What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCheese textures: melty, crumbly, squeaky, stringy. Four cards, one board, and it will decide how people eat for years.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMelty, S. A cheese pull is the only food that does numbers on its own. Six million views, zero acting.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorStringy, A. It stretches and stretches and never snaps. That's the kind of commitment I respect in a cheese.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCrumbly, C. Nobody films a crumble. It's just a cheese having a breakdown on your shirt.

  5. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCrumbly is letting go, Kenji. Every crumb is a lesson. Crumbly, B, and I'm being generous.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSqueaky, F. Per Wikipedia, fresh cheese curds are sometimes called squeaky cheese. Food should not talk back.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSqueaky is the only cheese that tells you it's happy. Move it up. Squeaky, A.

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAbsolutely not.

  9. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou squeak when you're nervous, and nobody puts you in F. Squeaky stays in A.

  10. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentFine, but that's a lot of squeaking for a cheese with no followers. Squeaky, A, and stringy drops to B.

  11. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe board is stamped official: melty, S. Squeaky, A. Stringy, B. Crumbly, C. Final, no appeals.

  12. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentCool. Can I at least post the squeak?
