Oh lordy.. that Chia Pet commercial every year around this time just slays me!! Chi-Chi-Chi- CHIA! Then that song!

I wonder who keeps giving these as gifts, now I know.

bettyeanne · 12-16-2008, 09:06 AM

I once got one of the Chia's that grows "hair"! I do not have a green thumb! I followed the instructions to the letter ... that blasted thing never had a hair on it's head!!!

I found a website called "What On Earth", that has some of the funniest, most unusual things. I found a "stocking" stuffer for our 5 yr. old granddaughter that she is going to love!! Abbi loves bugs & crawly creatures! She really has to be supervised to keep her from touching creepy crawlers that she shouldn't touch .... she is afraid of nothing. Anywho ... I found a "Worm Farm" just like an ant farm. She can watch the tunneling, etc. and I don't think it will be the problem that the ant farm would be!!

DENISE517 · 12-16-2008, 09:31 AM

hahahaha remember...clap on, clap off, clap on, clap off....THE CLAPPER. hahah
my dear granny had one of these and the little lady in the commerical reminds me sooooo much of her. She used it for her bedroom lamp light.

Thought I'd share this here. A co-worker showed this to me at work.

YouTube - CHEETOS PET

LittleBits Mom · 12-16-2008, 09:47 AM

When you have 3 teenage boys at home who bring over friends all the time, you need something to keep producing food---what a perfect idea....now they need to invent a Chiapop pet...ohhhhh maybe not..

So I thought I'd educate us on the Chia Pet...comes to find out the guy that invent it also invented the Clapper. hahahahahahaha

INTERNET INFO: ON CHIA PETS
Figurines in the shape of animals have been made for centuries as art objects. These figurines have typically been made of clay, stone or wood.

Animal figurines have also been designed which have live herbs that simulate the fur or hair of the particular animal. Exemplary of such is those sold by Joseph Enterprises, Inc. of San Francisco, Calif. under the trademark Chia Pet. These figurines have hollow, clay bodies in the general form of the animal represented. A large torso portion of the clay body has many small grooves in which moistened chia seeds (Salvia Columbariae) are positioned. The moistened chia seeds produce a thick, gel-like paste which binds the seeds to the clay surface.*

The name was first used on September 8, 1977. The Chia Pet is not a patented invention. Other companies can freely make and sell novelty items similar to the Chia Pet, but the name of Chia Pet® belongs to Joseph Enterprises, Inc.

The first Chia Pet® was the ram, marketed and distributed in 1982.

Who needs a dog or cat when you can own a Chia Pet®? Available in popular Bunny, Frog, Hippo, Kitten, Pig, Puppy, Turtle, as well as the new Chia Head®.

HAHA! Thanks for the info! I always wondered where the name "chia" came from. Now I know it's the name of the seed. It's true that you learn something new everyday.

Glad you liked the "cheetos pet," we couldn't stop laughing at work! Glad it was off hours and we had no patients and the doctors weren't around... It still makes me chuckle!!
