Sounds like a good alternative to Ex-Lax.

I thought I might have a hard time finding it when we moved to the Chicago area, but it's here and I buy it by the case (8 cans I think) at Sam's.

I keep at least four cans in the cabinet at all times. Preferably the Mexican flavor, but I'll get Original if the store is out of it.

HEB and St. Genevieve (Fort Stockton, TX) white wine are the two things that would make me brave El Paso traffic!

I went home by Cloudcroft this last Christmas rather than coming down 54/I-10, LOL!!

They were actually doing a feasibility study for it (HEB/EP), but I don't know what the outcome was.

Probably nil in this economy for the foreseeable future.

"Grated parmesan is-- wait for it-- sprinkle cheese."

That's hilarious! My daughter must be from there in a past life. She's only 5, but calls all shredded cheese sprinkle cheese

According to the RoTel site (which links to the Conagra site), looks like you might have better luck looking at Walgreens. Here's the Where To Buy section of their site. Category is On the Shelf, Brand is Ro*Tel, and Product would be...whichever one you want, but the Ro*Tel I always think of (and is generally used in the queso and casseroles) is just the tomatoes with green chiles. Anyway, I just used El Paso for the city, but you might get more accurate results if you use your zip code.

I just made some ROTEL cheese dip and it's awesome. When it cools, doesn't it turn back to hard cheese again? If so, how do you prevent this? Mine's still hot but is kind of "clabbering" on top.
