Mt. Rushmore in cheddar

Cheeze-It Brand crackers commissioned Troy Landwehr, who carved  a 700 pound block of cheddar cheese into Mt.Rushmore. This stands out  because I worked on the tour when it came to Baltimore/Washington DC area and at that time Mt. Rushmore wasn’t looking as good as it debut in Times Square. Every go to a store and buy 64 boxes of Cheeze-It? You might enjoy my story from ‘07.
