The rumor dates back to an animated GIF featuring the characters Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Peg Leg Pete in a cheese factory. They seem to be happily involved in the process of Swiss cheese production, with Mickey seemingly poking holes in the cheese.
On the surface, you might see Mickey Mouse making Swiss cheese in an inappropriate way. This is far from the truth, though.
The widely circulated animated GIF did not originate from an authentic Disney cartoon. The viral GIF was created in 2011 on the B3Ta Board.
