> Ah, crap. I wish you’d posted this in time for me to have it here by Christmas! My daughter loves the Golden Girls (and Bob Ross).

If you’re willing to go out to the stores this late in the season, you can probably buy this in a store like Walmart or Walgreens.

And it’s been obvious for a very long time that the people behind the Chia Pet know full well that it’s a gag gift. I don’t think they even advertise other than at Christmas.
