"We have emergency meeting with Swiss Trade Delegation. They send us twenty car-loads of cheese. Totally unacceptable... full of holes."

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.

The Swiss Cheese was transitioning to Cheddar.
Target......I think I found the problem 😏
Not much of a cheese shop, is it?
Give the guy a drill bit so he can make his own holes!..........
As if someone had the ability to package the cheese like this. It’s all done by a machine. Sometimes Swiss only has a few holes.
if there’s no holes, you’re getting more cheese!
What kind of stupid article is this?! None of the links go to the actual reddit page but all redirect to another Newsweek article and the picture of the offending cheese isn’t shown.
HOLEY CHEESE BATMAN!
I don't diss a brie.
So he’s complaining he got too much cheese and not enough air?
Only an insane liberal...
“if there’s no holes, you’re getting more cheese!”
