Wisconsin has several strange laws still on the books, including requiring drivers to yield to farm animals on roads, making adultery a felony crime, and only allowing businesses to operate on Central Time. The state also takes cheese seriously, with standards that Wisconsin cheese must be "highly pleasing" and have no undesirable flavors, and historically did not allow margarine to be served in restaurants without request.
