Why should I say "Cheese"?

Ever since I was born in the 1950's I have been told to say "cheese"
whenever someone wants to take my picture.

WHY?

No one has ever given me any cheese, and I do like cheese.

What if I say Macaroni, and leave out the cheese?

Or maybe I could say Pizza, since all pizza contains cheese.

What if I say Cheddar, Swiss, or Provolone?

Or maybe say "Cheeseburger with fries and a coke"

Then again, I could say "cheese curds", or just say "whey".

Then there's always "Cottage cheese" or "Cream cheese" to consider.

I have tried all of these with mixed results. These days, when someone
says "Say Cheese", I reply "Why", then I proceed to say "I'll say that
word as soon as you give me some".....
(Sadly, no one has ever given me any cheese to date)....

Anyhow, with all the cheese that's been said over the years, I'd think
that by now every camera would have been used as a pizza topping, if it
was not previously stolen by mice.

Hehehe! How come no camera maker has ever come up with a forward
facing screen with "say CHEESE!" in it... :)))

....because saying “Limburger�, “cheddar�, “quantum�,
“indubitably�, or especially “Trump" doesn’t produce the ****-eating,
out of context, toothy grin that saying “cheese� does.

We're not sure when or where a photographer first asked his or her subjects
to state the name of the delicious dairy product, but we do know that when
you say "cheese," the corners of your mouth turn up, your cheeks lift and
your teeth show. It looks like a smile, and since smiling is what we do in
pictures, the instruction seems pretty practical.

I wonder how this works in other languages .
I'll ask some foreigners I know.

All you have to do is try a few tests:

French fromage, nope, even if you get specific with Camembert.

German käse, orDutch kaas close, but no toothy grin.

Italian formaggio, tasty, but that one doesn’t work either.

Neither the Portuguese queijo, nor the Spanish queso fit.

....and who knows how this would work, 干酪

If you've seen those old time B&W pictures from the 1800s. you'll notice
that no one smiled and never showed their teeth. I dont know if this is
true, but I was told by someone who seems to know history, that the
reason they did not smile was because many of them lacked teeth, or had
bad looking teeth. Considering the lack of dentistry back then, this
could have likely been true for particularly older people.

The word used is not important; you are looking for a smile expression.
The word "cheese" forms the face and mouth into an appearance of a smile.

There are other words that work just as well. Try words with the long
"ee" followed by a "Z": freeze, ease, wheeze, etc.
