I feel I should respond to this, because I mentioned Al Gore and the Information Superhighway. Please note I did not include anything about Gore inventing the Internet. I just mentioned the Superhighway. Moreover, from Snopes: "It is true, though, that Gore was popularizing the term "information superhighway" in the early 1990s (although he did not, as is often claimed by others, coin the phrase himself) when few people outside academia or the computer/defense industries had heard of the Internet, and he sponsored the 1988 National High-Performance Computer Act (which established a national computing plan and helped link universities and libraries via a shared network) and cosponsored the Information Infrastructure and Technology Act of 1992 (which opened the Internet to commercial traffic)." So there.

(Of course being from the Midwest we know the difference between REAL cheese and a chemical look-alike.)
Originally Posted By SingleParkPassholder From Wikipedia: Cheez Whiz Cheez Whiz is a thick processed cheese sauce or spread introduced by Kraft Foods in 1952. The bright, yellow, viscous liquid usually comes in a glass jar, and is used as a topping for corn chips, hot dogs, cheesesteaks, and other foods. It is popular in the United States, Canada, and the Philippines. Cheez Whiz can also be used as a spread on crackers. Cheez Whiz is one of a number of "processed cheese foods", a category including similar products like Velveeta and some types of individually-wrapped cheese slices. These products contain regular cheese that has been reprocessed along with additional ingredients such as emulsifiers and stabilizing agents, such as xanthan gum or carrageenan. These products derive their tanginess and flavor from additional ingredients such as citric acid and flavoring compounds. Annatto is used for coloring.

Oh and California I've seen your ads about Happy Cows come from California and real California cheese. Back off, everyone knows Wisconsin is dominant in the cheese business.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 My dad and grandparents are from Philly, and trust me, the typical Philly cheesesteak does indeed come with cheeze whiz or American, unless you're smart enough to ASK for provolone. With the strong Italian influence in South Philly, that is considered acceptable. Swiss? Nope.

Wisconsin makes about 2.14 billion pounds of cheese per year, California makes about 2.1 and is rising fast. California already produces more milk than Wisconsin, and has done so for about 10 years now.

And now I'm addicted and have the hips to prove it. I love pretty much every kind of cheese - including Easy Cheese (Sharp Cheddar, if you please) which is especially delicious on Nabisco's Chicken in a Biscuit crackers - but Cheez Whiz is bleecch. *L* I certainly wouldn't put it on any sandwich.

Originally Posted By wonderingalice ^^Yeah, but when you take into consideration the many thousands of pounds manufactured in Wisconsin for the sole purpose of creating headgear... Welllll... That just shoots down all other arguments.
