On a visit, before we moved to Philly, we ate at Moriartis on Walnut and
10th (?) and I ordered a cheesesteak. It came with cheez whiz on it. I
looked at my wife and said "WHAT'S THIS ORANGE SHIT?" She laughed and
laughed.

"Welcome to the wonderful world of Cheez Whiz, Andy"

I couldn't believe my eyes!!! The potato chips weren't bad.
