Ahahahaha ... I still remember Popeye claiming that the grocery store
sold him rat turds instead of peppercorns

 I think he said that peppercorns were swept up off the floor with rat turds and packaged.
 

Yup, and The Old Sailor also claimed that shredded cheese consisted of
the remnants of cheese that were swept up from the floor...

 He wasn't far off, they add cellulose and wax to many shredded cheeses to keep them from sticking.  I won't buy that junk, only actual blocks of cheese.
 

Sargento brand shredded cheese isn't bad.  But yes, it contains powdered cellulose:
"Cheddar Cheese [Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes, Annatto (Vegetable Color)], Potato Starch and Powdered Cellulose (TO PREVENT CAKING), NATAMYCIN (A NATURAL MOLD INHIBITOR)."

I wonder how the old guy's faring these days.  He probably doesn't even remember RFC.

Sheldon is doing well, according to his wife.  But no, he really doesn't remember RFC.
