It was created to make use of broken cheese wheels.
In the early 1900s, Monroe Cheese Company wanted to salvage its Swiss cheese wheels that were either broken or misshapen. So it enlisted the help of Emil Frey, a Swiss immigrant who tinkered with the scraps until discovering he could melt them together and add byproduct like whey until they melded back together in a velvety consistency.
It was one of the first foods to get the American Medical Association's approval.
Quite a few of my 2X2 holders are stored in old core sample cartons from the oil company I worked for. The core samples were discarded, then the cartons were just thrown in the recycle bin where I found a re-purpose for them.
That said, I like that idea with the Velveeta box - think I'm going to try that for my slabbed coins.

That reminds me of a friend who said he would never buy gold because you cannot eat it. I never quite understood until now.
If you get yellow toning you’ll know why...
Cool way to hide in plain sight.

I wonder how long until Heritage starts using these for all their slab viewing sessions?...

With my luck I'd hide coins in that box and I'd get broken into by a cheese loving burglar.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

I made crock pot mac and cheese with that last week for the kid, should've saved the box
PS Any recent movie or TV appearances?

UggggggH. "Shelf Stable" - scary descriptive....
Well, just Love coins, period.
I see why you put it in the cheese box now.
Can we get a close up of the '83 1c. It might deter me from sending mine in.
Good alternate storage container....Although I have quite a few 'official' slab boxes, if I run short, it would serve in a pinch. Cheers, RickO
This thread is very "cheezy". Lol

Best if used before 2040.
