Spotted Cow at McDonalds Drive-Thru's in Wisconsin?!?*

Some Wisconsinites got a bit excited Saturday, thinking a favorite local brewski was going to be available at MickeyD franchises across the state...

Spotted Cow at a McDonald’s drive-through in Wisconsin

MARSHFIELD, Wis. (AP) — Spotted in a car at a McDonald’s drive-through in Wisconsin: A cow — all of it.

Jessica Nelson of Mosinee pulled into the drive-through at a McDonald’s in Marshfield on Thursday and said she looked up to see a cow in the backseat of a Buick sedan three cars ahead of her.

“I thought it was fake at first. Who puts a cow in a Buick?” she told The Associated Press on Friday. “Then its whole head moved.”

She quickly picked up her phone and shot video of the bovine.

“I just took the video of it because I was blown away there was a cow in the back of a Buick,” she said.

Nope, turns out an editor just dropped the colon in an AP story about a farmer who had purchased three calves and was bringing them home in the backseat.  That would be something though, for folks who like the New Glarus microbrews, if they could be accessed as fast-food and nobody has to get out of the car at the gas stations and go into to buy a pack.. 

(They tell me they don't sell alcohol at gas-station convenience stations in other states?  Odd.)
