No Way, Philadelphia

Kraft recently introduced Philadelphia Ready-To-Eat Cheesecake Filling—a plastic bucket of processed cheese product. It's advertised as a quick way to make cheesecake—just fill a pie crust, chill, and serve. And I'm looking at it and thinking, "I'm glad you think this stuff would even make it to the crust in my apartment, Kraft. In actuality, Kraft, I'd be eating it from the container. At the kitchen counter. With my fingers."

And that is why I won't be buying Philadelphia Ready-To-Eat Cheesecake Filling.


I thank you.

Oh, Ready-to-Eat Cheesecake filling... that *is* dangerous.

I laughed out loud at your comment on Michele's... the quote from Sweeney Todd. Thanks for that. :)

The same goes for me when it comes to cookie dough.

Michele sent me!

Actually - the reason I don't buy it is that it is really expensive here. If I wanted cheesecake, I'd make it. But my mindset has changed over the last few months and I'm doing really well at healthy eating and losing weight, so no cheesecake.
(Yes, there was a time I would have eaten it from the container, too :) )

Now that is a really bad idea! If I opened the carton I wouldn't be able to contain myself!

I just saw a commercial for that stuff. I couldn't see myself using it to actually make a cheesecake, but I could see myself eating it out of the carton with a spoon. So, like you, I will not be purchasing it.

I love the way you talk back to "big food" ( manufacturers).
Slowly they are taking away our baking and cooking skills, so that some day a whole generation will be completely reliant on precooked, prepackaged tasteless crapola.
i mean REALLY is there anything more stupid that MICROWAVING your mac-n- cheese?
sign me: cooking for myself until I die ( from it)

I have got to laugh. Last year my kids had a fundraiser at school and they sold this unbelievable cookie dough in big vats. Um... very little of it ever got baked. We ate it right out of the containers. So I'm right with you. Which is why this year we'll be skipping the cookie dough fund raiser!

Nestles used to manufacture an oleagonous condensed milk, sickly sweet, which tasted like ambrosia in wat-time but which now makes me nauseous. sounds similar.

I saw this in my local grocery store a fwe weeks ago & had a vision very similar to yours as to how that stuff would end up if brought to my house!
Very dangerous stuff they're selling.
Here from Micheles & thank you also, for stopping by my blog earlier.

Would it be possible to dunk some biscuits (cookies) into it, to make it slightly more cheesecake like? I don't think we have it here in Britain.

Hiya, here from Michele's!

This is what is wrong with modern society. Just thinking about this new so-called food product give me the heebie-jeebies.

Ick!

Matt, my husband, bought some a couple of months ago and we ended up eating part of it spread on graham crackers (though eventually I was just dunking the graham crackers).

Matt likes it because it is whipped and light, unlike most conventional cheesecake we've had. It goes bad pretty fast once it's opened. I wish they'd sell it in a smaller container for crackers. That's pretty bad, isn't it?
