Don't Freeze Cream Cheese...

I bought a six pack of cream cheese at Sam's a couple weeks before Thanksgiving. I froze it so it wouldn't "go bad," even though it doesn't expire for a while. Little did I know that you aren't supposed to freeze cream cheese...it says so on the packaging! It makes it grainy, and it just falls apart the second you touch it. Tastes the same, just looks funny when you first start mixing it. I've made cream cheese corn and small cheese ball with it.
