🚨BREAKING: Cheese has a PhD and a side hustle as a scientist. 🧀🔬 But wait, the white stuff isn't mold; it's just your cheese's attempt to update its LinkedIn profile. 🧀🤓 Clearly, the biggest revelation since sliced bread. 🍞👏

(5/5) “The advantage of a (#cheese)wire is that you can apply pressure only at the edge of the cut without all the extra friction & without squashing the cheese 🧀 so much that it becomes stiffer & harder to cut.

…Cutting cheese with a wire is a neat solution to the #physics problem of how to create a sharp, smooth cut in a resistant #proteinmesh.”
