(00:50):
We seem to do bad at planningsome of these episodes because this
would have been a great onefor Mother's Day. Today is Mother's
Day in the United States andsome of these items that we found
online would have made somegreat gifts.
There's Father's Day.
True. And in all reality, allof these things that you can buy,
you could do any time of theyear. So this is a pretty good list.
We stumbled upon this firstone on a website called hackaday.com

(01:15):
there is something super cool.It is a keyboard. They say for mice
all the keys look just likeSwiss cheese.
Yeah, they do.
This is a computer keyboardand there's an Image by Robert Loblaw
2 from Reddit. Each of thekeys is really cool and it looks
like a little piece of Swisscheese on the top where you've got
your escape key, you've got alittle mouse mouse and there's a

(01:36):
little grater. This coolkeyboard is 3D printed and there's
even a free file that you canclick on in this website. And they
say should you require such acharcuter keyboard for yourself,
don't need a computerkeyboard. But you're looking for
something that smells great.Well, there are cheese shaped candles.
Yeah, that's right. We found acouple of different websites.

(01:58):
Okay.
On uebrooklyn.com there arecheese shaped candles for $15. There's
a round one, a triangular oneand one that's heart shaped.
Neat.
There's another triangularshaped one that comes in three different
colors and it comes in a setof two for $15. On Amber Valleycandleco.com
if you're a fan of Amazon,there's also another one there. This

(02:21):
one is for 12.99 and it's atriangular shape.
Nice.
This next item cracked me up.
Okay.
You ever have a pet that'ssick and you have to put a cone on
them?
Oh yeah.
Well there's one on ZZLife.com called the Cheese Cat cone.
Oh, no.
And it's exactly what youthink. Exc. It's like a plushie.
The cat in some of thepictures looks a little bit, shall

(02:42):
I say, irritated that it's gotthis cone on its neck. Like any animal
hates that.
Right.
But you know, you can get thiswithin three to seven days. And it's
$22 on ZZ Life.
Nice.
Let's say you don't want totorment your pet. Well, on Crystal
Images.inc there is apersonalized cheese wedge made of
crystal. This one's a littlepricier. This is 169.99.

(03:05):
Holy cow.
It looks like basically likeclear glass. It's in a ch wedge shape
and it can be personalized.There is something called a facsimile
cheese shaped bowl.
Okay.
And it's on dulce terra.comand it runs about $210.
Holy cow.
I've seen bowls shaped likethis at the grocery store. It looks
like a giant wheel of Parmesan cheese.

(03:26):
Oh, yeah.
And it has little cheesewedges inside. But it would be sort
of an interesting piece foryour kitchen.
Yeah.

(04:24):
Dolce Terra is not a sponsor,but if they were, their ad would
go right here. You know, ifyou're into decorating with cheese
shaped items, this one's foryou on Amazon.com they've got cheese
shaped hand soaps. These aretriangular, they're yellow. And thankfully,
they say it doesn't actuallysmell like cheese, but has a pleasant

(04:45):
creamy scent. They also claimto be made from natural fruit and
tree oil. This next Amazonfind is cracking me up. You can actually
have pillowcases that lookjust like cheese.
Yeah.
There's also a Kraft macaroniand cheese plushie. There's a little
guy that looks like a wedge ofcheese. There is. There's some other
stuff here. There's a toastbread pillow. It looks like a one

(05:07):
for a chair in your kitchen.There's a girl at the top of this
page that's hugging what lookslike a baguette. Apparently there's
a lot of different food shapedpillows out there.
Yeah.
I don't know if I woulddecorate with neon, but I know a
lot of people would. And thereare some really cool cheese shaped
neon signs.
So cool.
There's one that says cheeseunderneath. There's one that has
just a wedge of cheese. Andthey're bright and they're yellow

(05:30):
and they look pretty neat.This next one would be so cool. This
one is on earthlygoods.comthey have cheese shaped seed paper.
These would be something thatyou would likely buy to give out,
like a business card type of athing. You can have it personalized.
You can have it on differentcolors. You can make it into things
like bookmarks, cards, giftpacks, postcards, anything you want.

(05:51):
Yeah.
These papers have a wildflowermix and they said they have a high
guaranteed germination rate.You take this paper, you bury it
in the ground and it actuallycomes up as a flower. There is a,
a cheese shaped crossbodypurse and it goes for only $20 at
thespreadevents.com you canget this purse. You can get a hair

(06:12):
clip. You can even getearrings shaped like wedges of cheese.
And what goes better with apurse than jewelry? Oh, yeah, there
are some classy Etsy pieces ofjewelry shaped like cheese.
Classy.
The first one we found on Etsyis $129 and it's a minimalist cheese
ring in yellow gold. It's thistiny little wedge of cheese on a

(06:33):
tiny band and it actuallylooks nice.
It's pretty.
Etsy also has some cheesecharms. They've got gouda cheese
earrings. There are cheez itcracker earrings. I'm looking at
some grilled cheese earrings.I'm looking at charcuterie board
earrings. There's earrings,there's necklaces, there's cheese
stick earrings. There's hair barrettes.
Holy cow.

(06:53):
And there are a couple ofmanufacturers that have gotten into
the jewelry game.
There are.
A little while back we talkedabout this one. It's called georgethejeweler.com
and they've got the Velveetalip cuff.
Okay.
That's right. There's a cuffthat goes on your lip that looks
like a strip of cheese. Andit's made from gold, 14 karat gold.
Oh my.
This one goes for about $70.And we kind of got suckered into

(07:17):
something this week. We saw anarticle last week and it was about
craft. It was a necklace theysaid for mom. And it wasn't a joke.
It was 14 carats. And thenecklace had a Mac and cheese noodle
on it. And they gave a websitefor a noodle necklace drop. And you
know what?
What?
I can't find anybody onlinethat's actually gotten one.

(07:37):
Oh, no ring.
Concier had the Mac and cheeseforever macaroni necklace. And they
had a website that you couldgo to and a link and a text message.
You would get to talk aboutthis cool looking necklace.
Oh, yeah.
Every day they would send outa text Talking about a drop for a
25 necklace. And every daywhen you got in there and clicked
the button, it wouldn't letyou buy it.

(07:58):
Nope.
Pretty deep. In some of thecomments, they said there was limited
quantities, a limit of one percustomer. I think they meant a limit
of one customer per day.
Oh, no.
The Internet is lambastingthis company and asking. Asking people
that have said online thatthey've gotten one to actually prove
it. Yeah, of course, as soonas this offering came online, there's
ebay, people that have fiveand six hundred dollars for this

(08:20):
necklace. There's even somedupes that have come up on Etsy.
Of course, there's all kindsof comments saying it's shady business
practices and that they shouldhave a class action lawsuit against
them.
Whoa.
Some people have even calledit a scam.
Oh, no.
If you were one of the luckyfew people that actually got one
of these necklaces, pleasereach out and let us know so we can

(08:40):
see what it looks like in reallife. Yes, it's time for my favorite
segment.
This week in cheese.
Well, we hear about anothercheese tragedy.
Oh, no.
WLWT out of Ohio reported on atruck that was carrying about 40,000
pounds of cheese.
Holy cow.
It overturned on April 10th.It took crews over 12 hours to right

(09:03):
the overturned trailer. Inorder to get the truck back on its
feet, it had to be offloadedon site. So they had to bring in
several dumpsters to disposeof the product. Inside, pictures
from the accident were showingboxes kind of pouring out of the
back of the truck.Fortunately, nobody was injured,
but sadly, it sounds like allof the cheese had to be disposed.

(09:24):
I'm ready for a joke fondue.
Okay. Why did cheese break upwith the fruit basket?
Oh, I don't know.
Because it was too jam packedwith drama. Get it? Jam packed?
It's dumb.
Oh, yeah. They're gettingdumber and dumber by the day. Yeah,
but they're always a littlebit cheesy. Thanks for listening
