Is there a name for the English walnut with eyes that's used to promote prostate issues?

It would seem that the walnut is a creation of the Actavis company for the Rapaflo drug. It has been named "Wally" by those that follow the trade (but not by Actavis, oddly enough). pharmamkting.blogspot.com/2... ....

Thank you. I wanted it for a poem, or at least for a sorry bit of doggrel.

"An ode to a prostate"? LOL

My husband would no doubt be delighted that I have assisted, in some small way, to an ode for the prostate. Sonnet? Haiku? Then, after that, he'll probably change the password to this forum. (hahaha) In all seriousness, this forum has been very very helpful to us both. ----- Cheryl

Chosen because the prostate is normally "walnut-size," I suppose.

I think mine was about the size of a bowling ball. At least, its size was the reason the surgery left me with a hernia. I'm not sure exactly what I want to do with an English walnut, but I'll maybe think of something. And I'm pretty sure it'll be vulgar.
