I just went to Publix recently to buy a tub of Philadelphia Spinach and Artichoke cream cheese. It is one of the smaller tubs and costs $1.99.
The base is exactly like the regular soft cream cheese that Philly makes in the tubs - not the type that comes in blocks. I prefer the block-style cream cheese but this wasn't too bad. There are small bits of artichoke hearts and spinach mixed into the cream cheese. You can taste the artichoke but the flavor is not overpowering as for the spinach, I was not able to taste that at all. I'm not even sure why it was added, perhaps it was just for visual appeal because I surely was not able to taste it.
It was good and I have purchased it since the first time I tried it. I am not sure if it was something that I would purchase on a regular basis but it is great if you want to try something different and you are bored of plain old cream cheese. If Kraft introduced a fat free or lower fat version of this it would surely bomb but the regular was quite good. It tastes a lot like the spinach dip that you eat at parties that is usually surrounded by a round bread bowl. This stuff would be great if eaten on crackers, or fresh bakery bread. I put my cream cheese on those yummy potato rolls from Publix.
