It’s probaby the most repulsive snack food I have ever seen.
I’m studying organic chemistry in Vanier’s Shrum Lounge, and have been for the past few hours. I look terribly dorky with all these models assembled around me. But I’m definitely not as weird as the three people I’m sitting with who are snacking on string cheese.
I don’t know what the worst thing about it is, but I’ve compiled a list of it’s nastier qualities:
- It smells like the thick wool socks that Tech Ed teachers wear. Except this particular teacher uses their socks to store old cabbage during the night.
- It’s flaccid. Holding string cheese upright, it just doesn’t have the same structural integrity as normal cheese.
- It’s fibrous.
- It makes a distinct (and distracting) smacking noise when chewed. Like cheese-flavoured bubblegum.
- It must be coerced into the mouth by much finger stuffing and lip flopping.
- It comes in bulk packages. This means the people next to you have an endless supply of string cheese with which to fuel their studies.
Overall, just ew. I don’t care if you can make little hula dancers with it. String cheese is horrible.
