Of course the need to include “Limited quantities”… like… just why… who would want this?

Tell us it ain’t real cheese without saying it

u/Unique_Importance910 2d ago

I tend to try and give these things the benefit of a doubt (or however you say) but this genuinely sp uncalled for.

I mean you know its not real parm when you have a cheddar flavored version. Cheese flavored cheese

u/iznotbutterz 1d ago

Wood pulp isn't cheese.

u/Informal_Edge5270 2d ago

I always keep this stuff around for pizza and spaghetti. So I guess I would be their target audience. But I have no desire to walk around carrying it everywhere with me on a key chain 🤣.

u/chet_brosley 1d ago

I keep actual parm and a bottle of shake can parm at all times, one for actual flavor one for sopping up extra sauce.

This is gross in every way imaginable. Cheddar flavoured parmesan!? I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

u/TheLuckyCanuck 2d ago

Like, seriously, what's the point? Just use cheddar! Kraft even makes a powdered cheddar shaker, why on Earth would anyone want cheddar flavoured parmesan?

u/TheLuckyCanuck 2d ago

And who the hell would love their cheddar flavoured parmesan (which, by the way, is not even real parmesan cheese) (or cheddar) so very much that they need to carry it with them wherever they go?

"Which bag was yours again?"

"Oh, it's the one with the whole-ass jar of cheese(flavoured product) on it!"

If you zoom in that one does say it’s grated cheddar cheese. The others say grated Parmesan cheese with <whatever>

u/cornovum77 2d ago

My children will eat just this stuff off of a plate with a wet finger. This kind of access they don’t need.

Mmmm…more flavors of cellulose sawdust.

Anti-caking agents give every dish that extra zing!

u/Lochylass 2d ago

This is so pathetic, ugh.

u/dmcent54 2d ago

I know this is anticonsumption, and I agree this is gross as hell, but I did used to have a mini bottle of hot sauce on my keychain, but it was glass, and hot sauce is super acidic, so it didn't go bad. I generally used it on my lunch for the day, rinsed it and refilled it each morning.

This is just plastic garbage with more garbage "food product" inside.

u/emo_queer 1d ago

Yah I would actually use a mini hot sauce or soy sauce but this is so unnecessary 😭

u/NotaWizardOzz 2d ago

I can see my wife getting the original, getting hungry for a snack at work, making a ‘line’ of it on her desk and licking it off like an insane Parmesan cheese addict…

I hate this in every way

u/inky_cap_mushroom 2d ago

I would never be able to take someone seriously who carries around grated parm on a keychain.

u/Beneficial_Sense9859 2d ago

So gross, in many ways.

u/AnastasiaNo70 2d ago

I’m still stuck on “bag charm”. This is a thing?

u/crybabykuromi 2d ago

…am i wrong or doesn’t this need to be refrigerated after opening???

2

u/caynharris 1d ago

That was my first thought when I saw this. The full-size bottle definitely says refrigerate. Though my family always kept it in the cabinet; it turned brown and tasted a bit stale, but somehow never made any of us sick.

u/the_orange_alligator 2d ago

Mmmm, spoiled cheese that’s been in your warm bag

u/Terrariachick 1d ago

Personally i prefer a wood block and some sandpaper if i need any sawdust shavings

u/Spear_Ritual 2d ago

The fuck is a bag charm?

u/MosesCoulee 1d ago

Feels like their trying to land a Stanley phase

u/Itchy_Tumbleweed_417 2d ago

I have a huge hatred for bag charms. I cannot in a million years think of why I would want something hanging from my bag that’s going to collect dirt and get caught on things and make noise when I walk.

I always used to think I hated parmesan 'cause of this stuff. Turns out I just don't like fiber shavings.

u/Bumbling-Bluebird-90 1d ago

Just what I need- dubious artificial cheese powder spilled all on the inside of my bag and car /s

u/Embarrassed-Sun5764 1d ago

Post that on the Coach sub. They will go nuts

Guess I’m the only one who thought they made charms for the giant parm containers that stay in the fridge…

u/DragonKit 2d ago

I just bought a bunch of bottles so I can keep salt on me for health reasons. I guess this gives me ideas for the other 11?

Imagine having a medical emergency and the officers/EMTS try to find your ID and find this on you...I'd let them die
