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

    It probably melts and you have one block of cheese once it’s on the shelves of the store. (I’d have to test that hypothesis. But that stuff is really sticky and soft. I bet you can’t slice it and have it stay like that any other way.)

    Other than that: convenience. People even buy pre-sliced Gouda.
