[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cream cheese specifically, is the exact same thing.

At Giant yesterday, my DD went to get cream cheese and came back with two Phillies.

I said "Whoa, whoa whoa. Hang on. Where's the Giant brand. She had no clue about the distinction."

$2.59 vs $4.59. [/quote]

In most cases yes, but not for frosting unfortunately. Only time I buy Philadelphia is for cakes- store brand and others sometimes develop waxy “flecks”…[/quote]

Really? I will pay closer attention next time. I have never noticed a difference. I buy The cheaper product and if Philadelphia is on sale and cheaper than storebrand, and that’s what we buy.

[/quote]

The waxy flecks seem to develop (or maybe just become more noticeable) when the cream cheese is being whipped with the sugar. It doesn’t happen every time even with the same generic brand which is interesting. But enough that the risk ($ and time!) of ruined cream cheese frosting isn’t worth it.

I actually didn’t figure this out- read in somewhere after another ruined batch and switched to Philadelphia- haven’t had the same problem since.[/quote]
