Ghostbusters went about it all wrong didn't they. Typical defense contractor big spending.

Sort of. Regular vacuum bags don't hold ghosts very long after the vacuum's turned off, and ones made specifically for ghosts didn't filter dust well. So the Ghostbusters had better, professional equipment that wasn't necessarily available to laymen, and wasn't always necessary for every job, but was absolutely the best at doing what it was designed for. Kind of like exterminators as compared to traps and sprays you can buy at the store.

A vacuum is fine for mundane hauntings and, like, transfers of benevolent spirits, but for dangerous hauntings and possessions, you want pros with the right equipment.

People get bent out of shape when someone calls a Kraft single cheese. Really buying in to the propaganda from the cheese council.

I would just like to point out that there is an actual kind of cheese called American cheese and it is not Kraft singles. It’s merely another, closely-related horrible abomination

Isn't it the cheese council who wants to prevent people from referring to Kraft singles as cheese? Aren't they the ones who would be bent out of shape?

Only Canadianism I know of related to cheese is how "Kraft Dinner" became a common synonym for macaroni & cheese since that was what they called their product and it was so dominant.

Shockingly, Britain is actually very good for cheese. Even the most gammony britisher still buys Cheddar, which is an actual real cheese and generally pretty good and is rightfully snobby about the plastic texture of American cheese. And once you move beyond that we somehow have more varieties of cheese than France. My local cheese shops have lines going out the door and into the street, demand for specialty cheeses is so strong. It's wild.

American cheese, even the individually wrapped slices kind, is also "an actual real cheese." It's not loving fictional. And if you think it has a "plastic texture" then you probably forgot to unwrap it before trying to eat it. Yes, I too prefer cheddar; that doesn't mean american cheese isn't "real."

You.might want to lookore carefully at the labels. A lot of it is actually a "cheese food product", which means made with at least some actual cheese, but mostly consists of sodium caseinate and other dairy derivatives. Especially the cheap individually wrapped stuff.

If you love the texture and glorious melting properties of American cheese, buy some sodium citrate. Nothing exotic about it, just citric acid with a sodium atom attached to get it polar. Heat some milk, add the citrate, and then add whatever real cheese you want. The citrate keeps the proteins from clumping and gives that smooth texture. Depending on how much cheese you add, you can make anything from a thin sauce to a sliceable block when cooled. I've done it with a nice aged Cheddar and it comes out amazing.

i always find it weird when you find people online who believe in the america conspiracy. like, there's somehow magically a whole extra country between canada and mexico that nobody has ever seen or been to but also just happens to rule the world. classic

There is cheese-like crap you can buy but we all know the haters are not being that precise and are tarring all the singles with the same brush. You'll hear people say the word "processed" as if that means poisoned.

American Cheese is real. It's even a "real" cheese. Kraft even sell it pre-sliced.


American Kraft Singles are real, but not a "real" cheese - they are a "Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product".

Yeah, anything sold as actual "American cheese" is literally that only with a mild Cheddar or Colby as the base. "Processing" food most of the time is just stuff you'd happily do in your own kitchen or let a restaurant kitchen do for you, but people get real weird when it's on a shelf that way.

:ms:

American cheese is pretty much the best cheese for hamburgers, and if you're a white American then there's a 99.9% chance every "queso" you've ever eaten was made with white American.

The confusion lies in that American cheese and those plastic Kraft singles are synonymous, when as demonstrated above they are very different.
