[edit] Weasel

The sentence "The wearer of that original foam hat then had the idea of starting a business selling cheeseheads hats." weasels out mention of the actual inventor's name. 172.195.125.33 02:00, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I have added a paragraph about the birth of the Cheesehead and found the name of the inventor, which is included in the paragraph. I also added the address, in the external links section, to the company which manufactures the hats. Tyler 06:55, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Now now my dutch friend, Its a title we wear with pride. If we don't, our rivals (cough cough Vikings) Know it.

[edit] WSU?

Anybody have evidence for the Cougar Cheese can hat? They don't sell it (or even mention it) on their site, so its inclusion is probably not warranted any longer. --Chancemichaels 19:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Chancemichaels

[edit] Weasel words

removing the two italicized statements from this para:

Cheesehead was used derogatorily on the 1980-1990 sitcom Full House. The use of this word on the show caused the word to be used more commonly. Michelle Tanner continually calls her Uncle Jesse this name. Some people think that the show's use of this phrase helped it gain worldwide popularity.

Repetitive, unsourced, and weasely all at the same time. --Chancemichaels 17:49, 25 September 2007 (UTC)Chancemichaels

[edit] Adam Knowles reference

I've removed the Adam Knowles reference as it was confusing ("The hat was originally made in four sizes. Small, medium, large, and Adam Knowles"). The original version added an explanation about Adam Knowles, but I have been unsuccessfull in locating any reference to it, so instead of reinstating the original version I've decided to remove it completely. It is an amusing anecdote though, so if a reference can be found, I think the story should be included again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Claus L.
