Why should I say "Cheese"?

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.

....but if you are after that enigmatic Mona Lisa smile have them say romance,
or Venetian.

No
I was talking about wallet fattening, not citizens of another country.
My reference usually makes people smile. Your reference depends on
circumstances when it comes to smiling.

It reminds me of Seinfeld's George Contanza's fat wallet:

?? When I say cheese I just slightly open my mouth.
(Whisky-Dave's link notwithstanding. I certainly don't
turn up the corners of my mouth. All of the sounds
are produced without using the teeth. In fact, cheese
is an unusually flat word, requiring almost no movement
to enunciate it clearly.)

I'm not sure there's any word that requires much more.
F and V require upper teeth against lower lip, but who
wants to look bucktoothed?. If saying a word produced
a grin (or frown) then it would get very confusing trying
to interpret speech.

Maybe the tradition was just a silliness to make people
smile with amusement. Or a distraction so that they
would drop self-consciousness for a moment.
