Bad news, I don't think it's mild cheddar anymore
If the wax seal has never been broken and it's been kept in a cool pantry or cellar, I'd 100% eat it.
If you cannot verify either: chuck it.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

As best as I can tell, the wax is still has no cracks and it's been stored in the beer fridge this entire time
Open gently, place on a freezer cooled plate and let it breathe for an hour... carve and enjoy.
Well, carve at least

It's not been stored correctly though for aging. It's not even the oldest cheese I've eaten though.
Bad news, I don’t think it’s mild cheddar anymore
Oh no, that's become wild cheddar my friend.
Still more cultured than the US.
~pls ignore, this is just rage bait. Have a nice day.~
Hey, I've got plenty of culture. Proper gaming culture - that is, tabletop, board, and single player video gaming, not online competitive bullshit that's played by the kind of people who used to torment real gamers before the current era of FIFA, COD, MOBAs, and multiplayer in general.
Okay, fair. You get a pass.

When a friend's parents passed away, he came over to start packing up their house. He found tartar sauce that could vote and little onyx-like bricks of partially consumed cream cheese in the fridge. The spice rack contained Owl Spices which were donated to the state historical society.
He found tartar sauce that could vote
Strange that it had the sentience to accomplish that.
It doesn't have sentience, it votes Republican
God dammit. That explains a lot! Ok guys! Stop producing cheese! It's our only hope!
Start producing smarter cheese. Give it two cells, it may vote independent.

holy shit. I haven't thought of Owl in decades.
That is the most Wisconsin thing I’ve ever seen.

Lol we're no fans of the packers either. Iirc it was a joke gift for when my grandparents moved to their current house

Do not eat green cheese.
It's not too bad if you scramble it into your green eggs. It pairs exceptionally with green ham.
Keep it in mint condition (and colour) at this point. :)
At this point I think it can be considered an heirloom

Not sure it can legally be called cheese anymore
What color did it start as
Mmmm extra mature
eat the fucking cheese
Is that an astronaut?
My assumption from the coloring was a football player.
The back label says football player
So, it's an astronaut. Like Katie Perry.
Or a football playing king in space, with a moustache
I thought that at first too, but it definitely looks more like an astronaut helmet.
Did you miss the 2nd picture of the back of it that says 4oz football player at the top?

yeah anyone recommending eating that is just wrong
Think of what cheese is.
"I milked this cow, and now the milk has become full of bacteria, smells gross, and has solidified.......but I think I'm going to eat it."

I remember getting into such a heated argument with a dumbass on early lemmy about moldy bread and cheese.
it got so heated that I was issued a temporary ban for telling them to go ahead and eat a moldy cheese sandwich and die from food poisoning.
some people just want to prove they're "tough" by risking their lives for the dumbest shit.
Moldy bread? Nah.
Moldy hard cheese? Just generously cut off the mold and it's fine*
*I wouldn't feed this to anyone else, but I'd eat it, and do all the time
EDIT: the USDA agrees that moldy hard cheese is safe to eat https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/If-food-has-mold-is-it-safe-to-eat
For hard cheese, such as Cheddar, cut off at least 1-inch around and below the mold spot (keep the knife out of the mold itself). After trimming off the mold, the remaining cheese should be safe to eat.
