Becomes watery after a few days.

"Quickly biogrades. Don't know why it breaks down so quickly. But is tasty."

— D (5/5)

This definitely fits the bill

"Great nacho cheese for a lot of applications"

Taste like cheese from the movie theaters

"Tastes like nacho cheese from the movie theaters, Heat a bunch up and dump it on your favorite nacho chips and get snackin!"

— KB (5/5)

not too bad

"It's not the best, and it's not the worst. It's a good value. A little more bite than I expected, but it was good."

— Stacy T. (4/5)

Cheese that cheeses

"If you're like me and enjoy eating toilet bomb-inducing nacho cheese but have bad lactose intolerance then this is the cheese for you. It's awesome while it's freshly heated up on nachos or just poured straight over your head and you lick it on the way down. But you better be ready to bear-down on the thrown after you guzzle this cheese like a tailgater and a keg, for when nature shouts, she shouts loud and this cheese only makes her louder.10/10 worth the 8 rolls of TP required after dinner."

— DJ (5/5)

Oh YEAH!!!!

"I really can't believe that this brand that I've never heard of tastes the ABSOLUTE BEST! Hands down the best taste ever! Don't buy other brands, try this and you WILL NOT be disappointed!"

— Valencia G. (5/5)

It's canned cheese

"This will not win any awards, but it's great for old school concession stand nachos, adding to taco bake, or wherever you want liquid cheese. The flavor is spot on, albeit a bit salty (these balance well with a less than full salt chip or with flour tortillas), and no one complains when I add this to my recipies."

— ReverendOlaf (5/5)

Pretty Good

"This is one of the best can cheese's I've found."

— Queen V. (4/5)

"Great taste"

— Nani (5/5)

Makes Lunch Better, But Reminds Me of Canned Pudding

"Cheese for nachos, chili cheese dogs, dipping bread sticks. Easy. Good nacho flavor. No surprises or funny stuff. The texture is a little too much like canned pudding though, and cheese pudding isn't an appetizing thought. Just have to put those thoughts out of my mind."

— Aka3 (4/5)
