I remember a weird fact about the saying cheese thing.  It was prunes initially because for photos back then it was customary to look neutral when posing for a more neutral look.  Plus you did have to sit still for a lot longer back then.  Then when photography became more accessible the smiling became more acceptable and prunes was changed to 'cheese and crackers' and then shortened to cheese.
