    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

    Man I haven’t had this in forever. Is it still good or have they changed the formula?
