Cheez Whiz isn't even real fake cheese

The label on Cheez Whiz says, in small lettering, “Process Cheese Product”. As far as I’m concerned, “Process Cheese” and “Cheese Product” both mean “fake cheese”. Putting these together into “Process Cheese Product” suggests to me that it is not even real fake cheese. But it tastes good on bread.

They used these terms, because they were not allowed to use its ** real** name : caulking :smiley:

Check out most cheese nowadays, Morkie. They almost ALL have ‘processed cheese food product’ on them somewhere.

Caveat Emptor

You’d be suprised at what else Kraft puts in their foods. :slight_smile:

I’m still trying to figure out McDonald’s ads for their new McVeggie burger. Every commercial has a warning that, during cooking, the patty may have contacted (word for word) “Chicken or Meat Products”. Does that mean their chicken products aren’t real meat? If you put cheez-whiz on a fake chicken sandwich, would you only get false heaving?

I’ll take a stab and say they mean they were cooked on the same grill as the burgers and/or chicken sandwiches.

I got 10lb a box of Kraft food this week for free from Kraft. they included some velveeta cheese & it wasn’t even refrigerated. 17% fat per serving. I wonder what keeps it fresh.

I think it’s all the latex.

Hint Hint, it’s the Cheese Whiz. :smiley:

Why do you put that happy face there? :eek: It seems as if you’re saying something like we’ve all been eating ground up goat feces, and this all amuses you greatly!

I’ve heard that Walt Disney had his brain cryogenically preserved and his body encased in a giant block of Velveeta.

I was told by a former boss of mine that the cheese sauce in Kraft Macaroni and Cheese dinner (Kraft Dinner to you Canadians) contains Plaster of Paris as a thickening agent, and the Shells ‘n’ Cheese variety contains mucilage for the same purpose. Is this true to your knowledge, ParentalAdvisory?

mmmmm ground up goat feces!

i have to go shuffle off to the kitchen and see if the cheez whiz has the ** real seal** on it

Plaster of Paris? That’d be awfully gritty and make the stuff hard and cruchy, not thick. But then, I don’t work for Kraft so who knows what they could have come up with.

Oh, and RadioWave, I think they say ‘chicken and meat products’ because a lot of people don’t consider anything but beef and maybe pork as meat. In other words, fish, shellfish, chicken do not equal meat.

And goat feces is what gives Cheez Whiz it’s lovely tanginess!

Exactly right, RadioWave, chicken is NOT meat.

meat
n.
The edible flesh of animals, especially that of mammals as opposed to that of fish or poultry

Meat is mammal flesh. In fact, I know many people who call themselves vegetarians that occasionally eat chicken and fish. It really confused me for a while, but now I know.

I’ve always referred to Cheez-Wiz as a “food by-product by-product”. :slight_smile:

especially
adv.
To an extent or degree deserving of special emphasis; particularly.

It does not imply exclusivity. I take your definition to mean that likely everyone thinks of mammal flesh as meat, while a lesser number think of other animal’s flesh as meat. As far as I’m concerned, if it moved under its own power, it’s meat.
