Damn, that would have been amusing... it'd be like the shrimp part in Forrest Gump.

Well I have no idea what your supermarkets have on offer. but 30 surely ain't many.“Now we declare… that the law-making power or the first and real effective source of law is the people or the body of citizens or the prevailing part of the people according to its election or its will expressed in general convention by vote, commanding or deciding that something be done or omitted in regard to human civil acts under penalty or temporal punishment….” (Marsilius of Padua, „Defensor Pacis“, AD 1324)

Which one was that?
The movie or the shrimp part?
In Forrest Gump where Bubba starts listing the different ways you can make shrimp.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

whizz is slang for urine in the States as well... wiz is slang for a smart person... I don't know how that happened, but apparently there are some smart people somewhere covered in urine.

Is this just an American phenomenon, or is it possible to buy it elsewhere in the world?
Just how popular is it outside the United States?
Not only can you buy American cheese in Shanghai, but Chinese seem to like it.You can even buy it at the local French supermarket!
Chinese don't have a lot of cheese-like things in their cuisine, and they don't go for strong-tasting cheeses, so the nearly flavorless American cheese goes over well, especially for kids.
Ohhhh, what I wouldn't give for a nice wedge of JARLSBERG!

If you ask most Americans what the best bread is, they're probably going to leave rolls and buns out of the equation, because they're 'not bread'.
Then you have the assorted bakery breads, but people generally don't think of those either, because they're regarded as special occasion breads, not for everyday use.
That leaves the industrial breads -- pre sliced and plastic wrapped; many of them are very good -- many others aren't. Pepperidge farm loaves are the absolute shiznit -- and I think they have at least ten varieties at the local A&P all by themselves. Add to that Stroemann's, Freihoffer's, Arnold Bakeries, and a host of other producers, and you'll end up with a lot more than thirty varieties.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

"you'll end up with a lot more than fifty varieties."
At one store, or overall?“Now we declare… that the law-making power or the first and real effective source of law is the people or the body of citizens or the prevailing part of the people according to its election or its will expressed in general convention by vote, commanding or deciding that something be done or omitted in regard to human civil acts under penalty or temporal punishment….” (Marsilius of Padua, „Defensor Pacis“, AD 1324)

I love cheese, even American cheese. Damned shame I'm allergic to modl and can't have blue cheeses. I don't know about cheees like brie which have a white mold.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
