Block cheeses? Ones that are 28 oz or 32 oz blocks or more? I don't buy
blocks of real cheese anywhere near that size or shape!

8 oz here, 10 oz there, 16 oz. if I really like a cheese. But none of them
are shaped into uniform elongated rectangular blocks. This container was
designed for Velveeta, no doubt about it.
