Waaaay back when Calendars were still made outta stone. So, basically, he missed the 1. Invention of the lightbulb. 2. Internal combustion engines. 3. Square slices of cheese for use on Hamburgers. And the invention of 5A Yoyo style. So he really didn’t miss all that much in the semi partial century he was completely missing. ---

> [@NathanC](#): > > Garbage. No idea why anyone would eat that fake stuff. Hahaha! That tickled me just right that did… _laughs heartily_ I think it has it’s place. What would a Mcdonalds burger be with real cheese? We only eat it because it’s dirt. Sure we know that the “patty” (as I believe you guys would call it) is probably 70% rat meat, and the ‘cheese’ could be used to insulate a house, but hey, it fills a void that sometimes nothing else can fill… Man I could do with a Mcdonalds right about now. ---

It’s funny, those lunchables lunch kits they sell so parents don’t have to make their kids lunch - It’s two crackers, some kind of meat, and Cheese\*. The asterisk leads to small print that clarifies; “Processed Cheese-Food”. Always found it hilarious. Sounds completely inedible, even though I’m sure its tasty ---

> **[American cheese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_cheese)** > > American cheese is a type of processed cheese made from cheddar, Colby, or similar cheeses, in conjunction with sodium citrate, which permits the cheese to be pasteurized without its components separating. It is mild with a creamy and salty flavor, has a medium-firm consistency, and has a low melting point. It is typically yellow or white in color; yellow American cheese is seasoned and colored with annatto. > Processed American cheese was invented in the 1910s by James L.

I’ve never seen them called “Canadian Cheese” or “Canadian Slices” on the packaging. Ever. Which doesn’t mean we don’t use the term “slices”… if you’re at a bbq, you might ask for someone to pass you a slice of cheese. If real cheese is one of the options and you WANT the fake stuff, you just say, “No no, the weird fake stuff, please” or “no, a slice of PROCESSED cheese, please.” “Canadian Cheese”? Never heard of it. ---

Used it as a “Paleo people frown on using sweetener, but if you must use something, maple syrup is one of the better sweeteners” sweetener in last night’s snack.
