When I was a kid my mom used to get American cheese sliced behind the deli counter all the time and they always gave us the slices in a stack and it never combined.
I can't stand American cheese, nasty fake stuff, but I got cheddar cheese slices behind the deli the other week for the first time in awhile. Instead of just slicing it and giving it to me in a bag like every other time in my life, they individually wrapped every slice in a thin plastic. I got home and was like what in the plastic hell is this? So wasteful and it was a real PITA unwrapping it all.
My local grocery is at least nice enough to put paper between each slice to help pull them apart. Individually wrapped in plastic from the deli seems so strange.
I heard about this a few days ago. It's depressing.

Ah, Japan, the place that wraps individual carrots and other food items in plastic.
don't have to go to Japan to see irreponsible plastic use, not sure where you're from but haven't you ever seen this
In defense of this, the nature of American cheese would cause all the slices to combine into a single mass.
Oh! So there's actually a solution to this, pretty low tech. Been around for a while.
It's called a fucking knife.
