Velveeta cheese
A kind of processed cheese · also called Velveeta
About
Velveeta is a solid processed cheese product that is slightly denser than water and fills measuring cups compactly.
Velveeta has a bulk density of about 65.5 pounds per cubic foot (1.05 grams per milliliter), meaning it sinks in plain water. A standard 32-ounce (907-gram) block takes up roughly 3.7 US cups (864 milliliters) of space. Because it is sold as a continuous solid block without trapped air, it packs much more mass into the same space than loose shredded cheddar or whipped spreads.
From Wikipedia
