#Michael Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 So you have probably heard of the Kraft Velvetta shortage as of late. USA Today story on it: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/01/07/kraft-velveeta-cheese-shortage/4358509/ I have a great reason on why. It is because of the states that have legalized pot as of Jan 1. Everyone suddenly has the munchies and want cheese dip to go with their chips. People...put two and two together and you have your answer. This is not rocket science. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcfan Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 funny enough, I easily found velveeta cheese this morning that i used for trout ice fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liana Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Just the thought of Velveeta, american processed "cheese", or cheez whiz make my stomach turn. :x snaphat (Myles Landwehr) and Bryan R. 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techbeck Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Only 2 states have legalized it. Would be a lot of cheese for those people to consume. I have a great reason on why.

It's more of a tongue in cheek joke than anything else. I'm sure Kraft is having some sort of production issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neufuse Veteran Posted January 9, 2014 Veteran Share Posted January 9, 2014 this is just a marketing tactic... the super bowl is coming up, they want to drum up sales so tada a shortage all the sudden! rush out and buy up what you can "find"... by find I mean my local grocery store has 40 packs of it sitting in the cheese section right now... and that is just one location...

AJerman Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Velveeta does make the best box mac and cheese, hands down. I don't ever use velveeta for anything else, but damn their shells and cheese are good! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knife Party Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 you people are disgusting. I don't know how it got to processed cheese. Oh wait, its america's fascination with taking real cheese and making it into garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Michael Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 yep. I just find it funny and coincidence that a few days after a couple of states legalize pot that velvetta suddenly is in short supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
