The latest fad to sweep rural America. Everyone's crazy for cheese wax. 11-year-old Celine Duchamp and her family moved to the small town of Coldwater, Ohio, from Evron, France, where Babybel cheese, those little round red spheres of wax-covered cheese, is made. She was Trey homesick, so her classmates bought Celine 100 wheels of Babybel as a welcome gift.

She gleefully gorged the cheese, and after the constipation cleared up, she thanked her new friends by stringing the used wax together to make them jewelry. Necklaces, hoop earrings, and clunky bracelets that would have made Mrs. Roper proud.

In a conservative small town, the trend caught on with lightning speed, and soon everyone was collecting baby bell wax and making red plastic jewelry, hats, bags, and even dresses, which one girl wore to the spring dance this week where she was crowned queen. Kids in nearby towns have started doing it too, and it's led to a full-blown red wax panic.

Parents are in an uproar, local politicians are furious, and a Presbyterian preacher got so angry he tried to forbid everyone from dancing, and wait a second, that's actually footloose. All right.
