Excerpt: We were skeptical when we first encountered the Easy Cheese Cheddar Cheese Snack in a 12-count can format. Used to just dousing crackers, we wondered if this would be as underwhelming as it sounds. Yet, as we unpacked the cans, we found ourselves sketching out unconventional uses. Lacking a popper, we punctured the tops with a screwdriver and microwaved ours—rivals anyone’s ideas of melted cheese perfection. Shaking firmly, we poured it into a fabricated "mac and cheese" bowl for an instant side dish. Oddly satisfying. Later, bypassing traditional pockets, we sprinkled the shot-sized portion on nachos and hot dogs like marinara or Doritos. Flavors were noticeably stronger due to concentrated fat, though consistency was looser. We’ve now accepted that versatility thrives in plain packaging: this snack became our go-to creamy filler for any hangover omelet, a topping rinse for jalapeño oil, or an unexpected DD for creek floats. Unexpected utility in a can staring back.
