"The laughing cow" :)) No, I don't think it's related. I would rather say that they first came with the idea of the image of a red smiling cow, and the name came naturally after the picture. NOTE: the last commercial about it in France had for slogan: "La vache qui rit, mais on ne sait toujours pas pourquoi" :))) Christophe. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr Take your life as a movie: do not let anybody else play the leading role.
