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”
😁.......................
More holes = less cheese.
This is just the kind of totally lame story that Newsweek would publish.
Looked for The Bee, but no.....
You found no holes in the story................
I know people are stupid but I’m not seeing the problem they’re trying to highlight here? Is the guy mad because the swiss cheese doesn’t have enough holes or is he made because there are no holes?
LOL!
Why do these moronic writers insist on using the plural pronoun for a singular antecedent?
😄
Very few small holes, indicating that the cheese wasn’t ‘aged’ for very long and therefore didn’t have the full ‘Swiss flavor’...............
Journalizm skools............
And the fact that an international news magazine feels that covering a made up story from the drama queens of Fakeit is just a sign that we have too much news coverage or they employee very lazy people.
Ah ha...thank you!
Yep
..and what do I see?
>>>“They are always ‘holier’ than thou...”<<<
Uh oh, now you’ve done it. You’ve summoned Ezekiel!
Cheez Whiz, I'm not sure how I should take that. If it's a biting comment, that's not gouda.
I can't say that I have a shred of evidence, however.
Although... after you pinged me to the "shell" thread -- okay I know my reply was a bunch abalone -- you didn't keep playing. Maybe it was just a shell game. 🥹
I'm a good sport, and I'm practically a ripe old age, so I won't let it grate on me.
All right, enough Cheddar. On account of this thread taking a spiritual turn, I am reminded of what I keep saying about "Punish" being the Real identity of the holy tongue because it's full of holes,
with more holes than Swiss cheese, which is a pretty low bar when it's Good & Gather, Target's in-house brand.
I don't know why this revelation should come as a shock, because the billboard memes have been warning folks for quite a while now:
"Don't make me come down there." ~ God
Watch what happens when He wheely gets Feta up! 😉
“...you didn’t keep playing. Maybe it was just a shell game.”
I’m just too exhausted following your hilarity to engage. I need a nap!
That’s pretty cheesy..............
that’s cheesy...
You can’t eat the holes anyway so I don’t see a problem.
