CowCows

Your challenge is to guess whether this product is real or imaginary. The answer is below in extended.

Product Description: CowCows (aka VACHEMENT VACHE). Created by designer Cyprien Côté.

Completely 'fed up' with seeing cows unsuccessfully wipe flies from their eyes, [Côté] came up with an ear extender that could be used by the cow to fully remove any pest that was bothering them. They were made out of a super-soft material and cost about fifty cents (Canadian) per set.

Answer: Although CowCows may seem like a great idea, they're actually the imaginary invention of Matt Brown who writes "short stories about fictional designers who make fictional things." Read the full story this came from at core77.com.
