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
“Swiss”, fucking barbarians! (/s?)
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.
“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!
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.

Cat brand
Meow?
If I were a graph, I would be this graph!
Why does the x axis start at 5?
Note that the distance from $5 to $10 is the same as the distance from $10 to $20.
That’s because both distances are “multiply by two”.
This is a logarithmic scale plot, where distance measures how much you need to multiply to get from one number to the next. You are probably used to linear scale plots where distance measures how much you need to add to get from one number to the next.
Log scales make it much easier to compare numbers that cover a very wide range. On a linear scale, the top few bars would be so large that you wouldn’t be able to see the bottom few, let alone compare them.
There is no zero on a log plot, because anything you multiply by zero is still zero. Zero is infinitely far to the left because you need to multiply by infinity to get up to the values on this plot. You can take that five and keep dividing by 2 to get smaller and smaller numbers that never hit 0, but each one is as far to the left as the 5 is from the 10.
Ahh, thanks. Don’t know why I didn’t think to check the spacing of the rest of the numbers

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.
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!
Above €55/kg for some roquefort, above €45/kg for the reblochon ! Oo
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…
