You've heard of piggy banks, but have you heard of piggy banks made of dead pigs? Harry Allen has come out with a series of gold, white, chrome, or hot pink money storers that are made from deceased pigs.
This is by no means your average piggy bank, as the luxe gold version will set you back $190--and your friends and neighbors might might think you are a bit odd.
Implications - Products that take their names to a more literal sense continue to gain acceptance within society. The use of dead pigs within these taxidermy piggy banks demonstrates that consumers are interested and enthralled by products that test the boundaries of acceptance.
