Beck?get crazy with the cheese whiz
French fries, cheese, and a heart attack. Wonder why that is?
Edwin Traisman, a food scientist who created the process for freezing McDonald's french fries and helped develop Cheez Whiz, has died at age 91
BTW, just to make it clear, as these two are often confused, Cheese Whiz comes in a jar. The processed cheez that you squirt out of an aerosol can is called Easy Cheese. Thank you.
Yes, it's worth making that clear; my only exposure to either product is the Blues Brothers movie, where a can of Easy Cheese is referred to as Cheese Whiz. I must make a note to try them out next time I manage to visit the US.
And yes, you must try it. Easy Cheese is the BEST! Especially on Triscuits.
Yes, I am aware that the Blues Brothers may be responsible for the perpetuation of this confusion.

My favorite pasteurized processed cheese food memory:
Once, several years ago I was sunbathing out by my boyfriend(at the time)'s pool. I was lying on my stomach when he approached me, started dancing and singing "Big Pimpin" and dripping something on my back. I was facing the other direction and could only see his shadow, but I assumed it was suntan lotion or sunblock or something. It was only after the second round of the chorus, specifically the line "spendin' cheez" that I looked up at him and found that it was, in fact, Easy Cheese that he was dripping onto my exposed skin.
Did I mention that I was 21 and he was 25 at the time? Oh man, I sure do know how to pick 'em.![]()
What!? That's it? That's the end of the story... "I sure do know how to pick 'em?" Dang! I was on the edge of my seat hoping for a soft-porn or at least trashy-romance-novel lust-fest and... nothing. C'mon!!!! Dish (or at least make up something dishy!)
Traisman worked for Kraft Foods on the teams that created Cheez Whiz and individually packaged cheese slices in the 1950s. He became a division director of food research with responsibility for cheese and related projects.
