Meet the Reds giant cheese mascot

A huge block of cheddar out in the sun, what could possibly go wrong?

What’s this? Oh, nothing... just a giant block of cheddar to commemorate the start of the Cincinnati Reds season. We sincerely hope nobody plans to eat this thing. Keeping dairy products in the open air for extended time is a bad idea. That weird “cheese sweat” thing will start happening and it will be a NIGHTMARE for anyone with slight lactose intolerance.
