According to the three-second rule (so the bacteria wouldn\u2019t have time to latch on), I swiftly picked it up, blew the dust off, and plopped it back onto the cracker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I watched the movie, let the cheese warm up a bit, and eventually took a bite. I have to say, it was disappointing. The flavor was definitely strong\u2014but not in a good way. I ate it anyway but didn\u2019t bother with a second piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This morning, when I woke up and came into the living room, I noticed that the piece of cheese was still on the floor in front of the couch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now the question is\u2026 what the hell did I eat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was about the thickness of a thumb tip, around 3 centimeters long, and smelled and tasted intensely like foot sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A remarkably long-lasting aftertaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-contrast-3-color\"><strong><em>Get NordVPN 75% off + 3 extra months, and stay anonymous &amp; safe.
