A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

How the fuck do you counterfeit cheese? Do you use chocolate milk instead of regular?
The designation "Parmigiano Reggiano" is a protected designation of origin (PDO) in the European Union.
It means that to be able to call a cheese "Parmigiano Reggiano" a producer needs to follow a strict set of rules on how to produce the cheese, how to mature it, how the cows are being fed and it has to be manufactured in a specific area in Italy.
So if someone is making cheese without following the rules and sell it as Parmigiano it would be counterfeit cheese. Just like someone selling lemonade but calling it "Sprite".
In Australia, we actually do use "lemonade" to refer to drinks like Sprite, lol. We don't really have the American-style non-carbonated lemonade.
You got it backwards. He meant that it's the same as selling lemonade while trying to pass it as Sprite because of the branding.
