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

      I’ve bought plenty like that, they’re sliced and bundled together in a plastic container. Unless there is some substance between them that I’m unaware of

        I was talking about the outer plastic.

        The kind of cheese slices I’m thinking of are sort of a solidified cheeze-wiz substance, I suspect that if there was nothing between them they’d merge back together into the blob they were probably originally extruded from.

          Not only that, but iirc they are packaged in liquid form and it solidifies into flat sheets as they are pressed together.

        Those aren’t individually wrapped in slippery plastic.

        That kind of “cheese” is super melty, you can get American cheese made just like other cheese, it just isn’t this.

        • My point is that deli slices of American cheese don’t come individually wrapped. They’re usually wrapped in wax paper and tossed in a bag. It’s only the artificially shelf stable shit that does. Unfortunately people are lazy and don’t want to wait 5 minutes so it’s more popular.
