"Once again the investor with the cheesiest portfolio comes out on top!"

"Oh no! I'm ruined!"
Can't we solve this problem like Elon would solve the problem and simply store the cheese in space?
Honestly storing cheese in space makes more sense than putting data centers in space
I want quicker access to cheese than space.
Only after announcing the cheese will be on Mars next year. Every year
"The first cheese to reach Mars!"
Then what would Italy be known for without it's cheese?

Much government cheese is stored in "Missouri cheese caves",[10] underground warehouses for storing and aging cheese in and around the Midwestern state of Missouri, part of a national network of such facilities.[11] An erroneous article by Modern Farmer began circulating on social media in 2022 implying all of the USDA's 1.5 billion pounds of cheese was stored in caves near Springfield, Missouri.[12][13]
The US has it too.

Bilbo! Another round of cheese for Thorin's Dustr!
It was a play on words.
round - a drink of liquor apiece served at one time to each person in a group
and
the fact that dwarves are prodigiously hungry and thirsty
gives us:
They would each require their own round of cheese for a round served to the group, which is what Thorin called to be delivered to the table. Hence the price tag.
But thank you for the earnest education on delicious cheese. The pungent, well aged cheeses have always been my favorite.
I'm a big time nerd and your joke was too nerdy for me, that's really something!
Damn, Popular Mechanics. That pronoun usage is very grade school awful.
