A Swedish woman went viral on Twitter when she shared a picture of just how much cheese the average American eats in a year.

Now we presumed it would be quite a lot, but we had no idea quite how much.

This is ninety pounds of cheese.

The average American eats this much cheese every day.

It prompted all sorts of funny replies as you might imagine, some more predictable than others.

The average American does NOT eat NINETY POUNDS OF CHEESE every day – that’s nonsense – and it isn’t even good comedy – BUT some who have IQs near sea level will believe this silliness, some Aoc types will say this much cheese in a day is why Americans are so fat, a DNC Senator…

You’d be much more agreeable if you ate 90lbs of cheese like most of your people.

To be fair, it’s an average. Most people aren’t eating this much cheese. It’s really me and a few other guys holding the average up.

Surely, you mean every YEAR.

But one particular theme emerged, involving one particular country. And if we hadn’t already told you in the headline we reckon you’d still be able to guess.

Im French, and I can’t see any cheese in that photo https://t.co/LXUVHKRcMC
