Gee, another Kraft-related post. What a surprise!

The true surprise is that this person decided to use an avatar, and that it DOESN'T feature his products.

I've had this one on my ignore list from last time...isn't it the person that used to have a slice of cheesecake before?

Denise, give me that gun! Labs, get him!

In all honesty, the only cream cheese I can buy is either Philly or no name. So, I buy the Philly. My favourite is Turtle Cheesecake.

I don't find any difference between the no name and the Philly, so I buy no name and save a bit. The Nuefachtel(sp?) that is touted as a low fat sub, does not even get close to cream cheese as far as I'm concerned, but that's just mho.

For everything except cheesecake, I used to by only no name. For cheesecake, I used to use only Philly until I discovered Hahn's, which I feel is smoother AND has better flavour. Of course, HERE, I use whatever I can get, since it's so expensive here, but the times I HAVE used Hahn's, there was no doubt it was a superior product.

I used a no name brand on the last two NY Cheesecakes and saved some major money since the recipe uses 7 eight ounce packages. I was told the cheesecake beat any Cheesecake Factory cheesecake! I won't be worrying about the brand any more. I'll buy the cheapest.
