I haven't figured out why Extremis has decided to name their sheepskin koozie “Dolly Pop†. Duh! It's sheepskin. Who's the most famous sheep in the world? Dolly, the cloned sheep, of course. (God, sometimes I could kick myself for being so dense.) So, if you were ever wondering what happened to the most famous she in the world, here she is keeping your champaign cool for you. Once again, Dirk Wynants' products amaze in the pun-laden usefulness of his creations. As an aside, Dolly Pop is also sold as a set with sheepskin seat covers. I highly recommend checking out the site to see Dolly Pop and the dozens of other innovative and fun projects Extremis has done.
