Part of the live experience of going to an NBA game is in-arena entertainment, where teams go to great lengths to pass the time during TV timeouts so people aren’t just sitting in their seats staring at nothing until the game restarts.
A favorite of sports teams is some brand-sponsored game that involves a fan, whether doing something on the court or some kind of trivia from their seat. Sometimes, when the stars align, this can result in some impressive displays of random knowledge when the topic happens to be in their wheelhouse.
In Milwaukee, this happened on Sunday as the Bucks hosted the Kings and a lady in the stands wearing a cheesehead was asked to name as many different types of cheese as she could in 30 seconds. She named an incredible 27. I guess you can call her a…cheese whiz.

The best part is the semi-apologetic, “I don’t know” at the end as if she let them down by not knowing any more. I’m not sure I could name 27 cheeses if you gave me 30 minutes, but I’m also from the suburbs of Atlanta and not cheese country. I’ve been trying to think of anything I could be this successful with and maybe it’s rap albums from Atlanta artists, but even then I’m not sure I could get to 27 in 30 seconds.
I hope the Bucks do this every game to see how high people can go, because I feel like 27, while a high bar, can be topped by another Wisconsin native. Extra kudos to this lady for doing this while holding a child, because that only ups the degree of difficulty because of the possibility of being distracted.
