Sure, that's what it'll cost you if you want to pick some up a pound for sandwiches this week. But what if you need more? Like, a whole lot more?

Like, 4,500 pounds more? Because there's one store in Michigan where you can find it!

Big Wheel of Cheese

Nestled on the west side of Michigan's capital is a store that has a wheel of cheese soooooooo big, that stealing it would be a felony.

And that store is Horrocks Farm Market.

Everything Horrocks does seems to be on a large scale. Hot soup bar with a couple daily choices? Nah, try over a dozen different soups. Good beer and wine selection with a couple rows to choose from? Try GREAT beer and wine selection that basically takes up a wing of the store. And don't forget the bar where you can order drinks to enjoy while you shop.

But back to the matter at hand, and that has to be one of the largest wheels of cheese there is.

Horrocks Giant Wheel of Cheese

The giant cheese wheel, and Horrocks, was recently given some love on the TikTok of @callmebelly. Here's what it looks like,

Doing the math; if the wheel of cheese is 4,500 pounds and it costs $5.99 a pound, that whole wheel of cheese would cost you $26,955.

Just for the record, Michigan felony law states that

If the property stolen has a value of $1,000.00 or more but less than $20,000.00, it is a felony, punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years and/or a fine of $10,000.00 or 3 times the value of the property stolen, whichever is greater. If the property stolen has a value of $20,000.00 or more, it is a felony, punishable by imprisonment for not more than 10 years and/or a fine of $15,000.00 or 3 times the value of the property stolen, whichever is greater.

So don't go getting any ideas!
