aerosol cheese

Pressurized can dairy

Aerosol cheese is processed cheese dispensed from a pressurized can, squirted directly onto crackers, celery, or into one's mouth.

The best-known brand is Cheez Whiz.

The product epitomizes convenience food and carries associations of lowbrow taste: We're having a classy party—no aerosol cheese.
