I was thinking this would be a pretty useful invention, especially for bachelors, where sliced cheese is pretty much a food group. Something like processed individually wrapped Cheddar cheese would be a trip. Does this exist anywhere? Is there some valid reason if it doesn’t?
This may not count, since it’s not technically cheese, but I get wrapped processed vegan tofu ‘cheese’ slices in several varieties from my grocery store. My personal favorite is the ‘pepper jack’. I’ve never seen any real cheeses like this, though …
Yes, Kraft has Swiss Cheese slices at my store.
I’ve personally seen Kraft singles in Swiss, but in the processing, they take out all the holes. If they make any other varieties, I’ve not seen them.
You know, of course, that you can go over to the deli counter and get slices of just about any cheese you could wish, right? They’re not individually-wrapped, true, but you still don’t have to monkey around with that silly wire slicer whenever you make a sandwich, and it’s usually cheaper than the prepackaged stuff.
You don’t have those?
Hehehe. Kraft’s an American company, yet you don’t get Kraft singles in good old plastic-flavoured cheddar?
Pretty much every kind of cheese sold in blocks is available as individually wrapped slices here (including the revolting vegemite singles).
They used to have “Old English” slices, which, if my taste memory is accurate, were a kind of sharp cheddar. Haven’t seen them lately, though.

At the grocery store in my town, I can get packages of sliced and wrapped cheddar, Swiss, or Monterey Jack cheese.
Tillamook sells sliced cheddar… they’re not individually wrapped, and I don’t think they’re processed… but they come in a block of slices.
But why would anybody with working taste buds want processed cheese, or sliced cheese? 
I’ve seen processed Swiss and processed cheddar (American cheese tastes nothing like cheddar; it tastest like nothing*). But both are hard to find.
I suspect the reason is that if you like the taste of Swiss or cheddar or any other cheese, you’re going to buy the real thing. There’d very little interest in the fake stuff.
*Technically, american cheese is unaged cheddar.
Like you reprise, I found the irony highly amusing! Cheese slices and/or singles (processed Cheddar, aged Cheddar Edam, Gouda, Swwiss) would probably rank as the “food most commonly found in school lunches boxes” in Oz.
