Suitable for people who work in cramped environments, like miners and submariners.
A network of tubes permeate the cheese, and with the small hand-vacuum pump provided, draws the air out of the cheese so it can pass through narrow passages.
As a safety feature, the pump can be reversed, to inflate
the cheese as a buoyancy aid*, or for plugging holes is sea-walls and so on.
* Gorgonzola has a natural repellent effect on sharks, which suggests a very unusual evolution path in early cows.

If we get you some hungry sharks, will you personally demonstrate that ? |
|
| |
But of course. I'll be in Atlantic, they'll be in the Pacific. |
|
| |
Interestingly, the Pacific isn't that pacific, guess the Spanish caught it on a good day. |
|
| |
Naming it 'Pacific' was marketing - as also done by
Great Britain, Buenos Aires, Greenland, and New York
which are, respectively, not great, buenos, green or
new. The correct Halfbakery response would have been
to propose laws which allow one to sue countries,
bodies of water, etc. for damages and emotional
distress caused by their false marketing. |

Can't help wondering what would have been the fate of the Titanic, if the steerage passengers had had inflatable cheese to hand.. |
|
| |
they definitely did, if the movie can be believed, because that was incredibly cheesy ... |

You'll run into IP issues with this one. The French
put a lot of R&D money into developing Brie
Gonflable in the mid-70's; and then there's the
attempt by the Belgians to develop the Rapid
Deployment Brabant in the early 80's. |
|
| |
The French patents have long since expired, but I
believe that the Belgians extended the life of their
patents by claiming for other applications (mainly
in the hydrology/tapestry markets, of course).
And even if their patents, too, are expired, there's
not much room left in this area, IP-wise, which will
make it difficult to get backing. |

| |
Even more problems have arisen since the UN listed Jarlsberg in Schedule 1 of the Chemical Weapons Convention. |

International courts and in rem jurisdiction [link] probably
already allow that. |

Plan B is to invite a party of investors from a certain Asian country, then leave all the laptops by open windows. At least the idea will get used...."how to get your ideas made real" linky. |

Hmm, oddly redolent of Stross's story "A Tall Tale" also linkied. |
