      If you start eating packaging like stickers glued to the rind of cheese, I think you can legally be considered a kind of human-goat hybrid.

      My networth would increase if you value the cheese-turned-fat at parmigiano market value.

      So if you eat the chip, does it mean you officially become a wheel of cheese?

      Depends if you have been a real or a fake person before… ;-)
