[Amby 490]

I just went to Sams Club to get cheese for the cafe and it had gone up $2.75 (almost $10) for the 2lb package I get...I thought screw this I will just go to the supermarket and get it cheaper cos it's only like $4/lb for the same stuff...I was wrong wrong wrong it was almost $8 for 1lb of kraft cheddar slices. I wanted to die. insane.

Velveeta features a soft, rubbery texture and a distinctive taste that advertisers compare to cheddar cheese, and it is noted for its easy melting. Others compare the taste to American cheese or Cheez Whiz. Velveeta is made, in part, of whey, a by-product of cheese-making. Velveeta is classified by the United States Food and Drug Administration as pasteurized process cheese product (see processed cheese). For a time during the 1980s, Velveeta using the advertising jingle, "Colby, Swiss and Cheddar, blended all together" in its U.S. television commercials to explain its unique taste. Velveeta does not need to be refrigerated until it is opened.

In 2002, the FDA warned Kraft that Velveeta was being sold with packaging that described it as a "pasteurized processed cheese food," which the FDA claimed was false ("cheese food" must contain at least 51% cheese). Velveeta is now sold as a "cheese product," using a term for items that contain less than 51% cheese.

Can't stand american slices, taste kinda nasty. Don't like cheddar either actually, give me white cheeses, mozarella, provolone, swiss cheese, and I love it, but not velveeta, kraft, or other stuff like that.
