This guy is really committed to the joke, seeing as how he could easily sell bar.com for millions of dollars. Note also that there is a .bar gTLD, and there is a foo.bar domain as of 2014 (though it doesn't seem to be hosting any content). I run the .foo gTLD, and bar.foo is a real domain (though admittedly not as good as foo.bar). There is no .baz; next round maybe?

I don’t think anyone is paying millions of dollars for domains any more. Maybe low six figures.

The domain is for sale for the right price: https://www.haven2.com/index.php/domains Seems the asking price is at least 1m USD

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Note that `foo@bar.com` is frequently used to get around the email address requirement, so it is not really for testing. I wouldn't be surprised if prominent websites block any address from example.com or so.

But people who know and use the words foo and bar are almost exclusively developers, so they should know better eveb when typing a fake address to a random form. But it’s easy to type reflexively, without thinking, so I’m not surprised people do it.
