read in the business pages of the newspaper today that Kraft Foods has announced there may be a temporary shortage of Velveeta in the next few weeks. No reason was given. If you plan to make queso dip for your Super Bowl party, you may want to grab a box soon. There was plenty when I shopped at Walmart Tuesday.

Do you believe this -- or could it be a marketing ploy to sell more before the Super Bowl?

I thought the very same words, marketing ploy.

Could it be sales are in a slump for Velveeta? Are people finally realizing a cheese tasting product that can sit on a shelf for years is not really cheese……I agree marketing ploy.

I think it is a marketing ploy and a great one at that

I buy it for broccoli cheese dip is all. I don't think I've made it for a couple years.

Melt a little butter in a saucepan, add a little milk or half and half, and melt in a few slices of your favorite American cheese and a dash of Tabasco. Or heat the above items in your microwave. Stir in hot cooked, drained macaroni. Spoon up and enjoy. Delicious stovetop mac and cheese, no Velveeta required.
