It doesn't exist yet, but it can exist if we want it to!

Suppose you had a glass cylinder with a screw-on lid at each end.  You 
could put equal amounts of dough in each end, separated by a movable disk 
(the dogdrave), screw the lids on, and sit back to enjoy as the dogdrave 
was shoved first this way, then that, then ... wait, it looks like it's 
going to be THIS way after all, folks!  Oh, what a match!  I've never seen 
anything like it before, Bob!

Or you could do it sumo-style, where the lower half of each competitor is 
tied up in cheesecloth to make it hemispherical.  Put them next to each 
other and let them swell; first one to tip over loses.
