If you’re like us, you’ve spent countless nights laying awake thinking about if there are other applications nacho cheese is suitable for aside from consumption. It was that singular introspection that innitiated us to create a test lab specifically focused on answering these questions. Our first test explored the question: Can nacho cheese be used to hold a picture frame?
Up next… Some believe that eating a bit of cheddar at the end of a meal helps protect teeth by stimulating the production of cleansing saliva and help harden teeth because of the calcium. We’ve taken that theory to the next level: Can nacho cheese be used as a toothpaste and mouthwash?

What is the #1 food item is that women crave while pregnant?
You guessed it, nachos! According to these 40 Interesting Facts, it’s true, women crave nachos more than anything else.
But are Nachos safe to eat when you’re pregnant? Before all you pregnant women decide to raid your local 7-11 and pack your minivan full of pounds of chips and gallons of nacho cheese, you may want to read this warning.
“Women may want to think twice about ordering those nachos the next time they’re out. A new study from Harvard University has found that eating a lot of corn tortillas during pregnancy could be linked to an increased risk of birth defects.”
I’m a big fan of reading police logs in newspapers. Why? It’s intriguing for some reason to know what the criminal world is up to. Plus, I always end up finding some random act of criminal behavior that completely baffles me.
The city of Redding, California recently had a run in with nacho cheese in their police logs.
From the Redding News:
The words, "I’m sitting in the grass," were written backward in nacho cheese on the window of a residence in the 1600 block of Pleasant Street.
Since when has nacho cheese been a scare tactic? After reading this police log, I’m left with a question. What’s more scary…a vandal writing on a window or a vandal writing on a window using NACHO CHEESE!
I received this BBQ grill plate from WIlliams Sonoma as a gift late last year, and I finally got around to using it. This grill plate works best on the BBQ and it can be used for anything you want to keep hot (ie fajitas, nachos, etc).
2026 UPDATE: Product no longer sold at Williams Sonoma. Here is a similar version available at Amazon. This version is actually better cause it’s not perfectly flat. (less likely to spill)
Long story short, the nachos turned out great. Plus this is a multi purpose BBQ tool, you can cook a of different foods.
[UPDATED APRIL 2026]
The grill plate is no longer available at Williams Sonoma. Here’s the best replacement that is similar in functionality.
It seems crazy to me, with the economy so far down in the tank, that modern day thieves would steal a tractor trailer but leave the invaluable nacho cheese stowed inside.
That's exactly what happened in San Antonio.

I know, how could they take electronics but leave the nacho cheese? Didn't they realize that they'd probably want all that cheese to enjoy while watching the brand new TV's they'd just stolen?
Dumb criminals.

The NCAA Basketball Championship game between Florida and Ohio State is all but a distant memory. But four friends feel that their love of nachos helped propel Florida to their 84 to 75 win over Ohio State. Dan recalls the preparation leading up to the game:
“I supplied the BIG screen television – in HD of course; Scott supplied the beer and the hot dogs; Matt, the chips and a few gallons of Nikko’s Nacho Cheese Sauce; and Gary, he was in charge of the Nacho Cheese Fountain!”
At halftime, the guys grilled hot dogs and drizzled hot nacho cheese sauce on them directly from the fountain.

After a quick phone interview with Sarah & No Name last Thursday, the three of us were invited into the studio the following morning to do an on-air “private nacho tasting” of our Official Recipe with the morning crew.
That morning we met up and carpooled into the Alice @ 97.3 Station located in beautiful San Francisco. Already excited, on the way up we got even more amped when we heard them discussing our upcoming appearance. At that point, all we could think about was how terrible it would be if they ended up hating the recipe. When we arrived, we were greeted by Hooman and led into the Green Room to set up shop and begin cooking up our heavenly orange-colored gravy.
Below we’ve included two audio clips. The first is a little pre-appearance banter; the second, our on-air interview. Wondering how it all turned out? Well…you’ll have to listen. But to give you a clue, they’ve invited us back for their Cuatro de Mayo broadcast! Oh yeah…one last thing. Christy, the gal that called in with your…ummm…”joke?” Could you email us and explain? We’re all still trying to figure that one out!

The word Emo is short for “emotional”. It represents a type of music, personality, and fashion. Typically Emos are very sad and angry. They like to have their hair in front of their face (to hide their tears?). Emos like to wear old and beat up clothes (to conform to non-conformity?). Usually they are very shy and introverted (ashamed of their stupid hair?). Emos also listen to music with themes of confusion, depression, and loneliness (ashamed of their stupid hair?).
So what do Emos do to help hold back the tears and avoid their dark eyeliner from running? No, they don’t use waterproof eyeliner. They EAT NACHOS!
There are two pieces of evidence that help us make this conclusion:
We’ve all been in a fight. “Hey, that’s my girl!” “I am NOT a wimp!” “I said I wanted my Appletini shaken!” But I don’t think a fight has ever broken out because of nachos. Until now.
Two 16-year-old girls were arrested for assault and battery on Friday, April 13 (how appropriate) at Revere High School after an argument over nachos turned ugly… The argument, that is… Not the girls. We don’t have any knowledge that the girls are anything below average looking.
Captain Dennis Collyer of the Revere Police Department said, “The girls were in the school’s cafeteria in a lunch line around 11:30 a.m., when they began to punch each other.” The Captain had no further details about the nacho fight.
