#1 The local Mickey D's which I patronize has lately times run out of plastic-eating utensils, milk, + has been seemingly been putting thinner-sliced beef patties in its sammiches.

Going the way of Xerox paper, toiletries, + hand soap.

COINCIDENCE, YOU SAY, I THINK NOT!

D *** NGED SOLAR FLARE!

#4 ...Nimble is on to something. Velveeta is to cheese as Spam is to ham.

Maybe the USDA has some "cheese" left over from the 90's that can be "quantitatively eased" into the market to prevent rioting..?

#6 >Velveeta is to cheese as Spam is to ham.

From viewing pictures of this alleged cheese that looks to be true.

#7 As long as Cheez Whiz supplies are okay there's nothing to worry about.

#8 ...AlanC is correct...not having to cut said cheese will save much trouble...

#9 I thought the Obama White House was the strategic cheese reserve.

#10 I've heard that in Hawaii they keep warehouses full of SPAM just to make sure they never get into this kind of situation.

Ok. Who cut the cheese? Or should that be who moved my cheese?

(this thread is getting rather cheesy...)

That's right, y'all cheddar knock it off before it gets silly.

Velveeta is to cheese as Vegemite is to Marmite.

#15 Perhaps this is whey off base, but -

Smoothness and melt ability are promoted as its properties that result by reincorporating the whey with the curd.

So I suppose one curd argue it's Miss Muffet food.

#18 Velveeta looks like the dried end I cut off the cheddar when the plastic wrap slipped off in the fridge.

Come to Wisconsin and we'll treat you to cheese curds so fresh, they squeak when you bite into them.

#19 I long to go to the fall farmer's market on the capital square in Madison.

#20 Mom - do you mean what we called 'squeaky cheese' here in Washington State. Used to live in Mt. Vernon close to the Cascade Cheese Factory there (some time ago). Stop by every once in a while and get some squeaky cheese.

Of course I'm sure Wisconsin has much more and bigger.

#21 And you can also get really good squeaky cheese in Tillamook Oregon, AND they have a pretty good Warbirds museum about a half mile south in one of the last WWII blimp hangars.
Go for the birds, stay for the curds.
