I knew cheddar was going to win. Even a hamburger joint here that touts a ‘cheddar burger’ that uses process cheddar. It looks suspiciously like American. There was no point to the poll except to see how high up the also-rans would get.
I struggled with the earlier cheese match-ups, but as it came down to the wire, I just considered which cheese I use most. It’s cheddar, hands down. Of course, this was made simpler by the fact that I have two or three types of cheddar in the fridge at all times.
As for the pockets, now that I’m retired, I now almost exclusively wear stretchy elastic-waist pants. Most of them do have pockets, but I don’t dare put anything heavier than tissues in them - certainly not keys or a cellphone - for fear they’ll just sag right down to my knees.
Aw, boring old cheddar wins. It’s o.k. for casseroles, but I don’t like it as an eating cheese (like with cheese and crackers). I love harvarti with a tiny dollop of chutney on a cracker. Yum.
And after boring cashews wins? Eh.
As for Starbursts, I know what they are, but I don’t eat them. If I were offered one I might take it, but it’s not a candy I have much interest in – whatever the flavor. Cherry is fine.
Cheddar isn’t boring if you try the varieties. Perhaps you should check out Yancey’s Fancy.
My favorite cheese to cook with are extra sharp cheddar (no color please), Parmigiano Reggiano, and Gruyère cheeses. I don’t understand why people think Emmentaler is the only Swiss cheese, when the lovely Gruyère also comes from Switzerland. It’s so much more versatile and has a mild, nutty flavor on its own.
I don’t even count starbursts as candy.
I agree on the brand names poll because, bubble wrap. Also, other items I didn’t vote for got a 100% response.
