Talk:Cheez Whiz

message: Air quotes around the "important" - but everything is relative I suppose.
Cheez Whiz was the slightly more expensive, non-generic, aerosol can cheese ("EZ Cheez" being the cheaper off brand) until this product line was discontinued. Back stock of it was sold until very recently (and at a much increased price) through walmart's product website. Product link below, for proof of existence, as Dan Aykroyd holding up the wrong brand of cheese in a movie seems to have caused some doubt as to its existence in certain online groups.

message: This article is trash, no one ought to ever learn of the atrocities called Cheese Whiz.
:It's popular enough in the states to warrant an article. Besides, it tastes good on crackers.
I actually looked up the article because I didn't know what Cheese Whiz was;  so, from my point of view, it's a keeper, not least as a prime chunk of Americana.  And I love the bit stating that the stuff is "somewhat popular in the US", which to, me sums up processed cheese neatly. --Maikel 17:00, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought the description, "bright, orange, viscous liquid" made it sound exceptionally vile.  For what it is worth, I thik it is better described as a bright yellow paste.  While I agree that it is a particularly American thing, I wouldn't necessarily call it /popular/ over here.  Many parts of American society hold it in contempt -- though maybe less contempt than held for Aerosol Cheese Product... --Mdwyer 01:48, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: What do you consider it's 'type'?  Is it the first processed american cheese food product sold in jars? --Mdwyer 01:50, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  First of it's kind? 

message: Why does the article say it's sold in jars?  isn't actually sold in a can - sort of like a small whipped cream can.

thread_title:  recent vandalism 

message: Sorry if I was wrong to revert, but a cursory search of the usual suspects shows no such person as Edgar Romp III, and the Wikipedia entry for Processed cheese states that it was invented by Walter Gerber and patented in the US by James L. Kraft.
The part about South African tribes just sounds silly.  But I could be wrong.

message: I removed the mention of Velveeta in the beginning of the article because Velveeta is a process cheese product rather than a process cheese food. Cheez Whiz Lite is a process cheese product as well, but regular Cheez Whiz seems to be just called a process cheese sauce. It has to be either process cheese food or process cheese product, but I can't find out which. Anyone?

message: For a long time it was sold in pressurized Reddi-Wip-like spray cans under that name. I don't know whether "Easy Cheese" is the same product under a new name. A search on exact phrase "can of Cheez Whiz" in Google Books turns up numerous references. A few at random:
p. 115 Dec 2001 Popular Mechanics, “a door that sounded like a bank vault when the car was new now sounds like a Cheez Whiz can rolling down a cobblestone hill.”
“A Woman at War” By Molly Moore, 2002, p. 147: “I devoured half a box of Ritz crackers and most of a spray can of Cheez Whiz.”
“Attack of the Mole Master” By Dan Danko, Tom Mason: “Pete held out an old can of Cheez Whiz. Dried orange “cheese” was encrusted around the spout. Pete put the Cheez Whiz tip in his mouth and began sucking cheese as he listened."
Too lazy to copy references now but a few others, each from a different source:
“I’m guessing one of the nimrods threw that aerosol can of Cheez Whiz into the fire.” 
“No, but I have a can of Cheez Whiz. I’ll write your number on the counter with it, then find a pen and copy it” “Calvin opens the drawer of the desk, gets out some crackers and a can of Cheez-Whiz. He sprays Cheez-Whiz on a cracker. A big gob of it drops on the floor.”
“…where the fish, ruined by handouts, swam up to the divers expecting an aerosal burst from a can of Cheez-Whiz”
“Calvin opens the drawer of the desk, gets out some crackers and a can of Cheez-Whiz. He sprays Cheez-Whiz on a cracker.”

message: Cheez Whiz is mentioned in the movie "Avengers Endgame" ; but it references a situation which might be a "spoiler", and I don't know how Wikipedia can accommodate that.
From IMDB Quotes :
"Thor: [arguing over which Avenger is strong enough to wield the Infinity Gauntle] Do you know what is coursing through my veins right now?
James Rhodes: Cheez Whiz?"
The inclusion in the movie, does suggest Cheez Whiz is well-enough known to justify a Wikipedia article.
