"The Packers' online store currently sells 94 different products riffing on the "Cheeseheads" nickname. If you see an NFL fan wearing cheese on their head, you can tell immediately that they're a Green Bay fan. And with that in mind, some enterprising Bears fans sought a way to respond - and found it in an even more ridiculous piece of attire."
"At the time Bardahl's story was published, the waitlist for the cheese grater hats was 7,000. By the time Charles Thrush reported on it for Block Club Chicago, that number had increased to 10,000. The company's CEO, Manuel Rojas, told Block Club Chicago that Foam Party Hats had hired additional employees to respond to the surge in demand. "Due to overwhelming viral demand, our production is currently at full capacity," a message on the company's website reads. "New orders are scheduled to ship in February at the earliest.""
Chicago Bears–Green Bay Packers rivalry fuels fan banter and novel attire-based responses. The Packers franchise markets numerous Cheeseheads products, and cheese-shaped headwear signals Green Bay fandom. Bears supporters adopted cheese grater-themed foam hats produced by a Texas company, Foam Party Hats, as a playful counter. Postseason momentum and viral attention drove demand sharply higher. The waitlist for the grater hats grew from about 7,000 to roughly 10,000. The company hired additional staff and placed production at full capacity. New orders face extended delays, with shipments scheduled in February at the earliest.
