When I hear cowbell I think cyclocross racing, predominently adults.

You've added to my reasons to be happy I avoided having children. I always thought watching children play sports was tough but this sounds awful.

Ha. This sounds like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.

If you have kids, those kids might want to play sports, those sports might include obnoxious spectators, those obnoxious spectators may - GASP - carry the dreaded cowbell.

Where do people actually buy these things? In my entire life, I have never seen a cowbell for sale. Yet, somehow, they’re EVERYWHERE.

Truly one of life’s great and terrible mysteries…

They were marketed heavily over here after the Sale Lake City Olympics. Been burning our ears ever since.
