I need a rumor confirmed re: Dallas area stores (1 Viewer)

[Wheelhouse]

I am told that Dallas area stores have removed Philadelphia cream cheese from their shelves when the Eagles come to town. Is this true? Can anyone confirm this?

 

[stedman]

Not as of yesterday

 

[hellz_fireflies]

Not sure if true..but in phila.they never make their cheese steaks with texas beef when they play the Cowboys.

 

[MacArtist]

Never heard of that. Dallas fans aren't rabid like some of the other fans so I highly doubt it.

 

[Wingnut]

They must do this to keep Andy Reid from buying it all up and eating it.

I am told this from a friend of mine, who is a big Dallas fan. He grew up in the San Antonio area, but he recalls that the stores removed Phila. cream cheese after one particular game - the game in which PHI was soundly beating Dallas and Randall Cunningham was about to take a knee to burn the clock, but instead he passed for a another TD, thus running up the score and angering all of Texas and apparently the person in charge of pulling items off shelves.

Again, this is what my die hard Dallas friend says. I'm wondering if anyone else can confirm this?

 

[Bri]

that's pretty funny

Do they all have hamburgers when they play the Pack?(cheeseheads)

Do they roast a hog when they play the redskins?

I do remember this, but it was maybe a store or two.............somewhere in Texas.

Now this is not true.

Now this is not true.

Dallas is a big city. I could see one or two stores doing it but not city-wide.

 

[JuniorNB]

That is BS!

Just for that, when Philly plays the Cowboys later in the year, I'm throwing out my Debbie Does Dallas VHS.

 

[Wingnut]

What would be impressive is if they pulled all the cans of tuna from Philly shelves when the Cowboys came to town.

What would be impressive is if they pulled all the cans of tuna from Philly shelves when the Cowboys came to town.

Or better yet, stopped selling pills.

 

[Mystery Achiever]

Well, Kraft is in Chicago, so they should technically do this for the Bears games.

Sure it's possible, he's asking if it can be confirmed and I live in the Dallas area, I watch the news every night and read the paper everyday and have yet to hear, read or see this. And so far no other person that has posted has either, but the Phily game is still several weeks away so maybe more will come out in time.

Ice T and his wife was showing this on their show the other day. By the way, is Ice T's wife a porn actress?

That's just wrong.

 

[Idiot Savant]

Better check and see if New York-style pizza is outlawed this week.

 

[WhoDat]

It does not happen in south Texas...Austin, San Antonio and Hill Country...

 

[Wheelhouse]

So are we saying the rumor is busted?

 

[Joe Bryant]

I can say without hesitation that this does not happen. Maybe one mom and pop store some where one time. But that would be it.

or New England games

 

[tim_whatley]

Dallas fans don't get up for the Eagles game the way Philly does for the Cowboys.

Cowboys fans tend to reserve their rivalries for organizations with a least one Superbowl win.

 

[coolnerd]

Oh stop it..If any store I shop did some 3rd grade stuff like that I would never step into that place again.

 

[shiekra]

I heard this a few years ago. I think they may have done it once, a few years ago for one game, but I don't know how many stores did it or any other details about this. But I'm sure I heard on tv back when it happened.

 

[LuckyOne]

It is absolutely amazing what some people will believe.

 

[Brunell4MVP]

It isn't college or HS football, so nobody in texas gives a rats ###

If you were talking about the Texans this would be accurate but Cowboy fandom runs pretty deep.

It should be, regardless.

Sorry, guys, but I DO remember this. . . 1993. I live just south of Dallas and remember Kroger pulling Philadelphia Cream Cheese from the shelves. I haven't seen it since then, so I did a Dallas Morning News Archive Search and here is part of the article. . .

It was kinda clever when Kroger pulled Philadelphia cream cheese off store shelves before the playoff game with the Philadelphia Eagles. John Madden even mentioned it on TV. We all hate the Eagles -- and who can't live without cream cheese for a week? A few local bagel makers weren't too happy about it, but Kroger's move gave us a nice breeze in the pre-game heat. "

"Alright, guys, practice over."Reid drives on the way to his motel, and stops off at a grocery store."Gotta have my Philadelphia cream cheese. *GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE* MMMMMMMM"Sorry for not contributing.

"Hello"

"Do you have Prince Albert in a can?"

"Yes, we do"

"Better let him out before he suffocates!"
