It's 90% cheese, like 10% sand/sawdust.

when they did the sawdust test, kraft was the only one that came out all cheese. seems kind of counterintuitive because they are the stereotypical cheap cheese. which makes me wonder, but y'know, they have the money to build the facilities to do the freeze dry and all that without having to add the sawdust, and the smaller cheeseries don't necessarily, so it makes sense.

this stuff is basically the result of military tests on shelf stability in the 1950s. it's why the flavor ain't great. but it'll last
