That cheese wrapper sure did stick!

Last night, I was fixing myself a sandwich and put a piece of American Cheese on it. When I took the cheese out of the fridge, I start taking off the clear wrapper of the thin cheese. The wrapper was really sticking more than normal. I could have sworn I got all of it off the cheese.
I bit down on to the sandwich and thought the cheese kind of tasted odd. After, I swallowed it, then I realized I had not only swallowed the bite of sandwich with the cheese, I also swallowed a bit of plastic wrap that surrounded the cheese!
All these thoughts ran through my head, like "can you believe that", "did I poison myself",, did I hurt my body by consuming a small portion of a cheese wrapper"?
I feel fine , but I feel dumb in a way for not being more alert about the sticky wrapper.

I hope this makes you feel better :
I once made myself a sandwich using the same type of sliced cheese. I put the mustard on, the cheese and topped it with ham and some tomato. I went to bite down and only THEN did I realize I had forgotten to take the wrapper off the cheese.
Needless to say I just threw the whole lot out. By that time I was grossed out and made myself a bowl of soup instead.
I am sure you will be fine as far as consuming a bit of the wrapper goes.

I've never ate the wrapping but I have had trouble getting it off a few slices before.

I wonder if it was the brand I bought. I bought a different brand than what I had bought and maybe they make the wrapper more hard to open and peel back.

@LeaPea2417 The cheese wrapped in plastic has 'stuff' in it that natural cheese doesn't I believe.

I don't think a little bit of the wrap is going to really cause you any harm.

Noone gets poisoned by eating a bit of plastic. You should see what babies eat!

And this is why I just use cream cheese or shredded cheese. Unlike you I was unfortunate or unlucky or even stupid to make my own sandwich without even unwrapping the plastic wrapper! I blame it on lack of sleep and coffee but really it's just me and my carelessness. Fortunately I was not able to i te through the plastic sheet but I felt so embarrassed ??!

I don't think that I have ever done that, but I do remember wrappers that did not want to give up the cheese. Next time, cut the sandwich in half or maybe quarters just to be sure lol!!
