It's a thing, yes, but I think the novelty of it makes it get more attention than deserved. IME it is by no means common, or the sort of thing you would expect to come across, but it does occur.

Can confirm. I'm from BFE Michigan, and I've heard of it, too. It's funny and kind of fun, but I wouldn't expect the average Midwesterner to have participated it. A born & raised urban-dweller might not have even heard of it.

I'm from rural Kansas, live on a dairy farm, plenty of neighbors in the beef cattle business, and I've never heard of it.
