This might be too mundane a subject for your tastes...
Anyway to save the environment, plastic vegetable bags are lots thinner and they don't really keep stuff fresh.
I thought maybe I'd buy a cheese box, but then there's all that air in the box. My preferred method of wrapping in a bread bag or an old veggie bag kind of works, except I get hard discolored cheese.
Wrapping in the original wrapper (They never invented "Resealable" for cheese)
barely works, and some zip-loc bags I have are too small.
I...
Just...
Thought...
Maybe this was a simple thing, but it isn't. 
The bags should be discarded after one (or two) uses, and the cheese-box should get washed,
But then the expensive stuff will taste like soap.
I'm so depressed.
"Buy yada, buy blah" bigger baggies, cellophane wrap, an actual cheese box ($15.00???!!!)

Eat like a pig until the cheese is gone.
I don't know.
I used to have fresh cheese...I blame the veggie bags.

hoity-toity plastic bags,

Severely condensing and paraphrasing:

 uhm, to protect their business and prevent upstarts 

(cads, bounders, arrivistes, and social climbers,) 

They made a biggie club that sues anyone not in their location trying to make their product. 

So, cheese and wine.

Stuff that is already expensive using these means, can actually get hurt by tariffs (they say) because people could just buy cheaper stuff.

My memories of pretentious cheeses only go as far as malls at Christmas when they cut up incredibly expensive cheese to give away as samples, 

hoping you'll think of the less fortunate and buy many cheese gifts. 

In a section of one of the links I linked to, it says that they will apparently have tailgate parties at Biggie football games to convert neophytes.
I've got this great article on Olive Oil, if you're interested.

next to the Himalayan salt and the cocotte and the "Grotto"

I started drifting off wondering what people think is worth $100 (+tax, shipping and VAT),
and I started to look at *whiskey* but that's wrong, I should be looking at free-range brown-organic cheese.

Let's just get that outta tha way, $100++ a pint

Cheese from Donkeys made in faraway countries is super expensive, 

you'd prolly want a "Grotto" for it.

Kilogram=upper-crust for two pounds and an extra ounce or two.

So be grateful (apparently) that our domestically produced cheese from American Cows is only $15 (Tillamook)

And the war, the weather, supply chains, Obama....

cheese box+ parchment+ a bag, $$$$$

soggy, dry, WTF are you selling? 
(I'll totally for-sure guess the guy feeding that AI quote sells something)

Basic ordinary  run-of-mill cheese in the US will soften like a wilted flower at room temp, even well wrapped, and It will taste and look different.
But to quote the Upper Crusty anyway:

"Cheese Grotto", OMG

Let's get frugal and get cloches instead(?)

After robbing the refrigerator of the little cold it has by opening the damn door, 
putting the cheese back quickly usually involves form-fitting bags.
And we're not talking french-cheese either, just waxy supermarket cheese.
I just looked for bags. 
Mention "Cheese" and the price goes up dramatically.
"zip lock" is overpriced.
A plain unadorned plastic bag might be nice. 
I'll keep looking.
