The bigger TIL for me is that Philadelphia Cream Cheese invented cream cheese
In 1872 William Lawrence, a dairyman from Chester, New York, attempted to make Neufchâtel, a tangy, crumblier cheese product that was popular in Europe at the time. Instead he accidentally added an excessive amount of cream and created a richer, more spreadable cheese, which would eventually be called "cream cheese".
I wonder how long until they put it on a bagel and what they were doing with it before then
Can confirm. Philly has a reputation.
For being fulla creamy boys
And robot murderers.
Doubt the Philadelphia I get is produced in NY. Sure is made on some town in São Paulo.
Mine's probably from some peak suburbia town with a name stolen from England in southern Ontario.
For Germany, it's in Bad Fallingbostel, halfway between Hamburg and Hannover.
Wow TIL
?
I mean I had no idea! TIL
That’s funny, most New Yorkers I know love Temptee way more than Philadelphia
Man I haven't had this in forever. Is it still good or have they changed the formula?
