[edit] Meme?

I think that if this entry remains here, it should contain more examples of the literary allusion "purple cow" used in contexts outside the poem (which should probably also be quoted here like it is on its author's page). They could be figurative, like the theme of Godin's book, or more literal, like the purple milkshakes.

One context I'm familiar with (which might be the same inspiration for the Purple Cow restaurant) is a grape-flavored glass of milk, made by adding grape juice or grape-flavored drink powder.B7T 05:54, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Milka?

Has this got anything to do with the purple cow from Milka? Peter S. 11:44, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that is actually that well-known in the United States, which seems to be where the term "purple cow" originated; although it's possible that the poem was the inspiration for the Milka logo. B7T 02:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] disambiguated from Seth Godin's book

I moved the information about the book to Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable and added an otheruses template to link that article at the top here. Parzival418 21:23, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I am also changing the title from "Purple cow" to "Purple Cow" since most of the meanings here are proper names. But some are not, so I'm not sure the best way to handle this. Maybe separate articles are needed, or maybe some of these terms should be moved to Wiktionary. Parzival418 21:23, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
