How did “cheese” become the standard verbal prompt for smiling?

Asked by raum (13207points) November 17th, 2022 from iPhone

Why “cheese”? Does it have anything to do with cheese? Or is it just the mouth shape that the word makes?

What other words would make good mouth shapes for a camera? (At the last Picture Day at school, I noticed the photographer used “candy” as a verbal prompt.)
