What cheesy holiday am I celebrating on tattoo Tuesday?

Smile and say, “Velveeta!”

On this day in 1928, Velveeta Cheese was first introduced.  This is the same year Mickey Mouse was introduced to the world.  Coincidence . . .?

Velveeta is that yellow brick of cheese food that melts smoothly over everything.  Food.com describes it as,

“… a blend of colby and cheddar cheeses with emulsifiers and salt. The ingredients are heated until liquified, packaged in aluminum foil, then cooled.”

Is there a Velveeta tattoo?  I could not find one, but I did find these cheese tattoos, including a GALLERY of tattoos from a wildly successful local restaurant chain, MELT, that will give anyone a 25% discount on meals (forever) if they get a tattoo of one of Melt’s approved logos.

This restaurant features huge sandwiches heavy on the grilled cheese with names such as:

Parmageddon / potato & onion pierogi, fresh napa vodka kraut, sautéed onions, sharp cheddar

The Dude Abides / homemade meatballs, fried mozzarella wedges, basil marinara, roasted garlic, provolone & romano

Lake Erie Monster / crispy battered jumbo cod, sweet slaw, jalapeno tartar sauce, american
