Manufacturing Error Created A Viral Horse Plushie.

An accidental manufacturing error in China has birthed a viral crying horse mascot for the upcoming Lunar New Year after a factory worker mistakenly sewed a batch of plushie mouths upside down. The resulting forlorn expression has resonated deeply with social media users as a humorous symbol of niu ma a term for overworked employees leading to over 200 million views on Douyin and a massive surge in international demand. To keep up with the unexpected popularity of the 25 Chinese Yuan, manufacturers have added ten new production lines to churn out 20,000 units daily for customers worldwide.
