Zoo Creates Ornaments From Deer Droppings The Christmas ornaments for sale at the Miller Park Zoo's gift shop are partly manufactured by reindeer. Honest! Staffers make decorations out of droppings from the zoo's two reindeer, Ealu and Rika. The droppings are dried, then clear-coated and either painted or rolled in glitter. Zoo spokeswoman Susie Ohley has named the products "magical reindeer gem ornaments," and each comes with a label of authenticity. They cost $5 at the zoo gift shop. Staffer Katie Buydos, who makes jewelry as a hobby, donated wire and beads, saying, "Susie asked me to bring some creativity to the table." Some folks are surprised at the size of the "gems," which are only about as big as marbles. "Reindeer are so big," zoo maintenance worker Sheldon Williams said. But the droppings are "just a big pile of small." Source.
They look like regular ornaments, but I guess looks can fool you. I would get them... if they were free... I'm not going to pay 5 bucks for a string of crap...
My guess would be they were going bankrupt or something. Other than that, there really is no logical explanation for this. Maybe they're environmentalists? I'd buy it and give it to my aunt for Christmas. I hate her. Alot. EDIT: Should this be in off-topic? I presented it in a good fashion, and it isn't too outlandish, but still. It's really nasty.
I don't think this should be in off-topic. It's not something that's off-topic. It's something that we can have a civilized discussion about. It's not something that people will often drift off into other things.
O that will look great. Wtf were they thinking what would look good on a tree........A piece of ****. O perfect.
