Cheese purists look away now.
Whoever invented the little red pull-tab on Dairylea triangles so that they can be opened seamlessly, was a genius.
Yes I know it’s processed cheese but occasionally a little of what you fancy does you good.

Nice to use instead of butter/spread in a ham and mustard sandwich

I looked away, but then looked back, not in anger but in horror
We can agree, that it’s ‘processed’, but whether or not it’s ‘cheese’ is debatable…
The generic French equivalent is fromage enfant

Sounds about right for me. 
In my defence, I only have one triangle as a side-item with my lunch - topping up my calcium levels…

We had a proper cheese snob over for dinner once, I put some on the cheeseboard for a laugh (and ate one 
).

… and promptly threw up?
You are “talking” to someone who lives in the land of the laughing cow! Don’t know about dairylea but vache qui rit only contains milk products/derivatives and calcium phosphate as an emulsifier. We have visited their place many times as our visitors large and small generally find it interesting, despite it being expensive for what is publicity for them!
Last time we were there the 5 yr old was super excited as she made a box and the wedges (the animator was trying to get her to be more creative, but no she wanted to make it how it should be. )

Pretty much the same for Dairylea - skimmed MILK (water, skimmed MILK powder), CHEESE, inulin, MILK fat, whey powder (from MILK), skimmed MILK powder, emulsifying salts (triphosphate, polyphosphates), MILK protein, calcium phosphate, acidity regulator (citric acid).
So it’s quite satisfactorily cow-derived on the whole.
But my point was not the cheese itself as the cleverness of the rip-cord thing that lets you unwrap the triangle without getting your hands all cheesy or having to pick bits of foil out of it.

If only someone would come up with those stupid little milk pod things that you could open without getting it either spraying at you or your hands covered in it, especially on an aircraft with reduced cabin pressure

I was diverting as couldn’t answer that. Vache qui rit has two red tabs so pulls open and it plops on your plate/cracker/bread.

Should any food “plop” onto your plate?

La vache qui rit ?
Like ripe brie, you mean?
Isn’t that things like petit suisse?
pas petits français?
I really don’t know - TBH I notice these boxes in supermarket chill cabinets, but thankfully being married to a childless cat lady (and dogs!!!) and not having any sprogs nor other very small relatives, have never felt the need to explore further…
Mind you, when I was six or seven years old, my opinion of Kraft tomato or cheese and onion flavoured slices was somewhat different.

Not half the genius the man who turned Christianity on it’s head with these beauties.

I’d be happy if they could just make it taste like milk.
