Shopper Buys Swiss Cheese, Unprepared for What They Find
Newsweek ^ | January 22, 2025 | Lydia Patrick

Posted on 01/31/2025 9:17:06 AM PST by Red Badger

A Redditor was stunned to discover that a packet of Swiss cheese contained holes only in the display section visible through the packaging.

The user, u/pianoshootist, shared their unusual find in the subreddit Mildly Infuriating, where the post quickly amassed over 40,000 upvotes.

"They only put holes in the display part of the Swiss cheese," the OP wrote in the title of their post.

Accompanying it was an image of a square slice of Swiss cheese with holes strategically placed along the edge. These holes were visible through the transparent portion of the packaging, creating the illusion of a "hole-y" product.

The Brand Behind the Cheese

The product in question is Swiss Deli Sliced Cheese from Good & Gather, Target's in-house brand known for affordable, high-quality grocery items.

The packaging description highlights its versatility. Newsweek reached out to Target for comment.

"Whip up savory mushroom-Swiss burgers or create a decadent fondue with ease with Swiss Deli Sliced Cheese from Good & Gather. This pack of sliced Swiss cheese comes with 10 slices that are perfect for adding to both hot and cold sandwiches, cutting up to serve on a cheese tray or melting down to top cooked veggies or to make a dip."

The packaging also notes that the cheese is a good source of calcium, but there's no explicit promise regarding the presence of holes. However, the product images depict slices with holes on the edges and a serving suggestion featuring cheese with holes on a cutting board.

Target includes a disclaimer on its website, emphasizing that product details might vary.

More people need to watch “How It’s Made”


I sure don’t want to watch the episode about how the sausage is made.

Target needs to send the complainer a big box of holes ASAP.

Because the holes are the tastiest part of the cheese.

And there was the same disappointment for OP Karen when the package of bacon was opened. :^)
