ELI5: What makes stringed cheese stringed and other cheese sticks just cheese?
gpt
From Huffington Post:
> "String cheese is just mozzarella cheese that has been heated to 140 degrees. At this temperature the cheese becomes very stretchy and the milk proteins move around and line up together in a row. It's this alignment that makes string cheese so stringy!"

Other cheese sticks are just cheese because they're a different type of cheese with a different flavour, and because there's a market for "regular cheese sticks" in comparison. This is simply because a lot of people don't like the consistency or flavour of the stretched mozzerella as much as they do other types like cheddar.
