It all started with a slice of cheese.
Sam Cornett, a local contractor, was driving down Pine Street when he noticed something being thrown at his truck.
“I thought that was kind of strange, so I flipped around and saw them throwing a bunch of items at vehicles and pedestrians,” he said. “I was in a low-speed chase with the cheese flinger, and they got away.”
A week later as Cornet picked up his daughters from the Sandpoint Waldorf School and parked at the nearby skate park. When he returned, he found three more cheese slices. Cornett’s girlfriend, who works at the YMCA, was also “cheezed.”
After finding the slices, Cornett started looking around the park and quickly found the car he recognized as the cheese throwers’....

I'm posting this piece as a warning. This cheese throwing thing is a big deal. It's more widespread than we imagine.
About a week ago, I was stopped at a light. I heard something hit the driver's side front window. When I looked, I saw two squares that looked like American cheese slices. I was slightly worried, thinking there might be some sort of new fangled weapon out there that resembles cheese.
You have to admit this year has been so crazy that anything can happen.
I got home a few minutes later and had a chance to look closer before opening the door. It was indeed cheese, I decided, so I peeled it off.
I thought perhaps the people stopped in the car in the lane to my left had just gotten through a drive thru restaurant and were upset that the sandwich they ordered had cheese when they asked for it without and reacted to this immaturely by removing the cheese and flinging it out the window, not caring where it ended up.
I did hear laughing when it happened, but figured the immature idiots just thought it was funny that the cheese landed on my car.
Today I come to learn from my S.O. that within the past week two co-workers reported going out to their cars to find slices of cheese on them. One friend did not know about the cheese on time to prevent it from melding to the vehicle and causing damage.
So I guess with everything else that is going on we have to walk around our cars and inspect them for cheese.
Moose. Sister.
Blessed are the cheese flingers.
I hope it was real cheese, and not individually wrapped slices.
You were thinking Monty Python too, eh?
It was such low quality cheese that even the raccoons and skunks didn’t eat it.
I googled it. There’s only one Bonner County. It’s in Idaho.
Mmmmm, 64 slices of American cheese
I’m a good 2000+ miles east of Idaho, so the cheese flinging fad has spread across the country.
Great minds think alike.
Idaho?
What pasteurized fresh hell is this!
Sandpoint, yep Idaho. Must be those crazy white supremist.
“Cheese supremacists”
This story has vindicated me. Because I have long advocated for common-sense cheese control.
1. No one under 21 should be able to buy cheese.
2. No one convicted of any dairy-related crime should be able to buy - or possess - cheese.
3. Cheese should be sold in blocks only. Cutting cheese into throwable slices should be a Class A felony.
There was some STUPID thing about throwing a slice of cheese on your baby’s FACE!!! I saw some videos on FAX! What mother would do that?
What's the charge, officer?
Assault with a Dairy Weapon!
Automatic cheese slicers should be banned.
Semi-automatic cheese slicers should be limited to cutting. maximum of nine slices of cheese between cleaning. Does anyone really need ten slices of cheese for a sandwich?
Regarding number 3, if slicing cheese is a felony, what would I have on my sandwiches? Can I still cut the cheese?
Ping.
