my mind they should be with the canned fruits or
the baking nuts. But no. Always have to put them in some weird spot.

Then one of the Albertsons did the same with the gluten free products.
They've been in three different places in about the past 6 years.

The dried fruit at the store I shop in most are in a semi-odd area.
I'd say they are closer to the soft drinks and coffee than anything
else. You can't miss them because they are one huge section at the
end of an aisle that is a "double wide" at that point... like the top
part of a Y. Not sure why it's configured that way, but it is and I
can't miss them if I'm pushing my cart in that direction.

I'll be grocery shopping this afternoon, so I'll make a note on my
list to look and see where they've located it in my store.

Okay. My supermarket is smaller than a lot of the super
stores you see, so how hard can it be to find Velveeta?

I gave up. I will have to try again. It wasn't: by the crackers.
By the boxed mac n cheese. In the baking aisle. In the refrigerated
case with the other cheese. I didn't see someone to ask and not
about to go further in my quest when I had cold food in my cart.

Here at this time of the year you'll find Marshmallows all over the store.
They have end caps and floor displays of those along with Hershey bars and
Graham crackers.

Hey, you need something to float in your hot chocolate.

Marshmallows are popular in the Hispanic community, so our stores have
them in all colors and sizes, there are marshmallows the size of a
hardball - I am not sure what you do with those.

That's something I've never tasted and probably never will, but I've

I think they are better appreciated as a kid, but they're good for

Marshmallows aren't all over the place here. I found them with the
chocolate chips and nuts yesterday and Velveeta was on the ordinary
cheese aisle mixed in with block cheese, shredded cheese, cottage
cheese, ricotta, yogurt etc. I thought Velveeta came in jars too, but
I only saw the block.

Thanks, that explains why I only saw Cheez-Whiz in a jar and not
Velveeta.

Cheez-Whiz is nothing I have ever tried, I am not sure what I would do
with it. I tried aerosol cheese when I was a teenager and I assumed it
was similar.

I know I've eaten Cheez-Whiz in the past (probably on saltine
crackers) and thought it was pretty good. Not sure what I'd think of
it now. I need to buy some and refresh my memory. When I want
spreadable cheese these days, I buy the stuff called sharp cheddar
"Pub" cheese (probably because that's what grandpa used to buy). It
used to be sold in a real crock, but only comes in a plastic tub now.
It's pretty popular. Even Trader Joe's has a version.

Have never seen sharp cheddar pub cheese, before, I need to wake up and
look around when I go shopping. I love cheese.

My mother used to buy it, although I couldn't tell you what she ever
used it for. Maybe some sort of dip when she was entertaining the O
Wives... like that dip made with Velveeta & Rotel? Hmmm, that doesn't
sound like something she'd have done. <shrug>

Can't have Super Bowl without a dip made from Velveeta and Rotel. It's
against the Constitution. :-)

I remember kids in my elementary school bringing Cheez Whis sandwiches
for lunch. It was not something I liked. However, cut the crusts off a
slice of bread, spread it with Cheeez Whiz,lay a coople pieces if cooked
(leftover if there is such a thing) asparagus , roll it up, stick a
tooth pick in to hold it together and broil it.

It's what they put on traditional cheese steaks in Philadelphia. I
think it's awful. Orange, salty and gluey, with out any flavor from
real cheese.

I grew up in Philly and ate cheesesteaks all my life. I only know of
two or three places that use that glop. The other 99.5% use sliced
American cheese and usually give the option of Provolone and tomato sauce.

Pat's and Geno's get all the publicity, but make poor steaks, IMO.
Tourists traps.

When I was a kid (late 50's - early 60's) I remember loving the
Velveeta block of cheese. Occasionally I would cut off a chunck and
just eat it plain.

I haven't bought the blocks in many many years but I have tried the
individually sliced variety. I don't like those slices at all...too
chewy or soft or something. Hard to describe but I don't like them. I
wonder if the blocks are equally bad now?

NO! Absolutely not! It may be what some latter day imbeciles *say* is traditional on a Philly cheese steak, but it's a bald-faced lie. Cheese steaks were invented back in the 1930s, long before Cheez Whiz first saw light of day or the fevered imagination of some food chemist. Traditional cheese for a cheese steak would be provolone. White American was probably a cheaper substitute at some point. Cheez Whiz is an abomination on a cheese steak.. And, don't get me started on Southerners' strange idea that a cheese steak should have mayonnaise on it . . . shudder.

We use provolone on cheesesteaks, I can not imagine anything else. I
would be willing to try it, though.
