As a fellow Dutch man i concur 👍

@@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket There's a ton of processed cheese in Europe. In fact, it was invented in Switzerland over a century ago. I'm sure there's as much Dairylea, Laughing Cow, Primula, and the like eaten in Europe as 'real' cheese, maybe even more.

I appreciate you Dutch, and your contributions to cheese.

Wonder if those were the same caves they converted to house immigration records in the early 2000's.

@JB-pu8ik not that I know of. I brought cheese into them around 2016.

@@AllanHazen Gotcha, thanks!

I have been in them caves too, the first time I went there I legit thought it was a government facility holding ultra secret things but it’s pretty dope, a little tight but pretty dope and chilly

There's one of those in Lee's Summit, Mo ​@@JB-pu8ik

Right? I have still never found something that quite scratches the "poverty nostalgia" itch of the fuggin' grilled cheese sandwich that this cheese created. I've had better? Sure, you can create some nightmare/dream-fuel grilled cheeses with the glut of cheese available now, but nothing touches that bastard.

Actually, the cheese was part of government surplus (surplus food) to the poorest of the poor. We went on gov surplus in 1958 or 60, when the autto workers went on an extended strike. IMO the peanut butter sucked but the cheese was like the big blocks of Velvita and the flavor was to die for!

My grandma called that gnawing cheese. If I was hungry, "go get some gnawin' cheese."

The cheese was good, but the thing I miss the most was the canned beef. Once back in the early 90s we traded a bunch of cans of the terrible peanut butter to another family (they loved the stuff) for their canned beef (which they hated) I thought we had hit the jackpot and everyone was a winner.

As I recall some of it was in the schools as well. At least I think that's what some of the markings on some of the refrigerated school food supplies said that I was tasked with hauling from the walk-in fridge to the kitchen for the lunch ladies to use when I was in High School in the mid 80's. They made mac & cheese with it as well as several other dishes.

I don't know what to do with the I formation I've been given and I am uncomfortable with it.

I feel as If I shouldn't know this

That's a lot of lies in one comment.

Me too. One time, I hauled a load of Kraft cheese to a Walmart DC in Shelbyville TN. For some reason, Walmart and Kraft got their wires crossed and, after waiting for a day, I got paid to take the cheese back to Springfield.

I went to the cheese caves in MO several times when over the road. It was always kinda awe inspiring driving through those caves.

I like MREs. I worked at a windows factory and had these large wooden boxes with hot lights inside and chicken wire on the top to warm up the vinyl in the winter so that it didn't become brittle. I used to throw the MREs on it. Mmmm. It got the cheese monkey off my back.

MRE cheese with Jalapenos is great. It's the peanut butter that blows donkey dicks.

As someone who is in retail I can say the mentality of the populace is crazier than people want to admit. Free is suspicious but Discounted is awesome.

It works a little like this: “Free cheese, but I don’t need cheese. What can I possibly make with cheese?” “Discount cheese? Someone fucked up and now they need to sell it cheap to keep the company afloat, his loss, my savings” I don’t know why my brain works like that, it just does, okay?

There is a story about how they convinced Greeks to start eating potatoes 200 years ago. When the new food source was introduced and was given freely no one was interested. The then ruler of Greece put armed guards around the stockpiles who were ordered to turn a blind eye to ppl stealing the potatoes. People thought the potatoes must be of great value to be guarded so they start stealing them and thus the potato was introduced to the masses

"Free cheese? I can buy better cheese at the grocery store for $1.00" "Cheese for ¢0.25? This is the best deal ever!"

​@@chrismaverick9828 exactly this. Anything free people assume is worth less than 0 aka a risk to self However slightly above and the consumer just believes its just unpopular or the business is desperate for cash

I agree, we need to expand the cheese supply by several orders of magnitude!

Also we could definitely go full send and make multitudes of types of cheese.

1.5 billion pounds is only 5 pounds per American, that’s far too little to be ready for a true disaster scenario.

In short, the US Govt has a horrible habit of over-stockpiling shit that it has absolutely no idea how it's going to get rid of...that is the ultimate "Hoarder" episode that doesn't exist lol

@@bullpupgaming708 Kind of, but not really. In wartime, it's not an inherently bad idea to prepare for worse circumstances than you're currently experiencing. In the US case, that tends to mean building up enough material & ordnance to slug it out with a pantheon. On the assumption that our production ability may be ground to a halt next week.

@@TheAttacker732 More like it's easy to forget how much we go through in wartime, and then after the war's over you have these massive f***ing industries you don't want to collapse all at once. Like how the US is ramping up to produce 1 million rounds of Artillery per year because we realized if we shipped everything Ukraine needs we'd run out. Except, once the war ends and we refill our reserves, WTF are we going to do with all the excess production? The easy answer is to slowly ramp down while storing it.

​@@bandit5875that intergalactic cheese. 🤣

That’s the thing though. For most people a “Dairy Allergy” isn’t deadly. Meaning, it isn’t going to kill you. You’ll just get severe intestinal distress most of the time. If you’re lactose intolerant, they make pills for that in the form of Lactaid. Even if you forget to take the Lactaid, cheese is so good you don’t mind spending a little extra time on the toilet. “Man, this cheese is gonna completely wreck me but I don’t care. Now pass me a slice of that pizza!”

Eating it because it's supposedly so good and necessary for humans. Not because of the enjoyment. Btw, there are vegan cheeses, some are bad but some are very decent, same as vegan milks. Some are undrinkable but some are actually quite good in coffee, shakes etc, so you don't have to die over nothing

The original pot growing operation was only found out by authorities because the man that owned the cave was illegally stealing electricity from a neighbor and the neighbor had the local electric company investigate it lol

In wnc a guy I new had a grow house at his home not a cave but had 4 mothers and cloned 100 of each in stages the best pot ever one hit and you were tost got caught because his power bill was 2800 bucks a month

@@caseyrsummers "Run silent... run deep." Of all the things to try and save money on, they wanted to tap power from somewhere else. Electricity needs to run on a wire and that wire is going to lead straight to your operation. They could have put a towable diesel generator on site and then have a spare in case the first one fails or needs servicing (tow it to a mechanic to be serviced). I don't do any funny sh.. myself... but if you spend 2 minutes thinking it through, you're going to realize that stealing power or doing anything else that's going to draw heat is NOT the way to go. The cave system is about genius because there's nothing detectable from the air like visual or thermal signatures indicating a grow operation. Leaching power from your neighbor like you're stealing cable TV? That's just dumb.

This isn't entirely true. They did see a heat signature when flying over.

Does the cave still smell like blue cheese?

Yeah I need more of these rattling around in my brain

Its cheese. Who would ever willingly stop eating cheese. Even if you hate some types, theres so many varieties and so many ways to prepare it that almost everyone has a type or way they like.

... BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE

Cheese triggers the same pleasure centers in the brain as hard drugs.

I live in Spain, and am from Iraq. I didn’t really mind cheese in US. But I do know for a fact it was a reason I would break out in acne and blemishes. Same with bread. In my home, we eat ALOT of cheese, taste better here in Spain🤭

@@sukaenacornelius9285 I discovered, from a physician and my own trial & error, that everyone has a balance between protein and carbohydrates needed. If your ratio of carbs-to-protein is too high, it can cause acne outbreaks. I couldn't figure out what was going on for many years of eating minimal meat but mostly bread, grains, potatoes, etc. After I switched my diet back to more meat, the outbreaks started going away. It's different for different people, and I apparently require more protein than most. Perhaps it was the constant meat & veggies I had as a kid, growing up, and then the sudden change in adulthood. Wish I was informed of this magic ratio thing much earlier.

Not sure if you know, but lactose, or the milk sugar, is consumed by bacterial strains used in the making of semi-hard and hard cheeses. This makes those a bit more tolerable. Soft cheeses, or your very fresh table cheese, will most likely cause deep regret while contemplating Life, the Universe and Everything. This from a hobbyist curdnerd, a hobby which pays for itself in sales.

@@persnikitty3570 there's a difference between Lactose Intolerance and Dairy Allergy. In an allergy, you're actually allergic to the proteins found within the dairy product. Cheese still contains these proteins.

The latter part of the story might be apocryphal, but the version I heard included him believing it was a psyop/potemkin village type of thing (i.e. a fake setup to trick him into thinking the US was stronger than it really was), so off the cuff they took him to a second supermarket a little bit further away so he'd see that it wasn't a one-off propaganda piece, that they're all like that and each city has a bunch of them.

09/16/1989 - Boris Yeltsin and a handful of Soviet companions made an unscheduled 20-minute visit to a Randall's Supermarket ... On 09/21/1959, Nikita Khrushchev visits a supermarket outside San Francisco, causing a media frenzy. Khrushchev’s security forms a protective wall around the Premier as customers swarm him and photographers climb grocery displays to try to get a shot of Khrushchev inspecting American produce, deli meats and frozen dinners. --- HOWEVER --- The Supermarket USA exhibit at the 1957 Zagreb International Trade Fair was an eye opener for Khrushchev, Tito, and countless other comunist regime officials.

Had a buddy show up for one of those loads with three other drivers. Dude has bad claustrophobia and they stuck his truck in the middle of their group heading down into the Springfield site. Dude started having panic attacks during the drive in. They made it to the dock but he froze when told him where to put his trailer and one of the other drivers had to back his truck in for him so they could get everybody loaded up. So even though those tunnels are FREAKING HUGE, some people just can't live without the feeling of open air around them.
