A massive Velveeta shortage threatens Super Bowl parties. So how’s that new Fed Chairman appointment looking now, Comrade Obama? > **[Velveeta shortage threatens to make the Super Bowl less cheesy](https://www.csmonitor.com/Business/2014/0107/Velveeta-shortage-threatens-to-make-the-Super-Bowl-less-cheesy)** > > Velveeta shortage is starting to affect America's supermarkets, just in time for peak party dip season. Will the Velveeta shortage mean a Super Bowl without queso dip? ---

Is manipulating the cheeze-food market illegal? Maybe some rich bastard stockpiled the stuff. Then you float a rumor there is a shortage, people panic and buy it all, other people see then empty shelves, and Bingo, Velveeta trading at 1000 bucks a pound. How many times do I have to say we need a National Strategic Velveeta Reserve to make sure we can preserve the American way of life with evil in the world! ---

I would’ve thought peak time for Velveta would be early April. Trout just _love_ it on the hook. Me,not so much (even w/o the hook) ---

> [@74westy](#): > > Made out of Velveeta? Uh…yeah? Melt it down and pour in some salsa, or chili, or diced jalapenos (and a little milk to keep it gooey). If you haven’t had one of these artery-clogging variants you’re not going to the right parties. ---

1 pound of Velveeta, cubed + 1 can of [Ro\*Tel Tomatoes with green chilies.](http://www.ro-tel.com) Nuke in a casserole dish or put in a crock pot until melted. ---

If you want to really kick the Ro\*Tel dip up a notch try this: [http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/velveeta-spicy-sausage-dip-74865.aspx](http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/velveeta-spicy-sausage-dip-74865.aspx) I only eat Velveeta about once every 5 years but man could I go for some Ro\*Tel dip right now. ---

Stopped and bought me 4 pounds on the way home from work today. There were only a few left in the cooler so it appears the run is on. There was plenty of the store brand though. ---

Why in the name of Og do they keep in the cooler? That stuff doesn’t have to be refrigerated unless it’s opened. (This is a rhetorical question.) I think chorizo would be better than breakfast sausage. Ortega used to make a product called Acapulco Hots that made the best. queso. ever. Of course, it’s discontinued. Bastids.
