Officials in charge of catering at the House of Switzerland in Sochi expected to sell 40 kilos of raclette cheese a day, but the dish proved unexpectedly popular among visitors and athletes alike. So much so that by day 10, hopefuls were getting Out of Cheese errors. Officials promptly ordered 800 more kilos of the stuff to be shipped to Russia, but the delivery truck vanished. It was last heard of somewhere in Poland. Who would steal 800 kilos of cheese? (And not the good stuff at that, but the stuff that's intended to be melted down?) Someone who really wants to hold a giant raclette party, obviously.
Oh, and we won some medals too.
