Cheez Whiz

So, when we used to go on road trips growing up, Mom would get us Triscuits and Cheez Whiz because it didn’t require any refrigeration and made a good snack. (I think Mom would never feed us Cheez Whiz anymore, but it was delicious at the time.)

Cheez Whiz is one of those nostalgic, childhood snacks. Even though it is disgusting when you really think about it, especially the “No Refrigeration Required” printed around the upper part of the container.

Joey thinks Cheez Whiz is for people who were born without any taste buds or sense of decorum.

I think it is delicious.

(At least I used to.)

Since he’s been gone, I bought myself a box of Triscuits and a thingy of Cheez Whiz to eat as hors d’oeuvres while I waited for my Lean Cuisine and Hot Pockets to heat up in the microwave. (Yes, folks, I REALLY HAVE BEEN EATING LIKE THAT. It’s awful.)

Last night I figured I ought to finish off the Cheez Whiz, since not much was left. So I squished out a few more Triscuits than normal and polished them all off with flair. My stomach started feeling wierd about the time I tried to drink my grapefruit Izze an hour or so later, but I chalked it up to the disgusting Lean Cuisine I had eaten for dinner.

Then, at 4:00, I woke up abruptly. Feeling…really nasty.

Like maybe I was going to upchuck.

I drank a few sips of water, walked around the house, and then put myself back to bed and forced myself to fall asleep.

As I was laying there trying to obey myself, I thought about the last few days and realized I haven’t been feeling very good most evenings and when I wake up in the night… and it seems like it starts kind of around the time I consume my evening quotient of Cheez Whiz.

This really disappoints me because I was very prepared to like Cheez Whiz again. But I’m pretty sure it upsets my stomach. I didn’t have this problem until Friday Night when I bought the stuff.

But when I think about it, my stomach is probably just revolting against the fact that I’d put something so…creepy in it. I mean, it IS shelf stable cheese product. What does that even mean…

Here, let me translate that label for you…
Self-stable= will survive a nuclear fallout with the roaches
Cheese product= they pretend it is really dairy and think that we should as well.

Seriously, Cheez Whiz should not be consumed by anyone over the age of 21. I think your body rejects that amount of preservatives, salt, and food coloring the day after you are of age.

I used to love cheez whiz too and then one day it made me super sick! I think this is the quintessential reason I don’t eat bacon, to this day. The stuff was bacon flavored cheez whiz (really? what was I thinking?!?) and after a track workout, I swore to never touch bacon. I’m able to eat turkey bacon, but if I taste the other kind of bacon, I get a little unstable and light-headed.

Sorry the processed foods aren’t nearly as good as they used to be. You should try the Amy’s frozen meals. They are pretty good!

Are you talking about the Cheese Whiz that comes in the spray can, like Redi-Whip in the can? (Which is also shelf-stabilized and apt to cause upset stomachs too.) Somehow, I didn’t think it was called Cheese Whiz……. I thought that stuff came in a jar. MY mom used to feed the stuff in a jar to us when we were kids. It pretends to be cheese too, just doesn’t have the fun squirt top.

I have lots of good memories about the road trips and all, but sorry the food was not as nutritious as it should have been. I was still learning!

My mom made Cheese whiz sandwiches, just cheese whiz between two slices of bread for road trips because she didn’t have to put them in a cooler!
