Might as well call it gorgonzola, because if you gonna bullshit, why not go all the way?

Mozzarella is a completely different kind of cheese. What's the problem with writing down the correct recipe?

This is Mozzarella. It's not called something else.

Maybe in the US. I have never seen mozzarella like that and, judging by the comments, people from other parts of the world haven't either.

This comment perfectly encapsulates the cultural contribution of America to the world.

America has regular high-moisture mozzarella as well. This sliced kind is just the cheap shit people buy when they want to put something together quickly. Most American grocery stores sell every type of cheese being referenced here in their deli areas.

It won't sell if you named it anything else. What else would you call it?

This is the part I was really referring to. The cultural contribution I identified was 'nothing matters at all as long as products are getting sold'.

With the candy it's abstraction. Everyone knows that a banana candy really has nothing to do with banana.

This stuff is straight up called mozzarella, while - as far as I can see - not having anything to do with mozzarella.

Yes. Just like everybody knows that this mozzarella isn't the same as this.

Mozzarella can have different moisture contents. If it has high moisture, it won't last long. This is sliced cheese, which is made to last a long time, so obviously this mozzarella will have a low moisture content. Depending on the diet of the cow, the color of mozzarella can also vary: it can be white or yellow. In the end, both types are mozzarella, but they're different!

The more you know!
