Cheese

Cheese is a running joke throughout the series with Charlie: he always eats an obscene amount of it, which gives him an overwhelming odor.

In the first episode of The Always Sunny Podcast, Charlie Day reveals that in real life, he is lactose intolerant and eating just about any amount of cheese makes him sick, so the bit about Charlie being obsessed with cheese is, in part, an inside joke based on that.
