These images are almost perfectly arousing, they just need to get rid of the lady and I’ll be at full mast

Well, I'm not going to not daydream that maybe my little piece of parmesean came from one of those wheels. That's a lot of cheese - it's not like they're going to just throw that out.

I was sad to learn Parmesan isn't vegetarian :(

I was wondering why:

Calf rennet is used, which comes from the stomach of slaughtered calves.

As a man of Italian heritage, I find this incredibly appealing on several levels

[–] Nastybutler 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They'd make all their money back if they auctioned off those particular wheels

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

that third wheel will go for millions

and the feet ones too probably

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 months ago

If I were parmesan I'd sponsor her too. She's the wheel deal.

[–] Etterra 29 points 3 months ago (9 children)

America: I'm sponsored by soulless corporate conglomerates.

Italy: I'm sponsored by cheese!

America: tears up and salutes Italy

That's going to get sold on the internet.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

Oh to be a wheel of cheese in the embrace of an Olympic gymnast. Sigh Some dreams will never come true.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How do I get sponsored by cheese? urgent

[–] TheTetrapod 17 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Did you know those wheels sweat oil? I hope they were wiped down before. And after, I guess.

cheese has never looked so good before

[–] rekorse 11 points 3 months ago

I'd eat that cheese and I'm vegan.

[–] FlyingSquid 11 points 3 months ago

Please tell me this means cheese rolling will become a new Olympic sport!

Oh yes there absolutely is video if you're curious.

[–] masquenox 10 points 3 months ago

Eh, I prefer Irish white cheddars myself. But, on the whole, cheese is probably one of the less-evil things out there doing sponsorships.

[–] homesweethomeMrL 10 points 3 months ago

I approve this message.
