This is a question Shit Claims to Fame II

My car was in the Specsavers advert with the old lady and the loud stereo. Not me. My stupid blue Nissan Micra. Tell us about your brushes with fame.

Did he mould it from a real dog egg, or from one of them 'novelty' ones?

A block of wood and some skilful lathe work, apparently.

I should imagine they moulded it from the Walnut Whip of Duncan's of Edinburgh given that it was they who invented it.
You'd think people would pay a bit more attention to their own family history. This is why we lost the Empire, studge. Sad times.

Just because they bought the product doesn't mean they used the same mould.
Besides, Duncan's of Edinburgh were only founded a short time before that. It's entirely possible it was them he worked for and not Nestlé. I wasn't around at the time, you see, so I only know that one fact.

It's adorable how you're furiously googling just for the sake of trying to prove me wrong. Go have another wank or something, it's more productive.

It's probably hard for you to appreciate this
what with barely having the wit to remember a simple family story, but most people don't need to furiously do anything in order to open a wikipedia page.

Actually bothering to do so at all constitutes "furious", by virtue of it being such an utterly pointless pursuit that only the most committed of arseholes could summon the mental, let alone physical, energy to so much as make the necessary motions of mouse and keyboard. I mean, what on earth brings you to such petty depths that you have to actually research the veracity of such a minor, inoffensive claim? Are you that lonely?

In any case, I misremembered nothing: I only know that he designed the thing, I just assumed that it was for Nestlé. Hadn't bothered doing the research, you see. I have better things to do.

So, did they mould it from a real dog egg, or one of them 'novelty' ones Doc?

I heard they just dipped a pig's cock into the milky bar mix.

Ah.
Totally going to use this for a question next time I have to set Pub Quiz.

You're forgetting this is the guy who wrote a 2,000 word diatribe about why he apparently knows more about autistic spectrum disorders than the medical profession.

But The LOVELY woodsie, I can do that in a LOT less words.
SHUT UP AUTISMS! YOU'RE MAKING IT UP TO GET ATTENTION! THE DOCTORS ONLY GO ALONG WITH IT BECAUSE IT'S EASY MONEY FOR THEM!
See?
:D

Actually, I was vindicated shortly thereafter by an actual specialist who told me that the doctor I'd spoken to was an idiot. I have a formal diagnosis now, which came with a lovely long description of exactly why and how it works.

As opposed to the doctor in the story you're so glibly referring to, who said "you can't have Asperger's because you want to have a social life".

So fuck off.

At least he isn't taking the internet seriously.
That would be embarrassing.

Oh look someone has
rolled out the taking the internet seriously defence.
Boy is that old chestnut tired

Heh yeh
Like doing internet research and arguing about the inventor of the walnut whip mould, on the internet? That sort of thing, yeh?
