have a treat.

alt image (catbox, high quality)

so i got a net of babybel. they are expensive, wow. but they are really fun treats too. so now you get to take part in the babybel experience.

they really are little cheese wheels, aren’t they? i guess it’s the easiest stable of shape to get with cheese. a ball would take up too much storage and is harder to eat. but this flattened circle shape is pretty good.

i really want to get cought up on posts so that means two more today. i have a plan for the first, the second will be more difficult. let’s see.

i wish you a wonderful day and I hope that you treat yourself after a difficult day <3

    I get babybels for my boyfriend each week and yeah they’re pricey! But unwrapping them is fun and they’re a handy way to transport cheese for hikes and stuff :3

    I’m glad they use paper now instead of plastic

      yesss they are a really sweet treat.

      apparently the paper wrapper is a roll-out thing so we will have to wait for 2027 for this to become mostly universal.

    I take these on multi-day kayak trips. Some day I’m going to gouge my hull and the wax will save me. I can’t wait to be a sponsored article in the local news.

    This is precious and cute and really fun and well done!! I love it. & Unwrapping them may be the best part, although they’re very tasty, too. I also like playing with the wax and wadding it up into a ball and throwing it at someone.

    The way you put this together is very satisfying! It’s like the closest I can get to doing the unwrapping myself without actually having any. Good job!!

    Mother ate a lot of babybel when I was growing up, I think they were easy to work into weight watchers number things.

      samsiesssss ~ i tried my best here, but you can see a little horizontal tare in the first “nom” image (where the shell is opened)

      it’s hard, but you can do it by just pushing the wax up a bit from below and that makes it come out. am surprised i didn’t think of this as a kid.

      I squeeze the corners of the wax inward a little, at the ends parallel to where you removed the strip and that makes it fully let go of the cheese. Then you can just take the full cheese out. Hope this makes sense if not I can try drawing it!

          After this you can let go and the wax will be loose enough to take the cheese out :) but I drew this on my phone and don’t know how to make more space on the canvas

          Also in this example you have purple nails but it’s not required!!

            Okay drawing helped a lot. I didn’t understand 🤣

            You should post this as its own role, it’s amazing.

      What? Why? It’s good chese. You can even grill it a bit to make it extra tasty

        Nah, the other comment was rough in its delivery but I agree, Babybel is one of these things that didn’t hold up to my childhood memories when I tried it again as an adult, it’s not bad, it’s just mostly tasteless.

        Clearly you never have had proper French, Italian, Dutch, British (yes they can do it too), Spanish, Portuguese and/or Swiss cheese.

        These things are just tasteless factory junk.
