I find that those slices of individually wrapped American cheese are always disappointing. I can't remember the last time I bought them, but occasionally, when I'm at a cookout or barbecue, I forget and get them on my burger. One bite in I regret the choice, as while they have amazing melting properties, there's really nothing redeeming about them. You get a mouthful of tasteless cheesy food product that coats your tongue like liquid plastic and ruins a perfectly good piece of grilled meat.
Because of my disdain for these slices of faux cheese, I was particularly delighted to discover a far more interesting and creative use for them. Cheese racing. This is a practice in which people (mostly like while they are under the influence of alcohol) toss the still-wrapped slices onto a grill, in order to see who's slice will puff up the fastest. Apparently the plastic doesn't melt or burst and the cheese gives off inflating gas. Who knew!
