NOLAN’S CHEDDAR OR HOW A HUMBLE MOUSE OVERCOMES ADVERSITY

CHEDDAR CHEESE A FAVORITE IN LANCASTER,OHIO

CHEDDARCHEESE

“In the United States of America, industrial and processed Cheddar-style cheeses come in several varieties, including mild, medium, sharp, extra sharp.” Many animal species will eat cheddar cheese and the MOUSE in particular is a cheese lover. By the way Nolan’s Cheddar is a new variety; “STRONG”

mosecrop Linda and I have a resident mouse and he recently gave us a “heads up” about Nolan’s Cheddar and one of the funnier videos (about mice) ever produced.

After watching the video I was ready to run to the store to get some Nolan’s Cheddar, but I did a little research and changed my mind.

JOE TODD THE “BIG CHEESE” SAYS, THANKS FOR STOPPING BY. AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO JOHN NOLAN
