NextImg:This job will pay you to try 12 pizzas and 24 cheese samples per week

This job is as goudas it gets.

An unbrielievable position is open at the Center for Dairy Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison — and it looks really grate.

The new hire, whose official title is “descriptive sensory panelist,” will test dairy products — namely, 24 cheese samples and 12 pizzas per week for $15 an hour.

“Once hired, we will train you to become part of a group of expert tasters capable of verbally describing their sensory experience on the basis of appearance, texture, taste and aroma attributes for research and product development purposes,” the posting reads.

It gets even cheddar — panelists only have to be available for up to three sessions per week, with one session taking place over a three-hour period — so a total of 9 hours per week.

Canada’s Candy Funhouse was recently in the market for its first chief candy officer, with an annual salary of $100,000.

The new employee was responsible for taste-testing over 3,500 kinds of candy each month and deciding if they’re “Candy Funhouse-worthy.”

And, in April 2021, a company was hiring someone to travel to MLB games to taste test hot dogs.

The lucky weiner would have to judge the meat’s appearance and color and the quality of the bun, among other attributes.
