Reindeer-dung necklaces
Sparkly reindeer-dung necklaces are going on sale at an Illinois zoo that hopes to attract the same holiday shoppers who swept up its dung Christmas ornaments last year.
The Miller Park Zoo in Bloomington will sell the limited-edition Magical Reindeer Gem necklaces for $15. The pendant necklaces contain dried, sterilized reindeer droppings - sprayed with glitter - on a beaded chain. Miller Park Zoological Society spokeswoman Susie Ohley admits it's a bit silly but estimates the zoo could make $16,500.
