So I went to the grocery store and bought some stuff for a sandwich. The cheese was hiding though, and may have been out for an hour or two. How long can that stuff be out of the fridge before it goes bad? I'm scared to try.

P.S. - It was velveeta sliced cheese btw.

Velveeta isn't really cheese anyways, so you're fine.

People will throw milk products away when they have been out long enough not to be ice cold anymore, but I know from personal experience that milk does not go bad for at least 3 hours in a comfortable temperature.

Cheese is even hardier. Think about how long the cheese on your nachos at the movie theater might have been sitting out.

No, it wont kill you.

Velveeta isn't real food. It's like twinkies. That being said? In basest terms, cheese is nothing but spoiled milk anyways.

Why would you buy Velveeta in the first place?

Ugh.

Thats not cheese. It's a cheese flavored corn based product.

It amazes me how corn shows up in basically every food product(in the form of high fructose corn syrup), despite being horrible for you. Hell, they even put it in shitty beer.

So, I can leave my cheese out and it makes better nachos?

As long as it isn't growing fuzz, you're golden. And even then, you can just slice that part off.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piƱa coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

It makes passable bait for trout fishing. So much so that when I was a kid and we'd buy some, the first question the cashier would ask is, "Goin' fishing?".

What always blew my mind is that people will buy nachos from 24-hour convenience stores. You're lucky if they mop the floor. Have you ever seen the jug they mix the icees in? Worked at a convenience store one summer. Will never buy anything like that from a convenience store again. Ever. EVER.

I work in a grocery store. Regular Velveeta does not require refrigeration. I am unsure whether the slices need to be refrigerated or not. They come in and are kept with the regular cold cheese slices. Check the packaging. If you can't find anywhere on the package that says, "Keep Refrigerated" or "Refrigerate after opening" (granted the second shouldn't apply in this situation) you're golden.
