Default Re: No whiz left in the cheese

I would say that this is a made-for-the-occasion expression. Philly is right, the writer has taken a well known brand name and changed it into a metaphor for "no longer enjoyable."

I would not recommend using this expression, especially if you are not a native speaker. The reference is too obscure and the expression does not have current usage.
