Quite possibly the most unfortunate job title in the world.

No, really. I just ran across this job description over at OccupationalInfo.org.
“Tends equipment that coats popcorn or similar food product with melted cheese: Dumps salt into hopper of salt-sprinkling device. Measures out specified quantity of cheese and coconut oil into thermostatically controlled melting and mixing kettle. Starts conveyor to admit popcorn to rotating drum. Starts drum rotating and pump that forces melted cheese through spray nozzle onto popcorn. Places container at discharge end of drum to receive coated popcorn. Transfers filled containers to packing room, using handtruck.”
And the job title?
Can you imagine sitting at a dinner party and announcing yourself as a Cheese Sprayer? It’s what some unfortunate soul has to do every Saturday night.
God help him. Or her.

Yeah, but if it weren’t for cheese sprayers, where would we get all that yummy cheese-coated food?
