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

      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?

                You stated that American cheese contains plastic

                it’s pretty bold to lie like this when there’s a log of my comments just above yours showing that i didn’t say that. but, go on and show me the quote where i said it “contains plastic”

                I don’t “disagree”

                no, you lied.

                this is a factual statement with a factual answer.

                and that fact is that you made up a little story to make yourself feel important.

                You are simply wrong

                except you lied about what i said-- i never said, “American cheese contains plastic”

                  You literally said: “If you like eating melted plastic”. Are you going to claim that this doesn’t imply that American cheese contains plastic?

                  It’s pretty bold to lie like this when there’s a log of your comments just above yours showing you said that.

                    i’m not responsible for what you infer. if you misunderstood what i said due to poor language skills or for whatever reason, that’s not my fault.

                    You literally said: “If you like eating melted plastic”

                    but i accept this as an admission that you lied.
