cheese whiz

Jarred yellow spread

Cheese Whiz is a brand name for a processed cheese spread sold in jars, known for its smooth, pourable texture and bright orange color.

It's a staple topping for Philly cheesesteaks and nachos.

The name has become somewhat generic for any similar processed cheese product: Just squirt some cheese whiz on it.
