they don't come in wheels. they come in a huuuuuuuuge long cardboard box. believe me, ive quite a bit of government cheese in my life. i wonder if they still make it? probably not. now the government just issues you a benefits card that looks like a credit card so you dont get embarrassed in the check out line when you buy your cheese doodles, cheese puffs, and pepsi.
