Executive Summary:
Our team of highly trained experts (okay, it was just Bob and Larry) conducted an in-depth study on the cost-benefit analysis of cheese hoarding.
We surveyed 17 participants who self-identified as 'cheese enthusiasts' and asked them to provide a detailed accounting of their hoarding habits.
We also consulted with Dr. Reginald P. Bottomsworth, a renowned expert in the field of dairy economics.
The average participant had a collection of 27.4 wheels of cheese, with 75% of them being cheddar.
The median participant spent an average of 4.2 hours per week searching for new sources of cheese.
Our study concludes that cheese hoarding is a serious economic activity that requires significant time and resources, but ultimately yields a high rate of return on investment (in terms of snack availability).
We recommend that all participants continue to hoard, but with a focus on diversifying their portfolios.
