My friend took a picture of that stuff at Sainsbury's because the picture on the tube was a mouse fishing for a huge prawn. It was pretty hilarious!

LOL!! I've never looked close enough to see that, but I will now!

I'm from Texas, but my parents are from Indiana and we frequently had Rotel AND Velveeta.  Tostitos were the most important ingredient to making queso and I miss them hard-core.  Tesco Value Tortilla Chips are actually the closest thing I've found to Tostitos so far (and at 18p a bag, not bad at all!!), but they're not exactly...still a bit 'corny' to me.

I used to love that spray cheez crap when I went to camp.  We all begged for it on visiting day.  Funny thing is I never wanted it any other time, just in the summers I was at camp.  Shockingly, my mom would actually buy it for me! :o

I could of written this! I remember being introduced to Easy Cheez with triscuits at camp. But it was definitely a camp-only food!

I'm from Indiana an I hadn't ever heard of Rotel so did a search for Rotel on Kroger's & Marsh grocery stores website neither of them don't carry it. those are the only 2 grocery store we have in my hometown in Indiana maybe some of the bigger city grocery stores carried it.

It seems I have started a Rotel Revolution!

Viva la Rotel!

Too right! And my mother would refuse to send me any.
When I got older, and I saw Easy Cheez in the grocery store, I would contemplate buying it, to make up for all those years of deprivation but it never seemed right.

I had honestly never heard of Velveeta Queso dip until I was 17 and working in Waldbaum's supermarket and one of my colleagues bought the cheese, the salsa and chips to make her ''salsa dip''
Good things come to those who wait...a really long time.
