The one thing that we all have in common here in Wisconsin is pride. Whether that’s cheering on the Green Bay Packers or heading on over to Leinenkugel’s for a brewery tour, we Sconnies tend to stick together. That being said, we all know what Wisconsin is particularity known for, and that’s cheese. According to the Wisconsin Historical Society website, the term “Cheesehead” is used to describe people who reside in American’s Dairyland. Originally, the term was meant to be insulting. Many times it was used as a negative slur toward Wisconsinites during football games or other sporting events. However, one man saw this as an opportunity and changed everything. Not so long ago, the cheesehead hat was born in Milwaukee. Invented in 1987 by Ralph Bruno, the now famous hat was intended to be worn as a show of allegiance to Wisconsin. Bruno was determined to take something negative and turn it into a positive. Oddly enough, Bruno created the first cheesehead hat out of his mother’s sofa cushions and wore it to a Brewers game at County Stadium. People were so intrigued by his ensemble Bruno decided to commit to the business and start producing more hats. As a result of the hat’s success, Bruno is the president of Foamation Inc., a company that excels in making other cheese-inspired products ranging from foam cheese bowties to foam cheese belt buckles.

A PACKER FAN CAN DREAM...

Four foam cheese items we wish you could accessorize with:

Cheese Gloves Sure, they might keep you warm, but we imagine they’d make you pretty useless.

Cheese Skateboard There’s no way it would hold up to the amount of gnar you planned on shredding.

Cheeseformers Optimus Cheddar We clearly love this idea, but we’re not convinced that Michael Bay or Hasbro have quite the love for Wisconsin as we do.

Cheese Clay Matthews Wig Actually, wait a second. How isn’t this already a thing?

GETTIN’ CHEESE-TASTIC

Six foam cheese items you can actually accessorize with:

Earmuffs It’s get cold out here and honestly these muffs are so awesome we would find a way to wear them everywhere we went.

Purse This one is clearly for the ladies, but we wouldn’t put it past a guy to try to pull this look off. C’mon, it’s a foam cheese purse, what is there not to love?

Cheese Dagger Um, is there a way to order fifty and does security allow these into pro games?
