"Looks like it," was the answer.
That was odd. Maybe not so odd, or rare. I've seen them in various colors, several times in the last week. Today I saw a pair, up close and personal, hanging from a truck parked in the Shop Rite lot.
When did these ornaments first appear? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck_nuts Who invented them? Drive-thru Danglers, Trucksticles, or HitchNuggets have been around since 1998, and were first sold on the internet in 1999. In the United Kingdom (yes, the Brits are fond of them, too), they are known as Bumper Bollocks. According to Ask.com, they were brought to the market by Aston Enterprises. No one person is taking credit for coming up with the idea and executing it. CargoNads (another name) can be made of plastic, and they come in a variety of colors. The pair I saw today was crafted from what looked like aluminum. They were, shall I say, intricately detailed.
As you might have guessed, there are plenty of people out there who are offended by the site of an oversized scrotum swinging from a trailer hitch. Politicians in Maryland, Virginia, and Florida have tried to pass laws prohibiting the display of the twins. Virginia Tice, a sixty five year-old-woman from South Carolina got a $445 ticket for displaying her cojones in 2011. As far as I can determine, Ms. Tice is still fighting the charges. http://www.thefastertimes.com/crime/2011/08/09/the-rosa-parks-of-truck-nuts/
