Cheese Rolling. Yes, Cheese Rolling

Invented in the 1800s, cheese rolling is exactly what it sounds like. People roll a giant wheel of cheese down a hill and chase after it. Whoever catches the cheese first wins the race. Seriously, this is a sport that exists. This is a sport that has existed for a long time. It is also a surprisingly dangerous sport. In a competition in 2009, 18 people were injured chasing cheese down a hill. The country that was crazy enough to start cheese rolling? England, of course. Just goes to show, some people will do anything for good dairy! Perhaps it will come to Wisconsin next.

Our next sport doesn’t involve cheese, but it does smell quite a bit…
