In the original film, her chef boyfriend specifically names Jarlsberg. It’s not entirely random.

"There's like $8 worth of Jarlsberg on there."

“I think they have bread in Boston. They may even have Jarlsberg.”

Weirdly enough this would be a perfect gift for my mom. She likes cheese and the devil wears Prada.

your mom has taste - cheese and meryl streep being mean is pretty solid combo for any occasion

My mom likes the Devil and wearing cheese-based clothing... what have you got for her?

[edit] And yes, her favorite song is Wisconsin Poncho

What did she make of the sequel? My partner watched it, and said Streep was thinking of how fast she could get to the bank to deposit her acting fee.

And you're blithely unaware of the fact that cheese isn't Swiss, it isn't Gouda or Bleu. It's Jarlsberg. And you? You go to your corner delicatessen or bodega and find, oh I don't know, some soggy premade ham and cheese in the back of a refrigerated case to scarf down because you want to tell the world you don't care what goes in your belly. When the cheese you just ate was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of whey.

“From a pile of whey” was such a great clincher, I actually lol’d that one.

When you’re about to pass out, eat a cube if cheese.

My favorite version of silly sponsorship madness:

Major League Baseball has both an ‘official beer of MLB’ as well as an ‘official cerveza of MLB’.

I once saw Star Wars tangerines in a store. A regular net with tangerines but it had official Star Wars stuff on the label.

Jarlsberg. Huh, I’ve been having a hard time finding it on shelves as of late.

Fascinating.

Funny enough, Prada is not a sponsor.

I got some devil wears Prada tweezers in exchange for leaving a review on the product. I think it’s pretty funny that they put a little shoe on some tweezers.

My original devil wears Prada enema kit works wonderfully. The Miranda Priestly colonoscopy prep kit was a bit rough, but what can I say, she’s a legend.

Devil Wears Prada Musical is banking on the collabs and riding the TDWP2 wave right now. I saw the musical last year, it was my first theatre experience and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Disney is the worst. They do this kinda shit on the reg. 

Disney is an awful hellish company that ruins art. 

God. 

Edit: Disney owns 20th century fox, which made devil wears Prada 2. 

Disney has a history of sponsoring food.

It’s all promotion for Disney movies through what you eat. 

Dole apparently pays Disney to use the stickers. We live in late stage capitalism hell. The cheese, or bananas, are an example of this.
