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.

So the money of Big Parma is behind her

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 73 points 3 months ago

Why does the website have this section? I am dying of laughter.

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@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

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

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

that third wheel will go for millions

and the feet ones too probably

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago

America: I'm sponsored by soulless corporate conglomerates.

Italy: I'm sponsored by cheese!

America: tears up and salutes Italy

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

[-] x0x7@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

That's going to get sold on the internet.

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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.

[-] Breezy@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

[-] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 21 points 3 months ago

How do I get sponsored by cheese? urgent

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 23 points 3 months ago

Are you a beautiful Italian gymnast skilled enough to become an olympian?

[-] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 21 points 3 months ago

[-] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 12 points 3 months ago

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

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

I approve this message.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 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.

[-] WhyFlip@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago
