Why scientists played music to cheese?

Consumers could soon be looking at cheese in a new light. Switzerland has played host to a ground-breaking study which goes beyond the usual factors of appearance, taste, and smell. The title is simple but surreal: Cheese in Surround Sound.

Experts describe it in their press release as “a culinary art experiment,” seeking to establish a credible link between cheese and music.

For a more thorough scientific explanation, the reader must consider how “the bio-acoustic impact of sound waves affects metabolic processes in cheese, to the point where a discernible difference in flavor becomes apparent – one which can even be visualized using food technology.”

The man who triggered this unique investigation is Beat Wampfler,...

The study took place at Bern University of the Arts and used sonochemistry to explore the effects of different types of music on maturing cheese wheels. Sonochemistry “looks at the influences of sound waves, the effect of sound on solid bodies” according to Michael Harenberg, director of the university’s music program, quoted by Smithsonian.com.

I want you to know they cut out “bite into a block of cheese” to fit in more commercials.

Yes, it’s been missing in the reruns. I hardly watch them because they are so butchered.

Newman doing the tail-slide in the black NSX in another episode is missing as well.

Sad. I only watch on Hulu any more and still seeing opening scenes I never knew were there.

Yes, there was a cut of “Tuesday has no feel” - that string was sliced and diced.

It’s just like altered history. Take out 10% and most people don’t even know it’s gone.

Sure it’s just a TV show but they do it with “news”, etc.

GEORGE: Yeah! Look at me! I was free and clear! I was living the dream! I was stripped to the waist, eating a block of cheese the size of a car battery!

JERRY: Before we go any further, I’d just like to point out how disturbing it is that you equate eating a block of cheese with some sort of bachelor paradise.

A cannibal would ask: does this mean that people who listen to rap are less tasty than people who listen to classical music?

"“a star-studded panel of judges, featuring artists, chefs and politicians”

I almost believed it until I got to this line.
