The average american only eats 2 ounces of cheese a day.

Charles Entertainment Cheese, who eats 7 billion pounds of cheese a day, is an outlier and should not be counted.

When reached for comment, he replied "Please, Charles Cheese is my father. Call me Chuck."

Reminds me of a joke (kinda) thought I had years ago. Chuck E Cheese should open a fine dining white tablecloth restaurant called Charles E. Fromage.

i'm requesting french onion, not minestrone

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"Very well. Let me just go and confer with our chef to make sure we can accommodate your request."

[Distant, muted sounds from kitchen, including plates crashing and yelling.] "...Che Cazzo? Vai a dire a quel figlio di puttana di andare a farsi fottere, e se quel pezzo di merda chiede un'altra sostituzione nel menu, digli che gli taglio le palle io stesso..."

"I apologize, but the chef...uh...respectfully declines menu substitutions at this time."

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

theres more cheese in the french onion tho

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

We'll get you some parmesan for the soup.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It better be like 90 pounds of it

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

At that point, isn't just a cheese salad with soup dressing?

I didn't hear any complaining though.

also why didn't we make the eleventh course fondue? that nacho cheese machine has good output

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

I have to admit, that's pretty inspired. A nacho fondue served from one of those 7-Eleven machines with the plastic bladder full of a cheese-adjacent semisolid substance would be way more on brand.

I wish I could takes credit for that one, but I tried to spell it from memory. I knew there was a 'q' in it, but not much more.

Charles Edward Cheddarton's. He's a fat British mouse but runs a fine establishment unlike his American cousin.

I doubt they beat me to the idea, but they certainly did on executing it. That is glorious!!!

Charles Divertissement Fromage, non?

please do not doxx me

[–] oatscoop@midwest.social 6 points 2 days ago

I don't think we should count Wisconsin either. They have so much they wear it on their heads.

Speak for yourself, I personally eat 100lbs each day (200lbs on Sundays)
