This 1928 ad is the oldest one Grandma J could find.   Don't know what happened to the Phenix part of the Kraft Corp.

But, by the 1930's this foil wrapped food product was the hottest thing since sliced cheese.

Velveeta was being served by all women in the know.   And it made their husbands feel so suspicious as to how the heck they kept this cheese so fluid!

By the 1950's mothers all across the country knew that nothing was better for their little tykes than Velveeta.   Unless it was last weeks Uncola.

So they were whipping up yummy meals like this one with apples, bacon, toast and Velveeta.

Of course nothing could out do this Velveeta favorite.

Over the years, Velveeta morfed into  a plethora of products and various flavors...........

Fast and easy too.......

This is NOT a Velveeta dish....but it could be.   Have you ever seen anything so um, disgusting yummy?
