The post in the Duck Press thread about the Amish not wasting any part of the pig reminded me of this.
One year on RAGBRAI (bike ride across Iowa) a local farmer got the bright idea of tieing fishing line to the removed baby pig tails and was selling them for 50 cents eash as a necklace. They were selling like hotcakes, but as you can imagine after a couple days in the late July heat, you were seeing them discarded all over the place.
To this day I still shake my head in disbelief about the mentality of people thinking that pig tails would make a nice necklace.
