Cont'd: While no price has been set, he said the most expensive souvenirs will contain a panda hair - collected from the wild - in each package.

Good idea! (Actually, elephant poop makes great paper)

Sorry but this smacks of rip-off all over. Firstly, how will the average consumer KNOW they are getting 'real' panda poop? They won't and can't.

Secondly what happens when customs doesn't let you in the country due to hidden diseases or bacteria that live in said panda dung?

Thirdly, are people really that desparate to own something made out of crap? Chinese products are not doing too well lately with all the safety warnings and deaths but POOP? C'mon.

The ultimate in recycling, find them in your local Walmart.
