Product Testing: Velveeta Shells & Cheese

Oh man, I am not one for quick-fix foods, but I have a teenage daughter still at home that wanders the kitchen chanting, "There is nothing to eat."

Can you relate?

I found these on sale at the Dollar Tree. On sale......Geeshsh!! Are there really sales at the Dollar Tree? Duh!! Everything in there is a dollar.

But anyway, I picked up 6 of these little quick-fix microwave cups for my daughter. I decided to test one today. I want to see what all the fuss is about when it comes to quick microwave foods.

Pros:

1. Tastes very good
2. Creamy
3. Hot
4. Quick
5. Single serve
6. Perfect for a toddler

Cons:

1. Gone in about 4 bites
2. Boils over in microwave
3. Unnecessary dirtying of dish (the cup has to be placed on a plate or in a dish)
4. Not enough to eat
5. Have to clean microwave after cooking

Looks like the pros outweigh the cons.....I may buy these again.

  1. I used to send them to my son at college. You are so right about being eating in 4 bites. He would eat 3 or 4 as a snack.

  2. I always buy the rotini with broccoli and cheese for lunch... by Velveeta and right by those... they just have more flavor to me than the plain ones. I wanted to let you know about my cookbook giveaway that is going on right now until July 16th. Stop on by to enter! Hope you are having a great week :)
