    But hey, to each his own.
    When the cheeseheads first came out, I thought it was fantastic (not that I would have worn one myself). Fans took the intended derogatory remark from others, and turned it around completely. Effectively, they were saying; "If being a Packer fan is being a cheesehead, than being a cheesehead is a good thing, and something to be proud of. You can't insult us by calling us cheeseheads!" I thought it would be a fad that would play itself out over time.

    But the time of it being a clever rebuttal has passed. Now it is simply silly, and itself a source of ridicule. The variations are even sillier. The inital concept of a block of cheese, at that time, was clever. But, "cheesehead" caps, hats, bikinis, etc? Those don't even make sense. Now, we are no longer cheeseheads, but people who wear clothing made of cheese?????

    Don't care for it at all, now.
