fondue it's this thing we do with cheese we melt it we dip it we eat it in the 70s it became super popular but that didn't just happen by chance there was an ominous force behind it a real-life cheese cartel [Music] a hundred years ago cheese was a hot commodity in Switzerland it was exported at high volumes and played a major role in the Swiss economy but that all changed after World War one European countries devastated by the war could no longer afford to buy expensive imported cheese which was bad news for Switzerland so the government stepped in and they formed the cheese Union basically it was a cartel and it worked like this the first thing they did was force every dairy farmer and cheese monger to fix the price of cheese eliminating competition meaning everyone could stay in the game the cheese cartel also told them exactly how much cheese to make and limited the varieties so instead of making thousands of different kinds of cheese they only made seven and it worked the cartel controlled the cheese supply for decades by the 70s they got greedy and wanted to expand their keys racket globally so they introduced the world to a dish already popular in the freezing cold Alps fondue mmm by marketing cheese for fondue the cartel was able to sell more I mean think about it it takes a lot and I mean a lot of cheese to fill a pot but as with most cartels things got shady money went missing people went to jail and by the 1990s the Swiss cheese Union was dismantled so there you have it the reason we know and love fondue is because of a shady government program that convinced the world to consume massive amounts of melted cheese [Music] you
