Butter sculptures have become a major attraction at some state fairs across the midwestern United States, but many fans were disappointed to learn that one famed butter sculpture - in the shape of the cow - wasn’t entirely made of butter.
When this year’s Illinois State Fair came to an on 20 August, a photo was posted to X - formerly known as Twitter - of the state fair’s traditional butter cow being taken apart. However, what people had assumed was a sculpture made only out of butter was not the case at all.
