Comment on What is the point of individually wrapping cheese slices in plastic, only to cover a bunch of them in more plastic?

  I’ve bought plenty like that, they’re sliced and bundled together in a plastic container. Unless there is some substance between them that I’m unaware of

    I was talking about the outer plastic.

    The kind of cheese slices I'm thinking of are sort of a solidified cheeze-wiz substance, I suspect that if there was nothing between them they'd merge back together into the blob they were probably originally extruded from.

      Not only that, but iirc they are packaged in liquid form and it solidifies into flat sheets as they are pressed together.

  You ever go to a deli?

    Those aren’t individually wrapped in slippery plastic.

    That kind of “cheese” is super melty, you can get American cheese made just like other cheese, it just isn’t this.

      My point is that deli slices of American cheese don’t come individually wrapped. They’re usually wrapped in wax paper and tossed in a bag.
