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

      only because it’s easy to melt, not because it actually taste better than other cheese options such as cheddar, swiss, or pepper jack.

          American “cheese product” can fuck right off. Gouda melts just as well and actually tastes like…you know…cheese.

            Are you scared of emulsifying agents, or what do you call “plastic”? There is no plastic in American cheese.

              if you equate not liking something with being “scared”, that says much ore about you than it does me.

                  i haven’t. just because you disagree with me doesn’t make you right. why are you so self-important that you feel the compulsion to lie? are you so insecure that starting petty fights with internet strangers is your only way to make it through the day?

                  it’s just cheese. it’s not that important (and neither are you).

                    You stated that American cheese contains plastic. It doesn’t. Why do you choose to lie about this?

                    I don’t “disagree”, this is a factual statement with a factual answer. You are simply wrong. Why don’t you accept that?
