Furry Car Locks

Mink Keyhole Cover Provides Animalistic Scratch Protection on Your Ride

Using a mink fur covering around a car's keyhole can realistically protect a car from needless key scratches, while also providing a sensory aid to locate the keyhole at times when it is too dark to do so quickly.

Somehow, I doubt this invention has been a commercial reality, not that it isn't amusing and practical enough to be a success! The symbolism is obviously open to various interpretations.

Implications - Product utility continues to be one of the central focus points of consumers who are cautious about spending aimlessly. When a product can demonstrate that it is practical and fashion forward -- like these mink keyhole covers -- consumers automatically see the value in these products.
