[[INTRODUCTION]]
The relationship between American cheese consumption and corporate financial performance has long been an enigma in both the culinary and economic realms, provoking curiosity and skepticism alike. Despite their apparent disparity, the luscious world of creamy, processed cheese slices and the cerebral domain of algorithms and search engine dominance have been linked, albeit tentatively, in the annals of popular culture and scholarly discourse.
Historically, the influence of American cheese on the fiscal health of global corporations has been overlooked, overshadowed by more conventional factors such as market demand, technological advancements, and global economic conditions. However, recent anecdotal evidence and murmurs within the blogosphere have suggested an unforeseen connection between American cheese and the staggering profits of a certain ubiquitous internet company.
The present study aims to probe this purported association with a meticulous and systematic approach, applying a rigorous statistical analysis to disentangle the complex web of potential causative factors and confounding variables. Leveraging extensive datasets from the USDA and Statista, encompassing a span of two decades, the research team sought to unveil the veracity of the speculated bond between American cheese consumption and Google's Annual Global Revenue.
Indeed, the preliminary findings yielded a coefficient of correlation that seized the attention of the entire research cohort, with a value of 0.9638770 and a statistically significant p-value below 0.01, defying initial expectations and prompting fervent discussions and raised eyebrows among the academic circles involved. The implications of these results, though far-reaching, remain perplexing, raising intriguing questions about the underlying mechanisms that could underpin such an unexpected affiliation.
As we delve into the multifaceted layers of this unlikely alliance, it becomes evident that the intertwining of these ostensibly distinct entities may hold implications that extend beyond the mere intersection of gastronomic delights and corporate prowess. As our foray into this uncharted terrain unfolds, the enigmatic relationship between American cheese and Google's financial fortunes beckons further investigation, inviting scholars to contemplate the unfathomable ways in which the world of dairy and the digital domain may intertwine.
The perplexing connection revealed by our analysis serves as a stark reminder of the unconventional pathways through which economic forces may manifest, prompting us to reflect on the intriguing aphorism, "cheddar makes everything better," which now seems to extend its influence even to the digital landscape. As we navigate through the intricate labyrinth of associations and correlations, the implications of our findings may not only illuminate the curious bond between American cheese and corporate prosperity but also redefine the contours of synergy in an increasingly interlinked global economy.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The investigation into the purported relationship between American cheese consumption and Google's Annual Global Revenue represents a substantial departure from conventional economic analyses. While the entanglement of these two seemingly incongruent entities may defy logic and strain the bounds of credulity, the extant literature provides a foundation for this unexpected inquiry.
Smith et al. (2014) assert that the correlation between gastronomic trends and corporate financial performance remains an underexplored domain within economic scholarship. Similarly, Doe and Jones (2018) remark that unconventional factors, such as cultural phenomena and consumer behavior, may exert unforeseen influences on the market dynamics of multinational corporations. However, the examination of a direct nexus between American cheese consumption and the fiscal fortunes of a technology behemoth such as Google remains scarce in the scholarly sphere.
Moving beyond the realm of conventional economic discourse, the present investigation draws insights from a nuanced examination of culinary trends and their enigmatic manifestations in the corporate arena. In "The Economics of Cheese: A Gouda Guide to Dairy Dynamics" by von Meltzer (2016), the author articulates the profound impact of cheese consumption on societal structures and consumer preferences, laying the groundwork for an expanded understanding of the potential influence of such gustatory inclinations on larger economic phenomena.
In a departure from traditional economic texts, the fictitious work "The Sinister Science of Swiss: How Cheese Dictates Destiny" by Cheddar, Brie, and Roquefort (2019) delves into the whimsical and whimsically exaggerated world of cheese-related conspiracies, providing an offbeat yet thought-provoking exploration of the interconnectedness between dairy delicacies and global hegemony. The satirical treatment of this subject matter offers a departure from the conventional scholarly rigueur, challenging readers to consider the unorthodox and unexplored avenues of economic inquiry.
Furthermore, anecdotal evidence gleaned from the blogosphere and social media platforms has contributed to the discourse surrounding the unlikely entwining of American cheese and Google's financial trajectories. A Twitter user, @CheeseEnthusiast47, mused that "perhaps Google's algorithm finds inspiration in the nuanced flavors of American cheese, leading to superior search results," prompting a mixture of amusement and bewilderment within the digital enclave. Similarly, a Reddit thread titled "Cheese, Please: A Quest for Profitable Palates" featured a lively debate on the potential synergies between dairy products and corporate profitability, underscoring the pervasive curiosity surrounding this peculiar confluence.
The confluence of these diverse sources, ranging from erudite treatises to whimsical works of fiction and informal online conversations, underscores the multidimensionality of this perplexing association. As the investigation unfolds, the interplay between serious scholarly inquiry and the lighthearted musings of cheese aficionados offers a captivating tapestry for unraveling the mysteries of the enigmatic bond between American cheese consumption and Google's Annual Global Revenue.

See what else correlates with Google's Annual Global Revenue
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.
r2 = 0.9290588 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 92.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google's Annual Global Revenue) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., American cheese consumption) over the 20 years from 2002 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.7E-12. 0.0000000000087235793658296860
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.
But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.
Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.96 in 8.7E-10% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 114,631,845,263 random variables You don't actually need 114 billion variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.
p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.
In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.
Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 19 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 19 because we have two variables measured over a period of 20 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.
[ 0.91, 0.99 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.
This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!
All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.
Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works
- Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
- Lack of causal connection: There is probably
Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied. - Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple
Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is. - Y-axis doesn't start at zero: I truncated the Y-axes of the graph above. I also used a line graph, which makes the visual connection stand out more than it deserves.
Nothing against line graphs. They are great at telling a story when you have linear data! But visually it is deceptive because the only data is at the points on the graph, not the lines on the graph. In between each point, the data could have been doing anything. Like going for a random walk by itself!
Mathematically what I showed is true, but it is intentionally misleading. Below is the same chart but with both Y-axes starting at zero.
