Box mac n cheese, is one of the greatest inventions ever . . . and Aldi's brand, Cheese Club, is just as incredible as Kraft at about half the price.
Now, you know.
I've been revisiting Velveeta and have to say that shit slaps, girl.
Funny you say this. I saw Walkie's post last night and was going to share but didn't and now you've directly referenced Velveeta and I feel I must.
Velveeta mac and cheese is probably the trashest food I eat. I literally didn't have it until I was close to 30. We NEVER had Velveeta as a kid growing up. We had garbage mac and cheese but it was always the Kraft style, with like powder and add milk and butter. I remember seeing commercials for Velveeta and asking my parents why we never had it and they both trashed it. "It isn't real cheese." "It doesn't even taste like cheese!"
As a kid, I had such as idea that it was going to taste plasticky. I could literally make myself feel ill at like 9 years old imagining what I presumed Velveeta tasted like. I literally got out of going to school once by making myself throw up imagining Velveeta.
Skip ahead like 20 years and I was dating this girl and went over her house to watch a movie and she decided to make Mac and Cheese. She brought it out and I casually asked "oh, this looks different than when I make it -- what brand is this?" She said Velveeta and I immediately started to panic. I decided to suck it up and just eat a little to play cool about the whole thing.
Two bites in and my mind was blown. Like, what the fuck is this liquid trash gold? This tastes NOTHING like I imagined. I have been loyal to Velveeta for my, IDK, five times a year at home Mac and Cheese needs ever since. If I ever want to slum it food wise and just ingest total shit, Velveeta is the shit for me.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
