The Moo-Cow Creamer was/is a container for your coffee cream with the head of a cow. Tip the container and the cream comes regurgitating out of the cow's mouth into your coffee.
The first Moo-Cow appeared in 1969 and became a campy favorite of tourists. I remember seeing my first Moo-Cow Creamer in the old Pancake Chef restaurant in Mackinaw City......The waitress brought my coffee and I proceeded to put in the cream. “Hey, look! The cow just spewed cream into my coffee! How cool is that?”

The Moo-Cow was on every table in just about every northern Michigan restaurant, and it was a rarity to enter a restaurant that didn't have them. Of course, the Moo-Cows were for sale as well, usually in the glass display case up by the cash register.

The Moo-Cow Creamer was created by Whirly Industries in Warren Pennsylvania. Whirly began in 1960 operating a line of coin laundromats and car washes. Then in 1969, they expanded by making little novelties like salt & pepper shakers and other plastic items.

The Moo-Cow Creamer was one of their novelties...the reason they appeared on every restaurant table was for selling purposes. The only way they could sell 'em was by volume, therefore each restaurant table had a usable Moo-Cow Creamer on display...and it worked.

People bought 'em and many collected the different versions.
The best locations were cafes and eateries along the Interstates. The restaurants in small towns, tourist towns, villages, and cities all carried the Moo-Cow.
