    Indeed. It’s frightening to know that people eat this chemical shit that shouldn’t be called food.

      Its canola oil, fake cheese, and yellow food dye. Better than whatever monstrosity Taco Bell comes up with.

        What a weird take. Both are shit tier foods. Not sure what makes spray cheese somehow better.

        Don’t get me wrong, I love shit tier foods! And I think people should be free to enjoy them as they please. But what in the world makes one overly processed product better than the other? We aren’t comparing a 5 course meal at a 5 star restaurant to a bowl of instant ramen. You’re comparing stuff in the same tier as each other.

    -“Weeeeelllll, about that…”

    -“Aw, well at least we get some real cheese!”

    -“…”

      I dunno. I bought american cheese sauce because I thought americans love their cheese so the sauce will be good. Tastes like plastic.

        Same the Americans love their cheese is a bit like saying that the French love baguettes.

        They do love their baguettes but they don’t have much interest in any other type of bread. Equally Americans are not interested in any type of cheese that isn’t neon yellow

          The two cheeses in my American house at the moment are brie and munster. And the bread is a loaf of sourdough and some ciabatta rolls.

      I agree with your sentiment, and I haven’t had it for probably like 20 years, but it’s nasty. As an American, I don’t understand it. I won’t tell anyone they shouldn’t eat it (except for pointing out how much salt it has in it), but it really shouldn’t exist I don’t think. There are better ways to eat unhealthy things.

    I love it. It actually contains cheese too. The ingredients aren’t any worse than boxed mac and cheese.

      I’ve tried american boxed mac n cheese once. I think it was also kraft brand. It was utterly disgusting. Had nothing to do with cheese and barely with maccaroni… eating a block of butter is a strangely similar yet more pleasant experience and probably more nutritious.

        What the fuck are you cheese Nazis on about? Why do you keep saying things aren’t cheese when they are made of cheese?

          Just because something is made out of something doesn’t mean it is that thing. Here in Germany for example, sth that doesn’t contain at least 50% actual cheese cannot be sold as „cheese“ but as „made out of cheese“.

          And actually, American kraft mac n cheese sauce mix does not even contain cheese at all and neither does spray cheese. It contains dairy products like whey and milkfat but literally no actual cheese.

          I have no problems with cheese dips or processed cheese that are sometimes less then 10% cheese and mostly just water, fat and some other processed dairy products. They‘re also quite far removed from actual cheese but for one, they actually include cheese and more importantly, they don’t taste like I’m eating warm butter that dreams of being a real cheese someday.

          Never tried spray cheese but to be honest, I don’t really feel the need to. I’m certain that actual cheese, be it gouda, emmental, camembert, parmesan, cheddar, brie, edam, mimolette, gorgonzola, feta, mozzarella, fol épi or really almost any non processed cheese does a better job at being cheese than spray cheese, that, per definition, at least where I live, literally isn’t cheese at all.

            I’m looking at the ingredients right now and both products say that they have cheddar cheese.

            Though I would imagine the United States’ rules for what can be called cheese vs what can’t is a lot different than Germany

              From what I read on the Web, they don’t specify cheese at all in the ingredients list… And I was looking at the US sites

          It contains fat and whey but it’s certainly isn’t cheese.

    I feel like this product would be better if it didn’t pretend to be cheese, but just some form of spread.

      From Wikipedia:

      “Processed cheese spreads, like Easy Cheese, have a moisture content that ranges from 44 to 60%, while its milk fat content must be greater than 20%.[4] Milk proteins are needed for processed cheese spread production, and contains two main types: casein, which accounts for at least 80%, and whey protein, which can further be classified into α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin. The manufacturing of processed cheese spreads uses natural cheese with a composition that ranges from 60 to 75% intact casein.”

      It’s cheese.

    So there’s a scene in A Goofy Movie where a guy gets paid for his part in some shenanigans by some edible substance in a spray bottle. Given that I was a kid in a non-English speaking country growing up and watching this movie dubbed to my native language, the substance that the character proclaims that he has received is ‘Caramel sauce’.

    It was only later in life, when I watched the movie with the original English language, that I learned that the character in reality proclaimed ‘Cheez-Wiz’.

    All of this to say that the concept of spray cheese was so foreign to our country that they decided to substantially change this scene.

    Looking back, I think they should have kept the original - gulfing down caramel sauce straight from the bottle just doesn’t hit the same as gulfing down spray cheese.
