Did you know? America has a strategic cheese reserve.

“As of August 2022, the U.S. had 1.5 billion pounds of cheese in cold storage across the country. That’s around $3.4 billion worth of cheese.”

“A sizable portion of the stockpile is stored in a massive underground warehouse (a former limestone quarry) outside of Springfield, Missouri.”

If cheese ever becomes a precious commodity, Fond du Lac is the Dubai of the future. We’re building those skyscrapers now, on spec. We already have one that’s the tallest building in northern Wisconsin – nearly the size of a five-story building if you count the antenna, which admittedly comprises four of the five stories.

  1. Strangely enough, I did know that. At one point they were banking so much they didn’t know what to do with it all. So they started giving it away to people on welfare. Hence the term government cheese.

  2. Yes, but do we have a tactical cheese reserve? You know, a quick reaction cheese strike group? Like Delta Force, but more dairy-oriented. The only thing of that sort I can think of a police unit, “Edam-12”.
