GRILLED CHEESE DIPPIN ' STRIPS!!!

GRILLED CHEESE DIPPIN’ STRIPS!

For years now, ever since my kids were little, I have given them a list of options on how I would cut their sandwiches. 

SQUARES, TRIANGLES, AND STRIPES

One night at work, when I was spending more time screwing around than actually doing my job (because that way leads to madness), I came up with an idea for a product: GRILLED CHEESE DIPPIN’ STRIPS (trust me, it sounds wa-a-a-a-y cooler when you say it like the “LET’S GET READY TO RUM-M-M-M-M-MBLE!” guy).  I was bouncing around in the kitchen, all excited about my product idea, calling out “GRILLED CHEESE DIPPIN’ STRIPS” and going on and on about how good they would be and that there are people out there who would buy them.

The idea is pretty simple: make a grilled cheese sandwich, cut it into stripes and package each strip individually (like string cheese), box up the sandwiches with some sort of sauce to dip them in and sell them in the refrigerated food section of the supermarket, right between the deli meats and Lunchables™.  The buyer then places the sandwich and/or sauce in the microwave, heats according to the directions and then seats down to enjoy a nice, warm, quick and easy snack.

I have come up with a short list of different types of Grilled Cheese Dippin’ Strips to choose from, along with the associated “sauce”.

The Classic: American Cheese on White Bread, served with Ketchup.

The Deluxe: Cheddar Cheese on Sourdough, served with 4oz. Cup of Tomato Soup

The Southwest: Pepperjack Cheese on Wheat, served with Chipolte Sauce

The 4-Cheese: American, Swiss, Colby Jack and Cheddar Cheeses on Sourdough, served with Ranch

And The Italian: Provolone and Mozzarella Cheeses on Italian Bread, served with Marinara.

The Regular Size box would come with 2 sandwiches and the sauce and the Family Size would have 8 sandwiches.  There could also be a thick-cut version with thicker slices of cheese that could be marketed in the same way as Campbell’s Chucky Soup™.  Our Target Demographic would be Parents with Young Children, College Kids and Bachelors too lazy to cook.
