Unless the main content was, but whatever. Anyway, some actual information about the first documented use would be nice for the encyclopedia along with the unreferenced, POV bits. :) - LlywelynII ( talk) 07:21, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Here's the citation for the "incites glee" line: YOU try saying a sustained "cheese" for no apparent reason without smiling thinking about your favorite cheese. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.187.134.233 ( talk) 02:08, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Never heard of the words listed here when taking photos. Germans tend to use the English word "cheese".-- 77.1.185.145 ( talk) 17:37, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
What language or country is this supposed to be - and how could "machelschmel" possibly mean "someone cut the cheese" in any language? If you click on the link to Waldrop, all you get is personal names. Please either explain, or else remove. 89.212.50.177 ( talk) 16:03, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
In response to the top-most comment, I found this...
"In the 1930s, people started saying “cheese and crackers,” which was eventually shortened to “cheese.” Well, it turns out that “cheese” is the perfect word for getting people to smile. Saying “cheese” naturally stretches your mouth into a grin, and the “ch” sound is a great way to get your teeth to show." Not sure how reliable it is.
Also, saying "Cheese" doesn't actually MAKE you smile. We exaggerate the "CHEEEEEEEEEESE" now while smiling.
