Is that true? 25 years ago I lived in Alaska and knew a guy who in the mid-70s, before my time, attempted to duplicate the pet rock's success with moose droppings.

If memory's correct, he made/grossed a couple hundred thou marketeing the lower 48 over several winters. Various novelty items, like moosletoe. Had tons of unassembled pieces and moose sh*t in a warehouse, and a custom-order manufacturer on-call, down here. Got tired of the road eventually.

The forests up north are carpeted with the stuff.
