cheesy joke. Stay tuned forCheese Bites episode Best dressed.
According to jsonline.com backin April, for a Kentucky Derby party,
Wisconsin Cheese offered hatsthat they say were both tasty and

(00:45):
tasteful. They had somethingthey called the rinds and roses collection.
And they collaborated with amilliner that's a hat designer. Her
name was Christine A. Moore,and she made some amazing looking
hats.
Yes, she did.
Now, the little hats that theywear over in England for fancy events,
this is kind of these types ofhats, they're usually called fascinators.

(01:10):
These ones were called from Oginators.
From Oginators.
They basically look like acharcuterie on a hat. But they're.
But they're kind of pretty,really. There's orange and red and
all kinds of, like, veils.They're just really cool. You've
got to look at them.
Yeah, they are.
They retail, however, between1500, $3000.

(01:30):
Holy cow. That's so much.
It is. But all of the proceedsbenefited Barnstable Brown Diabetes
center at the University ofKentucky. According to ChicagoTribune.com,
it was 1987 when the firstCheesehead hat was formed, and the
founder of Fomation, RalphBruno, actually hacked couch cushions

(01:51):
and used a blowtorch to makethe Cheesehead hat. But those days
are gone. The transformationhappens within five minutes and several
times a day in the Walker'sPoint neighborhood of Milwaukee.
They have tours at Fo Mation.And it shows how a thick goo is poured
into a mold and it becomes ahat whose color and hole patterns
they say loosely resembles across between cheddar and Swiss.

(02:14):
And apparently, according toRalph Bruno, that hat, that original
hat, was painted yellow andworn at a baseball game. And they
say here what began as a larkturned into a livelihood for the
inventor.
Wow.
And they also say the OxfordDictionary recognizes Cheesehead
as an informal reference to ablockhead head idiot or packers fan.
Oh, wow.
Cheesehead is actually atrademark for the Fomation product

(02:36):
line. They even tell a storyhere that it didn't hurt business
when a pilot crashed his lightplane on the way home from a 1995
packers game.
Oh, no.
And he insisted a Cheeseheadhat protected him from head injuries.
They say the tours run hourlyat Fomation's original cheesehead
factory at 1120 South Barkleystreet and it's open daily. Prices

(02:58):
start at 15 for a 30 minute tour.
Really?
An hour long tour is $2025 andit includes time to make and take
home a Cheezhead souvenir.
Whoa.
Not a Packers fan. But youlove Cheez its. Well, according to
ShopCheezit.com you can getall kinds of cool merch, really.
You can get a hat, a buckethat, a baseball cap. You can get

(03:20):
a crew neck, a T shirt, youname it. But the coolest thing on

it looks just like a Cheez itcracker that you can use in the pool
this summer. And you knowwhat? This is one of the cheaper
things their list it is theCheez it floaty goes for $34.95.
Nice.

(04:31):

cool T shirt and they alsohave some cheese. The T shirt goes
for $20 and it says got cheeseand it's got a picture of a block
of cheese and a little mouse.I actually can't tell if this one

cheese dresses that were ondisplay at the Royal Bath and West
show.

got to check this guy out onInstagram or even Facebook. He uses
things like balloons, metalpieces, fruit, and other things to
enhance and draw out thecreative intent of his Designs.

(05:34):
Whoa.
In 2016, he had the mostamazing one, in my opinion, where
he depicted a woman wearing adress made of Swiss cheese.
I'm ready for a joke fondue.
Okay. Why did Swiss cheesefail the dress code?
I don't know.
Because it was full of holes.Get it? Cause Swiss cheese is full
