Too weird not to be true.

My condolences to all cheeseheads (and near the Super Bowl too!) <evil grin>

Tragic.

I can't think of a better end for goat cheese! :Sick:

Nothing better than a nice oozing wedge of stinky cheese, the stinkier the better!

With a little thought, they could have set a world record.

The largest fondue set consisted of a pot measuring 2.6 m (8 ft 6 in) in diameter and 1.61 m (5 ft 3 in) deep and two forks measuring 2.61 m (8 ft 6 in) long and was created by the Football Club Semsales (Switzerland) in celebration of their 75th anniversary in Semsales, Switzerland, on 26 June 2010.
The fondue prepared in the pot used 922.5 kg (2,033.76 lb) cheese, equal parts gruyere and vacherin

.

The longest fondue table measures 575 metres (1,886 ft 5 in) and was created by Brienz Rothorn Bahn AG and Luftseilbahn Sörenberg-Brienzer Rothorn AG on the Brienzer Rothorn, Switzerland, on 19 July 2008.
The table consisted of several smaller tables that were bolted together. All in all 1,656 people sat on the table, they brought their own fondue sets and had set them up in the required distance from one another. The table was partly indoor and partly outdoor.
