Welcome to Food Crimes! This community is here to collect all and any post about cursed food and generally unusual consumables.

Right now, here’s the rules:

  1. Posts must include an image or video containing food or drink.
  2. It must be unusual or cursed in some way. a. For example, something like Doritos Milk would be unusual, but normal milk would not.
  3. No AI posts whatsoever, and any images that were altered (Ex: Photoshop, Gimp) need to be tagged.

How to tag: To tag your posts, please prepend or append the tag name inside square brackets. For example,[OC] Foo bar baz or foo bar baz [Meta] would be acceptable. Multiple tags will require separate pairs of brackets, like so: [Edited][OC] foo bar baz

Here are the current tags:

Cheese is not supposed to look like that...

I've heard it's cellulose paper, which can be used to roll weed.

I've heard that, but can't and won't confirm it.

I think you’re thinking of the paper in between slices of cheese, whereas the wrapper referenced is a clear plastic wrapper that goes around each individual slice of Kraft American cheese singles. The cheese is also notoriously plastic-like, as you can see in the picture.

No, I mean the clear outer wrapping. Clear cellulose wrapping papers do exist.

I've actually tested this between different brands of wrapped cheese slices (didn't try rolling a J, just tried burning it).

One of my three tests actually burned like paper would, the other two melted as plastic does.

Honestly, I forget which cheese brand had the clear cellulose wrapping, but it would have actually worked as a clear joint paper.

What in the actual fuck, TIL!

That said, I would never ever ever smoke the clear wrapper even if it burnt like paper. Glad your science was just observational haha

I did use a blank page from the Bible as a rolling paper once. I figured the ink was probably not great for the lungs, and it seemed less, idk, sinful to smoke the blank page instead of Psalms.

Yep, no joke. Next time you peel the condom off of a slice of cheese, try burning it. No idea which brands use what, but indeed some use clear cellulose wrapping..

This is insanely bad advice haha

I didn’t see the packaging listed on the website outside of a recent recall. As of September 19, 2023, the wrappers are made of plastic. I wouldn’t suggest inhaling fumes from its combustion.

That's not cheese, that's yellow shrink wrap

"imitation pasteurized processed cheese food"

Most of the more or less authentic Mexican food I've had doesn't actually have much, if any, cheese. That shit ain't cotija either.
