A joke about a cheeseburger is:
Q: How do you make a cheeseburger sad?
A: Make it with blue cheese.
The joke has been cited in print since at least 2002.
“What is the saddest cheese?"/"Blue cheese” is another blue cheese riddle. “How do you make a hamburger laugh?"/"Pickle it” is a related riddle.
Wikipedia: Blue cheese
Blue cheese (or bleu cheese) is semi-soft cheese with a sharp, salty flavor. It is made with cultures of the edible mold Penicillium, giving it spots or veins throughout the cheese in shades of blue or green. It carries a distinct smell, either from the mold or from various specially cultivated bacteria such as Brevibacterium linens, which also causes foot odor and other human body odors.
