Individually wrapped slices of cheese have always seemed pretty egregious to me
That's actually an oxide layer of plastic that naturally forms on Kraft singles after the manufacturing process.
For that reason, alongside the important aspect of taste, I always recommend deli-style American. Kraft Deli Deluxe, or Land-o-Lakes, or any number of other brands.
Deli-style often comes in a brick, pre-sliced and offset for quickly peeling slices away from one another (like how restaurants do it). It’s firmer, due to a reduced milk content compared to the Kraft singles, and holds its shape better under heat while still being the perfect, melty sandwich cheese that American is. There’s a reason some of the best burger chains use deli-style American as their main cheese.
This is the best advice I've received all day, and I had a meeting with a mortgage advisor earlier.
"cheese"
We have actual cheese in europe individually wrapped. It's a thing.
I worked in the grocery department of a major retailer and Kraft singles came in on unrefrigerated pallets.
I've never seen that. They always come in with the refrigerated dairy. Maybe the boxes of Velveeta loaves, but definitely not the singles.
Especially because wax paper works fine
Maybe, but they last a lot longer in the fridge
I mean they used to. These days I definite prefer cheese to “cheese”
