A central Wisconsin dairy has set a record for the longest piece of string cheese!
The cheese is nearly three-quarters of a mile long! In case you were wondering, that is more than 3,800 feet, and it took hundreds of people to make it hold up.
Incidentally, the dairy set the previous record in 1995, but this one blows it out of the water. That piece was only 2,000 feet long.
