Let's Find Out If You Can Drive a Car on Cheese Wheels

As parents all over the world scramble for projects they can safely do while stuck inside with their children, the experiment we're about to show you is decidedly not kid-friendly. But at the very least, this video is a fantastic way to kill 17 minutes with your family while you search for the next fun task to do together. The question is simple: Can you drive a car on wheels made of cheese? Allow the Good Mythical Morning (GMM) crew to find out. First, Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal try a very literal version: fitting a car with readymade entire wheels of cheese. You’ve probably seen part of a cheese wheel at the counter of a higher-end grocery store, or sometimes a whole one waiting to be sliced. These come in every size, from tiny Babybel waxes all the way up to six foot Goudas. The engineers rule out brittle hard cheeses, but even the most rubbery natural cheese isn’t structural grade. So the GMM crew must get creative, and what they end up making is a kind of cheese concrete. Between layers of cheesecloth soaked in melted cheese, they combine aggregate (in the form of crumbled Doritos and Goldfish crackers) with cheese sauce to make a tough, structural filler. This material is carefully rolled out, assembled in situ, and coiled around a bare tire rim that certainly didn’t expect to end up being rolled in cheese. After one final coating of melted cheese, the tires are ready to go. In the structure of the tire, the pure cheese is acting as the interstice, bonding the sturdy and static aggregate materials together while still giving them flexibility and shock absorption. And yes, the cheese wheels hold up the car for a short roll in a parking lot.

Keen-eyed observers will notice some of the oldest commercial plastic products were made with brittle galalith, a durable material made from milk protein and formaldehyde in an industrial-scale version of the milk plastic home experiment. We may never tire of cheese. But it turns out we can tire with cheese. Thank you.
