A twangy song has been taking over TikTok and it’s all about the cheese tax. Puppy Songs, an account run by Matt Hobbs, released a now-trending song about how when people open up the cheese drawer in their fridge, their dog will often come to nibble on a little piece of cheese. Hence the name “cheese tax.”

Some of the lyrics go, “The rules are the rules, and the facts are the facts, and when the cheese drawer opens, you gotta pay the tax!”

Kraft Singles apparently heard the song, because now it’s offering an easier way for pet owners to pay the cheese tax. Kraft Singles announced on Instagram that it would be offering a “Cheese Tax Pack” soon.

This new package of Kraft Singles will include 15 slices for you to use and one slice for you to pay the cheese tax to your dog, according to Food & Wine. The rules are the rules, so that one slice would be great to use as you’re paying the cheese tax.

This will be a limited edition package of cheese. Details are forthcoming on how to get a package, so pay attention to the Kraft Singles Instagram page, which will likely be updated with more information soon.
