I have dieted most of my life but I have never heard of Skinny Cow or Laughing Cow products until I joined 3FC.
Do you have to get these in health food stores? I do all the grocery shopping and cooking in our family and never heard of them or seen them in the supermarket.

You can get any Laughing Cow cheeses in most regular grocery stores wherever the cheeses are. The generally come in a round box with-you got it-a picture of a laughing cow on it. I think they are really delicious and the low cal ones have only 35 calories in them. Hope this helps.
Everyone in my house loves Skinny Cow. The last time I was at Walmart I found a bunch of Coupons for them...now I just need a good sale to go with the coupons and I will be stocking up.
The Laughing Cow cheeses at my grocery store are in an end cap area in the frozen section, near the milk but not right by it. They're not refrigerated, just on a shelf.
Laughing Cow Cheese at my Publix is on the end cap with the peperoni and beef jerky...so if you don't find it in the cheese section, you may want to look there.
I was soo excited to try the laughing cow cheese but i couldn't find it anywhere. I finally did on the shelf but cheese that's not refrigerated kinda weirds me out lol but they look good on the commercials ..should I try it anyways?
Laughing Cow has an interesting history: A military history museum in France has early logo designs.
"It turns out that the original laughing cow was thought up by a well-known cartoonist Benjamin Rabier when he was serving as an officer in the military during World War One. He painted a laughing cow on the trucks transporting the soldiers' meat rations along with the word "Wachkyrie", which was supposedly to poke fun at the Germans' own supplies trucks that were decorated with the mythical Walkyries of Norse legend (popularized in Germany by Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries").
Said in French, "Wachkyrie" sounds like "Vache Qui Rit", which seemed to amuse the other French soldiers, including a certain young dairy farmer, Léon Bel. In fact, he like it so much that in 1921 he asked Rabier to draw him a new version specifically for his newly created soft cheese, La Vache Qui Rit. Rabier gave the original cow a new red coat and little cheese box earrings, et voila, the laughing cow was born."
