Yeah it has Cheddar cheese as an ingredient, but also has: Water, Whey, Soybean Oil, Non Fat Dry Milk, Egg Yolks, Sodium Phosphate, Milk Fat, Modified Corn Starch, Natural Flavor, Sugar, Lactic Acid, Salt, Sorbic Acid (to Protect Flavor), Vinegar, Annatto and Oleoresin Paprika (Colors), Gums (Acacia, Guar, Carrageenan, Locust, Xanthan).
But if you like it, that's all that matters. I choose to ignore the ingredient labels on some of the foods I like.

It may be a highly processed food too.

I think the majority of the population (including myself) do the same.

Locally like at TSC and Lowe's combo open/box end wrench sets up to one inch are getting harder to find. Singles are hanging one tool displays but they are not cheap. HF is a 2 hours round-trip so I have not been there recently.

Lowe's items like rakes hoes shovels ect are hard to find.

Is this a result of pandemic and more time for DIYers?

Haven't seen that issue in my area, I'm sure some of it has to do with supplies from china being slowed down for some items.
I imagine a higher demand from people being at home is a factor also.

I was surprised that the parts I ordered from the UK for my bandsaw show up in only 6days! That's better then some of the times from amazon lately.

My guess both factors are at play.

Yes and the factory and supply chain is messed up. Essential items getting priority.

So one of my most useful tools is a good stereoscope.

I have a decent one at work with a good ring light, and I have an American Optical at home with the smallish AO spot light.

The one at work has a little bit better depth of field and wider viewing, but I believe it is due to the better eye lenses. My AO is slightly more powerful.

I use a lot of smallish endmills at work making small details on parts. I use a lot of .015" endmills. have smaller but not used as much. The stereoscope is invaluable to see if your endmill's cutting corners are still good or not.
