The cooking crème was awful. I got some for free with a coupon and nobody
liked whatever it was that I made with it. Then again, I don't use cream
cheese in much that I cook. Mainly only desserts when I do use it. People
didn't want to buy it at cheap clearance prices either. I think part of the
problem was that it came seasoned already. And it had a weird texture.

I don't know why people think there is a need for premade sauces like that.
Maybe some people do use them. I do buy BBQ sauce once in a while. I'm
sure it would be easy enough to make. But I use it with Little Smokies and
it makes a super quick meal. But other sauces? Just no. I prefer to make
my own.
