I was profoundly skeptical when someone in my household brought home some “Cheese Storage Bags” that appeared to be made of wax paper. They cost around a dollar apiece, and since there’s really no way to clean them, they’re pretty much disposable. Insane scam, I thought. Someone just loves shopping, I thought.

But no, they absolutely worked, hard cheeses keep in the deli drawer way better in those bags. In the past I had tried wrapping cheese in wax paper or parchment paper, with little success. The stupid cheese bags were so much better. I can’t explain. Still mad about it. Also we need more cheese bags.
