Cincinnati Flying Pigs are a symbol for the City of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.
The most famous stand atop steamboat -stacks at Riverfront Park.
Cincinnati's flying pigs are a good example of turning lemons into lemonade.
In the early 19th century critics called Cincinnati "Porkopolis."
The derogatory name made fun of the frontier city and its distasteful
meatpacking industry. In response, some entrepreneurial citizens gave
Cincinnati's pigs wings, turning the disparaging label into a symbol of
civic pride.

And for pre- or post-race nutrition Cincinnati chili.
