| Kraft says Velveeta running low |
| 2014-01-09 |
| [MONEY.MSN] Kraft Foods says some customers may not be able to find Velveeta cheese over the next few weeks. A representative for the company, Jody Moore, didn't give any reasons for the apparent shortage, saying only that they happen from time to time given the "nature of manufacturing." She noted that the lack of availability is more noticeable because of the seasonal demand during the NFL playoffs. The company has been airing TV commercials featuring a recipe for a chili con queso dip made with Velveeta. Moore says it should be a short-term situation and that Kraft hasn't yet heard from any customers who are having problem finding the products. She did not say whether the company experienced a similar shortage last year. |

| #21 And you can also get really good squeaky cheese in Tillamook Oregon, AND they have a pretty good Warbirds museum about a half mile south in one of the last WWII blimp hangars. Go for the birds, stay for the curds. |

| #20 Mom - do you mean what we called 'squeaky cheese' here in Washington State. Used to live in Mt. Vernon close to the Cascade Cheese Factory there (some time ago). Stop by every once in a while and get some squeaky cheese. Of course I'm sure Wisconsin has much more and bigger. |

| #18 Velveeta looks like the dried end I cut off the cheddar when the plastic wrap slipped off in the fridge. Come to Wisconsin and we'll treat you to cheese curds so fresh, they squeak when you bite into them. |

| #16 If you mix Swiss cheese with guacamole do yyou get Holy Mole? |

| #15 Perhaps this is whey off base, but - Smoothness and melt ability are promoted as its properties that result by reincorporating the whey with the curd. So I suppose one curd argue it's Miss Muffet food. |

| #14 From viewing pictures of this alleged cheese that looks to be true. Velveeta is to cheese as Vegemite is to Marmite. |

| #12 (this thread is getting rather cheesy...) That's right, y'all cheddar knock it off before it gets silly. |

| #11 ..AlanC is correct...not having to cut said cheese will save much trouble... Ok. Who cut the cheese? Or should that be who moved my cheese? (this thread is getting rather cheesy...) |

| #10 I've heard that in Hawaii they keep warehouses full of SPAM just to make sure they never get into this kind of situation. |

| #4 ...Nimble is on to something. Velveeta is to cheese as Spam is to ham. Maybe the USDA has some "cheese" left over from the 90's that can be "quantitatively eased" into the market to prevent rioting..? |

| #3 Any word from Hormel about SPAM supplies? |

| #1 The local Mickey D's which I patronize has lately times run out of plastic-eating utensils, milk, + has been seemingly been putting thinner-sliced beef patties in its sammiches. Going the way of Xerox paper, toiletries, + hand soap. COINCIDENCE, YOU SAY, I THINK NOT! D *** NGED SOLAR FLARE! |
