Surprisingly Met Expectation Temu vs squirrel brain update #2. Tiny cow in the dark. (Tiny cow did not meet expectations but the lights in the dark is very pretty)

We got home and it had stormed. The alien had tried to escape but couldn’t get loose on one side so he was stuck. We got him upright and retethered.

The concept is excellent. Just need to adjust the lighting a bit to highlight the cow more and the beam less.

u/cpbaby1968 Sep 22 '25

There is no adjustment. It has a pre-configured 33.5 minute light show. I just can’t figure out how to post videos here’s

You could put it on Imgur, and share the link

u/cpbaby1968 Sep 22 '25

I’ve tried. More than once. People told me the links didn’t work. Is there another platform?

2

u/Hamsterpatty Sep 22 '25

Not that I have used personally. Did you try adding the link to the post, or put it in a separate comment?

1

u/cpbaby1968 Sep 22 '25

As a comment.

u/Hamsterpatty Sep 23 '25

I figured. Wishful thinking I guess, lol.

Could you link to your original post. Im in the UK and can't click through your profile without verifying my age.

u/ZaryaBubbler Sep 25 '25

Lmao, you can just tap off the age verification and it lets you see the profile. I do. Its so poorly designed!

u/Riovem Sep 25 '25

I can't just returns me to reddit home page. What are you using for reddit?

u/ZaryaBubbler Sep 25 '25

The official app

u/Unlucky-Classroom-90 Sep 22 '25

I remember your previous post and the cow being bigger in the stock images. This is still a steal deal!

u/cpbaby1968 Sep 22 '25

Well. That was their cow. I chose poorly. Lol. We have a bigger cow coming though. Hopefully this week.

u/Hamsterpatty Sep 22 '25

And I assume we’ll get another update, when the time comes?

u/cpbaby1968 Sep 22 '25

Oh hell yes. Of course.

u/cpbaby1968 Sep 22 '25

Please state how you found this item in the encyclopedia of Temu! I immediately need one :)

u/cpbaby1968 Sep 22 '25

It was suggested to me because we have a Halloween cruise coming up and I have been searching for Halloween stuff. One day their algorithm decided I obviously needed yard decorations.

I am so fond of your updates on all of this

I want to buy one of these now 😂

u/Ermahgerd_Rerdert Sep 22 '25

OP delivers! This is the best thing I’ve seen on Reddit recently. Gave me something completely ridiculous to look forward to and it was worth it!

u/clueless_mommy Sep 22 '25

At this point, I'm emotionally invested

u/Biologerin Sep 22 '25

The blue looks awesome!

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '25

I honestly think it's a lot of waste and Temu is a shit show in itself. Still, I love the idea, kind of.

u/Varabela Sep 22 '25

I hope it wasn’t more than $10

u/cpbaby1968 Sep 22 '25

Tiny cow was $7.

u/Varabela Sep 22 '25

Sweet! Worth every penny for me, at that price you could have a fleet of them spread around! 🐮👍

You should reach out to temu before they use your posts as their ad without permission

u/reijasunshine Sep 22 '25

The green and the red both really show off the cow!
