So from this ad I'm supposed to come away with the idea that.....
Only losers with crappy dead end jobs eat Velveeta Shells & Cheese.
Gotcha.

The best store bought macaroni & cheese is Stouffer's.
Good stuff.

Make your own. Use real cheese. It's easy enough and just as quick as this Velveeta stuff.

I sometimes make pretty good, quick mac & cheese just by tossing a couple of sandwich slices of cheese & a little milk into a pot of still hot, drained pasta.
Cover, let the cheese slices melt, stir, add some grated cheese on top & enjoy.
Works good with flat egg noodles, spaghetti or linguini too.
Even ramens.

As usual. Before I could type the first letter this pos commercial came on! I have not tasted velveeta for decades. At least that I know of. I remember the "flavor" as being similar if not exactly like the nasty "cheese like substance" Mcdonalds uses. In the 70s for some reason a popular color was called Harvest Gold for appliances/something? Gold for vehicles. My friends and I refered to this color as "Baby S**t". Velveeta! Eat Liquid Baby S**t Gold!

Either that, or any time you see this commercial, you are reminded of the not-quite-glorious death of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Crassus#" rel="nofollow - Marcus Licinius Crassus :

in the battle, finally agreed to meet the Parthian general; however,
when Crassus mounted a horse to ride to the Parthian camp for a peace

grabbed Crassus' horse by the bridle, instigating a sudden fight with
the Parthians that left the Roman party dead, including Crassus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Crassus#cite_note-13" rel="nofollow - [14]
A story later emerged that, after Crassus' death, the Parthians poured
molten gold into his mouth as a symbol of his thirst for wealth.

What does flying TOY helicopters have to do with (I assume) stinky cheese.
Why the would I want Velveeta cheese from a guy who flies toy helicopters???
This commercial is stupid.

Now the hardworking businessman who sells tropical fish and aquariums is eating Velveeta as well:
Surely anyone with the knowledge, patience, etc. to raise tropical fish has more sense than this. I also hope this doesn't convince people that they can just go out and buy a tropical fish without any research or knowledge on how to raise them.

what's funny about this commercial is that up here in the land of dairy farms, most of the large operations have these huge blue tanks that look like short fat silos - that hold liquid manure used for fertilizer. The name on the side (assuming it's the brand name for the tanks) is "Liquid Gold". I tried to find a picture online but didnt' see one.
Also, definitely funny to model yourself after a loser who works at the mall. "After you get done flying your helicopter & eating velveeta, you can go smoke pot with your friends then back home to your mom's basement"

The first few things I notice about this dumbass commercial is how unrealistic it is.
First-who eats crappy macaroni and cheese in a bowl walking around at a mall?
Second-This annoying douchebag loser making $6.25 an hour selling RC Helicopters at the mall isn't dating a hottie like "Kayla the lotion girl" No f**king way...sorry dude ain't happening.
Third-Where and why is his buddy "Marco" boiling hot water on a stove at the mall for this douche's mac and cheese?
I hate this f**king commercial, and velveeta is processed liguid sh*t!

They make it sound like those mall zeroes are all a tight-knit little "gang" of hipsters that hang out & socialize together when they're not at their dead end loser jobs.
In the world of reality, they would never even speak to each other.
Probably wouldn't even be working at those places longer than two months before they each found something better & hauled ass.

I actually kind of like the stuff, although I haven't bought it in years, mainly because it's too expensive.
One of my college roomates used to melt it over hot popcorn & stir it in.
Made these nice, gooey, cheesy popcorn balls.
I liked to eat it with Ruffles potato chips.

I guess it's like how certain people can eat the stinky cheeses, like limburger. Yuck. I can't get past the reek.

Naaaahhhhh.... Velveeta doesn't stink.
It's just yellow American cheese that's a little softer than other block cheeses, like cheddar.
Maybe a little too salty tasting, but other than that, it tastes just like the cheese you get on your burger at McDonald's or Wendy's etc.

There's a few kinds of American Cheese. There's the stuff that's kinda rubbery (like Kraft slices and Velveeta) and there's the stuff that's more like other cheeses. The latter can be sliced paper thin, while the rubbery stuff can't.
I think Land o' Lakes makes the non-rubbery kind. I've only gotten it at deli counters. It's really good.
Cultured Pasteurized Milk And Skim Milk, Buttermilk, Milkfat, Salt, Contains Less Than 2% of Sodium Phosphate, Tricalcium Phosphate, Lactic Acid, Milk Protein Concentrate, Artificial Color, Enzymes.
American cheese has 400 mg sodium/oz and 9 grams of fat.

Cheese making
Although not a common practice, the addition of urine to cheese-making has been known to make a richer, more piquant cheese, highly sought after by those who've tasted it.
...being a cheese lover and having sampled many kinds from all over the earth, finding out about this now makes me sort of want to go crawl into a corner and make like a frog and croak.

When the "real" cheese costs around 50% more, and considering the average person isn't going to be just buying cheese, I'd say yeah, a lot of them are not willing to spend the extra money on Deli cheese.
I prefer deli, but when it comes down to $5(and generally an extra wait) for a pound of deli cheese or $2.50 for the same amount of Borden(which I prefer to Kraft), I'm usually gonna get the Borden.

Does velveeta really NEED to advertise? Seems like the demographic they're pandering to is already a core velveeta eater. I haven't met a college kid who DIDN'T have a box on hand. Stop trying to make it something cooler than it really is. It's f**king simple mac and cheese. It's not cool at all, it's convenient.
Also no one grows up wanting to be an annoying ass mall kiosk barker. Let's not romanticize it.

On Fridays in Catholic school 1960s, my mother made me either a tuna sandwich on white or a cheese with mayo on white sandwich. Those were the days when Catholics couldn't eat meat on Fridays.
Now I'm wondering what Sister Domitian would've done had I brought in a liverwurst sandwich on a Friday. Perhaps a good beating would've been in store.

Thanks for the nightmares...yea - I remember the 'Tuna Fridays', too.
What made it worse was I went to a poor Catholic school that didn't have any AC or fans and they got really hot and stuffy at either the end of the school year, or the beginning of the next.
This made those Tuna-on-Wonderbread smeared with mayo sammies pretty disgusting by lunch. Didn't go together very well with those stinkin' room-temperature cartons of expired milk they used hand out and MAKE us drink. If you didn't have to get a hall pass from a penguin to go puke by 2, you ended up with the 'charley tuna belches' for the rest of the afternoon.
