Oh I love this. I’m going to hit my coworker that loves showing off his car with “goat cheese is more expensive per/lb than your car!” Lol
Give a man a Roquefort, he can eat for day. Give a man a Ferrari SF90 Stradale, he can eat for a lifetime.
I don’t think it’s recommended that you eat a whole roquefort at once. The Ferrari even less so.
What’s “goat cheese”? There’s dozens of kinds of goat cheese. If not more.
In the states there is a soft cream cheese like cheese simply called “goat’s cheese”, I am guessing that is the cheese to which they refer.
The world needs more charts that are as of the wall as this.
Why does the x axis start at 5?

Ahh, thanks. Don’t know why I didn’t think to check the spacing of the rest of the numbers
!lemmysilver
Exponential instead of linear.
And where are they buying cheese? At my local Walmart four versions of Cheddar (mild, medium, sharp, and extra sharp) are all $4.22 per pound, less than the 5 minimum.
I would assume they are talking about the grade of cheddar that you can buy alongside fancy cheeses. Like, cheddar off a wheel
What’s muenster doing way up there? I never knew that.
It’s Munster on the list, a washed-rind cheese from France. Muenster cheese in America is probably somewhere down around a used Ford Focus.
Oooohhh
That explains also my second question, “Why is muenster misspelled.” Got it.
Oh wow, now I get it. I always wonder why there was relatively many references in American culture to a relatively little known French cheese.
But now I do!
“Porsche isn’t worth its weight in cheese!”
[receives call] Hello. Oh. It is? Just barely beats Roquefort. Well, fact checking’s your job, Steve. Fine. [click]
“Roquefort is the Porsche of cheeses!”
Not much of a cheese shop is it?
Finest in the district!
If I were a graph, I would be this graph!
What in the chicken fried cheese curd is this semi log scale?
It’s not a log scale, it’s a wheel scale
A “I wanted to make my graph look this way so I chose this particular version of a log tranform” scale.
A bit cheesy if you ask me.
Damn, I didn’t notice that.
For funsies I calculated the Price per Pound for the M1A2 SEPv3 tank, which worked out to be about $163/lb. I guess it make sense that it’s at the super car range haha
Where do warships come in on the chart?
Once again using Wikipedia numbers for the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, with a cost of $5.5 billion in 2024 dollars and a displacement of 101,600 long ton (227584006.38 lbs), that works out to be $24.16 if my math is correct.
What a bargain!
Sucks if your recipe only calls for half a kilo though
This explains why I just love that new cheese smell…
Now I kinda want a cat brand where all the cars are named after cheeses.
Edit: I meant car brand, but I’m leaving it because it’s funny.
siamcheese
Cat brand
Meow?
lol i never realized the Ford F-150 Lightning was cheaper per pound than the standard F-150 considering that the lightning is heavier. Also wild that I’ve eaten cheese that was worth more than a RAV4 per pound lmao
Might depend on the trim. Unless pricing has changed recently, a Lightning in the basic work truck trim is less expensive than a comparable gas engine work trim with the same size cab, bed, and 4WD. Usually only companies buy that trim, though.
oh wow i never realized that.
It says “max $400” but doesn’t list ome of the really fun cheese like 50 year aged cheddar
Yeah, I want to try a cheese that costs more than a Ferrari
Sounds like you’re after the 100 year aged cheddar. That was like $400 a pound and sold in quarter pound cuts when I last saw it. Realistically you can’t really taste the difference between 10 year and 25 year aged cheddar, but it gets crumblier as it ages, so 100 year is great for bragging rights but ultimately for your average splashing on fancy cheese just go for 7-10 year aged
For a real splurge, you want a Ferrari made of 100-year-old cheddar
That has been my experience with most hyper-expensive food. Actually, all of it that I’ve tried.
