[[Greg Heffley]] was known to have almost The Cheese Touch, because he lied to keep everybody from knowing that [[Rowley]] had The Cheese Touch. (It could be argued that almost touching the cheese was [[Greg]]'s fault because he was the one who angered the teens, however, ultimately they are responsible for their own actions and Greg didn't mean to make them chase him and Rowley, so it wasn't really his fault, it was more like an accident.)

The Cheese Touch is a game, mainly played at Westmore Middle School, throughout the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. If somebody has the Cheese Touch, they will be a social outcast until they pass it onto someone else by touching them, which is pretty difficult, as the main rule of the game causes no one to go near the person. The Cheese Touch was started by touching a moldy slice of cheese on the basketball field that someone had left there, which never got picked up. The movie diary claims that the Cheese is the main antagonist of the first book and film, despite it not being a character.

The Cheese Touch was first mentioned at the start of the first book, where it is revealed that The Cheese Touch originated from a piece of moldy cheese lying on the basketball court. The first person to have the cheese touch was Darren Walsh, who touched it with his finger. Greg says that Cheese Touch works like the cooties: you have it until you pass it on to someone else. Greg says that the only way to protect yourself from the Cheese Touch is by crossing your fingers, and Greg ended up taping his fingers together (he got a D in handwriting as a result, but felt that it was worth it). Greg says that a kid named Abe Hall got the Cheese Touch in the last April before middle school, and nobody would go near him for the rest of the school year. Greg says that Abe took the Cheese Touch with him when he and his family moved out to California, and Greg expresses hope that no one starts up the Cheese Touch again.

Towards the end of the first book, Greg and Rowley are confronted by a group of teenagers they ran into on Halloween night, who end up forcing Rowley to eat the Cheese--they were going to make Greg and Rowley split it, but Greg was able to get out of it by claiming he was allergic to dairy. After Rowley was forced to eat the Cheese, kids at school the next day noticed that it was gone and started coming up with theories as to what happened to it. Greg ultimately kept his mouth shut about what happened to him and Rowley, and eventually claimed to the other students that he ended up throwing it away, which freaked them out because by saying that, Greg technically has the Cheese Touch.

In the second book, Greg admits that he forgot he had the Cheese Touch until the first day of school, but was able to pass it onto a new kid in his homeroom named Jeremy Pindle. However, this doesn't start up the Cheese Touch again, as it's not mentioned again until the eleventh book.

In Double Down, Greg reveals that there's still a stain on the ground where the Cheese used to be, and that some students have tried starting up the Cheese Touch again, though teachers have done their best to stop it from happening. One student snuck a slice of roast beef on where the cheese used to be and tried starting something called the "Roast Beef Touch," but it didn't have the same effect as the "Cheese Touch," and ultimately never came to be.

    • This is further evidenced by Double Down, as everyone seemed to forget if people even had the cheese touch anymore.
  • In the 2012 novel, Wonder, Auggie references the Cheese Touch, when he notices "The Plague", a cooties-like game involving him.
