What makes cheese curds squeak beneath your teeth when you eat them?

Cheese curds are actually a living colony of single-celled, amoeba type organisms and NOT a dairy product at all, as you may have been led to believe.
Hence, the "squeak" you hear as you bite down is actually thousands of tiny voices yelling, "Oh shiiiiiiiiiii...."*

ewww.. you must have some shiny clean teeth to have them squeak I've never had that problem. Are you talking cottage cheese, it's the only cheese curds I can think of.

I think it may have to do with freshness but they generally squeak more when the temperature of them warms. I haven't had any for a long time. Last time I had some was when I went to Swiss Village in Nampa, Idaho.

Umm... you may not want to eat those. They don't squeak when I eat them. There may be something wrong with yours.
