This experiment stretches my belief system way past the huh stage.

Seems that if you play different types of music (24/7) for a curing cheese wheel you get different flavors. Hip hop produced the "best" flavor. It beat out Mozart which used to win other experiments like this - specifically playing music and plant growth. I guess the Smithsonian ran out of money to pay for more rigorous research. Or the greenhouse was already full of plants swinging to Mozart.

For extraordinary claims: maybe a Veterinarian who plays cheese maker is not best choice for lead researcher.

I heard about this on NPR and nearly thought it was a joke!

Already, he says people have called requesting cheese that has listened to the blues, Balkan music and ACDC

I found that sentence interesting.
Blue cheese anyone.
Or is it The Blues Cheese.
