Say: Rocket Cheese
grandprix 63: Raketost
"Raketost" (rocket cheese) was a Swedish cheese manufactured between 1947 and 1979. The semi-soft cheese was pushed out of a tube and cut using an attached piece of string. It didn't taste very much but many, especially children, loved it. It has become something of a symbol for (50s) nostalgia.
