Ya, that dimple with chile jam in it sounds like the bomb, so to speak. Haven't noticed a cream cheese shortage.
I had never seen chili jelly/jam before my mother in law gave us some for Christmas years ago. I thought what an odd thing to turn into a jelly/jam and I am not sure I have ever tried it. She has given us some off and on for years. My dad eats it.
My mother in law is not making the chili jam/jelly bought buying it a store that sells locally made products. We traveled to a store/company in the middle of no where that makes fruit cakes last Christmas. We have been trying to go there for years but something always stops us from going.
They make some danged good fruit cakes, candies, and other holiday treats. I noticed they had chili jam/jelly and apple butter. I bought some apple butter but let the chili jam/jelly on the shelf. 
The chili jam/jelly is likely pretty good but not something I would want for breakfast and can't really figure out what I would use it with at other times. Putting on a cracker with cream cheese sounds ok as like as it is not a Ritz cracker. I really do not like them things. Never have. I guess if you just use a Ritz cracker as a spoon to carry something that tastes good a Ritz might be worth eating.
Later,
Dan

Chili Jelly/Jam is basically Cowboy Candy.

Not sure "good" is a word I'd use. I tried that once years ago. Once was enough, changed the whole flavor of whatever it was I was trying to make, and not for the better.
I like yogurt OK, but using it in the place of sour cream is like substituting Tab for Coke.

I first noticed the bare cream cheese shelves about two weeks ago south central KY. But then good bagel shops are far and few between too.
Also, while there are still plenty of options, I am noticing some bare shelves in the yogurt area.

It's a Blizzard! It isn't as sickly sweet as Mountain Dew, probably why we don't see it much anymore.

Our local Food Lion had a special on cream cheese last week, two single 8 ounce packs for $5.00. The 2 pack carton was regularly priced at $4.79. Go figure.
