When I was a teen, cheese whiz on a (homemade) biscuit was a big thing for me. I haven’t had the stuff in so long.

At least it doesn’t come in a pressurized can.

Nor does it come in a plastic tube with a star-shaped opening to squeeze the cheese spread through.

Always reminds me of family trips in the summer. That on some crackers and some fruit while enjoying the luxury of a highway reststop

I hate to disappoint, but I’m not much of a cheese person. Mainly Italian cheeses, and not fake stuff if I can avoid it.
I do love fresh mozzarella so much, especially in a Caprese salad.

Well, you’re in luck! Because this ain’t cheese, it’s a Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product.

Battalion Chief Steve Martin, the Columbus Fire Division’s media spokesman, said the man’s description of the device suggested he was working on a small nuclear reactor and included references to a particle accelerator and alpha waves.
The man told bomb squad, arson fire investigators and medics on scene that he sustained “radio frequency burns” while working on a “quantum physics generator” in his garage, Martin said.
[…]
A nuclear specialist brought to the scene found in the garage what was identified as a homemade capacitor, Martin said. A capacitor is a device which consists of two or more separate conducting plates and is used to store an electric charge, not unlike a battery.

Surely this is viral marketing for some Cheech and Chong reboot.

Three Treasury Department economists have published a working paper finding that these notices increased health insurance sign-ups. Obtaining insurance, they say, reduced premature deaths by an amount that exceeded any of their expectations. Americans between 45 and 64 benefited the most: For every 1,648 who received a letter, one fewer death occurred than among those who hadn’t received a letter.
In all, the researchers estimated that the letters may have wound up saving 700 lives.

So things didn’t get interesting, biologically, until enough of it could survive it and use it when in contact with the stuff. Oxygen is nasty in pure form.

Just one more thing erased from history by those mad scientists at CERN
Like many others, we were under the same misconception as many other American that Cheez Whiz was once available in an aerosol-like spray can. However, that product is actually another Kraft Foods snack called Easy Cheese.
There’s much back-and-forth on this, and some Internet chatterers point to a scene in the 1980 comedy classic “The Blues Brothers,” in which Dan Aykroyd, as Elwood Blues, is showing his brother “Joliet” Jake (John Belushi, of course) around the dilapidated flophouse where he lives.
“Did you get my Cheez Whiz, boy?” an old man says to Elwood, who tosses the geezer what we assume is a can of Cheez Whiz.
We summoned Kraft Foods senior manager Basil Maglaris, who reviewed the movie, and he concludes that Elwood is actually tossing Easy Cheese.
“You can clearly see the triangular Nabisco logo on the can,” says Maglaris. “There’s little doubt.”

TIL:
- The top scientists in the world are just as human as the rest of us;
- A new factoid about a beloved movie;
- Even corporate executives are willing to cast aside their prejudices in pursuit of the truth.
