Lol I can't believe this is real. How terrible must food be in your city for this to be successful? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altoona-style_pizza

While originally topped with Velveeta, Altoona-style pizza is popularly topped with yellow processed cheese known as American cheese. The yellow squares of American cheese are a staple of this dish, used instead of the mozzarella or provolone common to other styles of pizza.

Everything about that paragraph makes me feel ill.

Following the destruction of the hotel in 2013 by fire, other local restaurants began serving Altoona-style pizza

It could have died there, but they had to do this

This made me discover Velveeta. I wish I hadn't.

Do not make the fudge recipe. Trust me.

I am sorry? There's a Velveeta fudge recipe!

Just the thought it is alone 🤮

It's from the 1980s iirc. I made it once which is one time more than it should have existed at all. It literally tastes like chocolatey barf.

I do find it comical that Americans call processed cheese “American”

It's telling for sure.

Mozzarella is nice though, just that it's mentioned makes me feel a bit better. As if the world isn't broken completely.

That passage explains the what , but nothing can explain the why.

Lol, I do eat this type of cheese with grilled cheese... But this application is disgusting.

Fun fact, you can trigger Wikipedia editors by changing the page in developer console and posting a screenshot of it, they'll scramble to revert a change that doesn't exist.

Or just edit as usual, then click on preview and screenshot that. Also works on mobile!

The most successful businesses in Altoona when I lived there in the early 2010s were drug rehabilitation centers. All the factories closed, and the town is slowly dying.
