Reader and Cheez Whiz… a Match made in Heaven!

By Craig Reader Apr 1, 2025 | 6:46 PM

Reader here!  I’m someone ho likes to snack.  A lot.  And quite often, when I need to crush some food, my go-to is toast.

And I want to know… is there one particular thing you eat on toast more than anything else?  For me, either I eat plain ol’ buttered toast (boring, I know), or I cover it in something I love way too much… Cheez Whiz!

I LOVE toast and Cheez Whiz!  In fact to me, the best way to enjoy it is to make my toast a bit on the darker side, butter it up, and then smother it in cheesy goodness.

How much do I love this?  Well, one New Year’s Eve when I was growing up, (with metabolism that seemingly burned up anything I ate in an instant), I comandeered the toaster and the jar of Cheez Whiz, and proceeded to crush an entire loaf of bread.

It’s something I can eat as a snack, or as a meal on it’s own, when I’m not particularly motivated to cook something.  It’s perfect anytime!

Where did Cheez Whiz come from?  I did a little digging with our AI assistant, and here’s what it turned up…

“Did you know that Cheez Whiz made its debut in the 1950s?  Born out of a quest for convenience, this iconic cheese spread was the brainchild of Kraft Foods.  It quickly became a staple in American households, revolutionizing the way we enjoy our favorite cheesy snacks.  Perfect for nachos, burgers, or just straight out of the jar, Cheez Whiz brought a new level of cheesy goodness to our lives!”

However, I did a little more searching, and it seems Cheez Whiz got its start in Britain in 1952, a year before it hit the U.S..

Not only that, but the first person to hold the patent for processed cheese?  A Canadian… James L.. Kraft!  He got the patnt waaaaay back in 1916!

So I feel okay about my favourite treat, and don’t have to feel unpatriotic about eating it in theses topsy-turvy times!

Cheez Whiz has been ours all along!

Enjoy it all you like… it adds personality!
