Velveeta Is Selling Cheese-Filled Chocolate
Does this sound like a good mash-up, or would it be a hard pass? Velveeta is now selling CHEESE-FILLED CHOCOLATE.
They partnered with a gourmet candy company called Compartés (pronounced com-PAR-tays). They're available online while supplies last, so it's a limited-time-only thing.
They're called Velveeta Chocolate "TruffVels". Each one is shaped like Velveeta Shells & Cheese pasta, and they're not cheap. A box of five costs 25 BUCKS.
They're filled with the same stuff that comes in boxes of their mac-and-cheese. So they went with a cheese SAUCE, not old-school bricks of Velveeta.
If the cheese isn't a deal-breaker for you, this might be: The shells are WHITE chocolate, not milk chocolate. They used food coloring to make them yellow.
Someone who tried them said they're more cheesy than chocolatey, and the filling really is, quote, "Velveeta in all its glory." They're available at Compartes.com.

AMC Theaters Will Start Selling Generic Candy Because Name-Brand Candy Is Too Expensive?
The price of going to the movies keeps soaring, but AMC Theaters has found one way to keep prices down: GENERIC CANDY.
The CEO of AMC says that the prices THEY are being charged for wholesale candy have gotten out of control since the pandemic . . . so they came up with a plan to "manufacture their own private-label brand of popular candies."
The idea is that they could make their own stuff and charge LESS money for it and still have a higher profit margin than carrying name-brand sweets. They didn't say which candies they'd be mimicking.
AMC says their candies will start showing up at concession stands as early as THIS FALL. They WILL still carry some of the name-brand stuff for anyone who's willing to pay more to get it.
