Kids fave... Buy when on sale
I tried to avoid pre-packaged Foods whenever I can but my daughter seriously seems to have a preference for these over homemade options so even though I try to make my own cheese and cracker set up for her, she prefers these quite a bit. But watch for sales as they can be extremely expensive
They taste fake.
I'm not a fan and I find they taste like fake processed cheese. I know the package says 100% real cheese but it just taste "weird" to me. That being said, my kids love them. For a time period I stopped buying them and substituted them with another brand that tasted … more real. My kids complained that they couldn’t “peel” the new brand and it wasn’t as soft. Sigh! So I know purchase them “occasionally” if they are on sale.
Too expensive!
As much as my entire family and I love cheese and the versatility of it, these are not worth the price you pay.
Yes they are handy for outtings, schools luches and quick snacks, I don't buy them. I cut up my own cheese from the brick and wrap it on my own.Cheaper and just as tastey.
Good snack
My boys love cheese strings! It’s a great snack for school or for car rides. I like that there’s different kinds of cheese too but my boys like the marble one.
Good when you're in a pinch!
These are great when I don't have a lot of time and need to bring a snack somewhere. That said, they're pretty expensive and create a LOT of plastic garbage!
Kids like
My kids prefer these in their school lunch. Lol, unless it is my son we are talking about he just wants them every time for snack anytime of day. But at the same time it is a healthy snack anywhere..
In a pinch these are ok, but there is a better one now out there that just came out. Also more budget friendly is just slicing some cheese, which also tastes much better. They are ok for kids luches but I'd skip them.
I personally don't eat them but I love them for the convenience for a snack on the go for the kids. I also think its cute they can make little characters out of them.
I will only ever buy Black Diamond Cheesestrings when they go on sale. At regular price, they cost more than a whole brick of cheese.
They are processed and most definitely not as good for you as real chunks of cheese, but they're good for an on the go snack and a little hit of protein. So I recommend them for convenience sake, but seriously, don't buy these at full price.
I remember I used to see these commercials on TV all the time and I would ask my parents to buy them for me; it was more for the fact that you could make funny cheese people out of it, than for the taste or nutritional value.
In all actuality, the cheese is processed and can taste sort of plastic if it's left to thaw too long at room temperature.
Good for on the go or if you're in a rush, but otherwise I'd say this a miss.
