What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic? - eviltoast

Title.

It feels like such a waste.

EDIT: This is the type of cheese I am referring to. It comes wrapped in a piece of plastic then bundled together with x more and all of them get covered in plastic

    “American cheese”. I searched for an image and conveniently Wikipedia shows one with the clarification that it’s an “American cheese single”.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_cheese

    But, imagine ten or twenty of those individually wrapped slices wrapped together in another bit of plastic.

    You can hit an image search for “American cheese singles” and find a lot more examples.
