What could be more “gentle” and “easy” than a can of Nabisco’s Easy Cheese? Debuting in 1966, this miraculous invention delivers cheese with a squeeze—no utensils, no refrigeration, no problem. Tilt the can, press the nozzle, and let the dairy ribbon flow. ✨

Available in American, Cheddar, Sharp Cheddar, Bacon & Cheddar, and Nacho, Easy Cheese is more than a snack. It’s edible performance art. A string of processed joy slinking across a cracker or doodled into a smiley face before the first bite.

“Anyone can make the simple complicated,” said jazz great Charles Mingus. “Creativity is making the complicated simple.” That’s Easy Cheese in a nutshell: creative simplicity in a can.

Over six million cans are sold each year. Made from the milk of Wisconsin cows, this cheesy marvel is a love letter to play. A reminder that not all perfection needs polish—and sometimes the best inventions are the silliest.

As Shakespeare advised, “Do it with gentle means and easy tasks.” Today’s task? Press, swirl, nibble, and smile.
