Versatile
and portable because of its pasteurization process, Laughing Cow can remain
unrefrigerated for a limited length of time. The archetypal Laughing Cow cheese
comes wrapped in the individual serving sized foiled wedges, and they are
packaged in a round, flat box. Consumers have to pull a little red thread
around the box to open it, and the foil packaging also features a red tab for
opening. In various worldwide markets, it is served as squares, rectangles,
slices (in mainland Europe, marketed under Toastinette), bite sized cubes, pods
(aimed at younger children) and in spreadable tubs. The Laughing Cow is also
available in "cheese dippers", a snack consisting of cheese and
breadsticks, which are marketed as The Laughing Cow Cheez Dippers (or Pik &
Croq in mainland Europe), and these are in four varieties; original, light, hazelnut
and pizza.
It
has long been popular in the United Kingdom as a children's snack. The cheese
has also been a constant, but hardly popular product in the United States for a
number of years. However, demand for the triangular wedges has skyrocketed
recently, since the light version of the product was suggested as a viable menu
item to followers of the South Beach Diet. The question asked by the French,
"Pourquoi La Vache Qui Rit rit?" ("Why is The Laughing Cow
laughing?") has become synonymous with the product.
