Cheesehead is a nickname in the United States for a person from Wisconsin[1] or for a fan of the Green Bay Packers.

[3] During World War II, German soldiers mockingly referred to the Dutch as cheeseheads because of the Netherlands' extensive dairy farming industry.

The Dutch term kaaskop, literally "cheese head", is considered a profanity to refer to a person as stupid or dense.

[10] Along with the original Cheesehead "wedge", Foamation has made other similar "cheese" apparel, including baseball caps, cowboy hats, and earrings.

[11][12] The Cheesehead gained attention in 1995, when Packers fan Frank Emmert Jr. was flying on a private plane back to Wisconsin after attending a Packers game against the Cleveland Browns and the plane crashed due to ice accumulation.
