      I suppose it looks a bit like a Swiss cheese with all its craters looking like holes?

      Plus, it’s a way cooler explanation than having it made of rocks!

      I’ve always wondered that too. It’s not like cheese is a naturally occuring thing! 😉 I wonder if there’s some wierd story around it….

      Because they aren’t sure at all what it is made of, and sometimes people make jokes to explain the unexplainable.

      Or people are obsessed by cheese.
