The same year, "[[Voodoo Lady]]" was released by the New Zealand label [[Flying Nun Records]] as a [[7" single]], with "Buenas Tardes Amigo" on the [[A-side and B-side|B-side]]; both songs were also issued on the ''Voodoo Lady'' EP in CD format, along with the tracks "There's a Pig" and "Vallejo". "[[Freedom of '76]]" was the title track of an EP released by Flying Nun in 1995, which included two versions of the title track plus "Now I'm Freaking Out" and "Pollo Asado".

The first music video for the album was "I Can't Put My Finger on It", followed by "Voodoo Lady", and "Freedom of '76", filmed circa March 1995.<ref>{{Citation |title=Ween 1995-03-03 NYC Hosts and Performs on MTV 120 minutes |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLwPtpR0lUk |access-date=2023-03-26 |language=en}}{{Dead link|date=April 2025}}</ref> [[CKY (band)|CKY]] guitarist (and dedicated Ween fan) [[Chad Ginsburg]] appeared in the "Freedom of '76" promo video as an extra shouting at Gene and Dean after they stole the [[Liberty Bell]].

On top of the Elektra Records release (Elektra 61639-2 US 1994), ''Chocolate and Cheese'' was pressed and distributed by the label [[Grand Royal]] in the US in 1994 as a 2 LP non-gatefold version (Grand Royal GR 010 US 1994). Flying Nun released two different versions in 1994, one of which came with a bonus 7" single (Flying Nun Records FN314 Europe 1994, no 7") and (Flying Nun Records FNSP314 UK 1994, with 7").

Note that there is a catalog number for the vinyl issue by Elektra Records, but there is no confirmation it was pressed on vinyl at this time, possibly only in promo edition.
