A news reporter in Maine discovered a journalist’s dream while interviewing a grandma who is making a killing, actually a crapload, selling art made of moose poop. Finally, it’s alright to tell someone their gift looks like a piece of shit.
Mary Winchenbach, proud owner of Tirdy Works, makes a living off selling homemade arts and crafts outfit comprised entirely of moose turds. Mom always said to never look a piece of moose poop art in the mouth, but we figured she was kidding.
Instead of a cuckoo clock, Winchenbach has created a “poo-poo clock,” the holiday gift that says, “I had to get you something, you POS.”
And don’t forget to pick up a fresh batch of “fecal people.”

Below is the news clip, a work of art in my humble opinion. The original Facebook video has over 10 million views.
“Everyone takes a crap,” says Winchenbach, who encourages everyone to try her “shitty products.”
“When a moose takes a dump, they’ll crap out between 200 and 400 turds. So it’s like I get five bucks a turd for these things, so I get jumping up and down, and I get excited when I see a turd,” she says.
And to no surprise, since this news story went viral Winchenbach’s business has really exploded, so to speak.
