I’ve eaten it once. More as a sort of, “let’s see what the fuss is about” than any real desire to eat cheese from a can. It was decidedly meh. Mostly I just remember it being really salty and not tasting anything like cheese, but it probably wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever eaten, either.
Anyway, it’s always at the grocery store (in CO), so presumably someone is buying it.
I’ve seen it in the northeast US in the 1980’s. I think my folks let me get it a few times as a kid, even though they generally didn’t allow that kind of junk food.
More recently I’ve seen versions made for dogs so you can spray cheese into a Kong or something. I might get that for my dog. Dogs don’t live for 80 years so the random cancer from ultra processed food might not catch up with them (of course, it would only be an occasional treat)
If you value the sense of smell for your dog, read up about it. I don’t know spraycan cheese and certainly not the one for dogs. But ppl mentioned that the human kind is rather salty.
Natural cheese itself is pretty salty. Enough to cause a dog to loose quite a bit of its smell. They love cheese and will eat all they can get. But if it is a hunting, S&R, truffle, drug, etc. dog - they will likely loose their job.
Thanks for the heads up. I think the one that’s made for dogs probably (hopefully). has leas sodium than the human one. I’ll definitely check the label before purchasing though. My pups aren’t professionals but they like sniffing stuff so I don’t want to mess with that.
I have never actually seen this once in my life or known anyone to ever eat it. Is this a regional thing?
It’s pretty common everywhere in the US I’ve been, and I’ve been to every state except Hawaii and Alaska.
It’s amazing on Ritz. Especially the bacon one.
Southeast born and raised here, never seen it in person lol. And trust me, I know everything in the cheese aisle
You won’t find it in the cheese aisle because it’s definitely not cheese.
Try the chip/cracker aisle.

Southern born here. I’ve had that a lot.
This isn’t in the cheese aisle. It’s stored on a shelf (next to crackers) with the dry goods.
No lol
The only things the South cooks well are biscuits, pork scraps, and “Nashville hot” chicken.
And grits

Definitely veterinarians and pet owners. This stuff is dog crack.
They make peanut butter in the same spray container specifically for dogs!
This is excellent news… thanks for letting me know!
Oh I totally knew that and completely forgot. We used to put it in one of my old dog’s kongs.
I remember seeing it more in the 90s, but it’s definitely still sold in any part of the country. I don’t know who’s buying it though.
I hate to tell you guys, but it’s been around since the 60s.

It’s not something that’s too widespread. Many grocery stores in the US carry it, mostly in the cracker aisle. It’s mostly a novelty though.
We’d only ever eat it on road trips. Doesn’t require refrigeration, and it’s neater than sliced cheese.
