I think, the idea is that you buy their cheese, not just any cheese...

If cheese commercials are anything like the old milk commercials, then they're from the dairy lobby, and they're just for any old cheese.

We had those for eggs too.

They're probably all owned by Nestle anyway

They literally paid Domino's millions to find ways to put more cheese in pizza, we are clearly not eating enough cheese.

But, Mister Cheese, I'm up to 12 blocks of cheddar a day. I haven't shat in 3 weeks. I can't eat any more! Even the Swiss... It's just more holes for the old cheese to fill!

The answer is to put cheese in the crust. If fucking Papa Johns can do it, Domihoes can.

Pretty sure they did, and then they put pepperoni to catch the cheese, and you know where this leads..

If there is anything the US Government loves funding as much as war and """clean""" coal, it's dairy.

Or corn. Basically any of the staples of states that gets them electoral college votes.

But if there were no commercials how would I discover new innovative products like "cheese-stuffed cheese"?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

You say this but the us didnt eat cheese in such quantity until after WW2 where excess milk was turned to cheese and the government not only propped up the industry but also created cheese and milk propaganda.

Bring me your most expensive cheese, stuffed with your second most expensive cheese.

In France they have a specific time in kindergarden for cheese tasting, aside from getting some at lunch.

France is keeping the acquired tastes acquired for big Cheese.

It's to remind you that you need more cheese. I almost was down to the Kraft Singles the other day. Those commercials saved my life.

The dairy industry would have a lot to benefit from funding a cure for lactose intolerance (e.g. AAV + lacz gene like in the thoughtemporium video)
