Chia Pet
Terra-cotta sprout planter
Chia Pet is a trademarked terra-cotta figurine that sprouts chia seedlings as "fur" or "hair" when watered.
The novelty item, sold since the 1970s, became an iconic American gift-shop product, often appearing in animal or celebrity shapes.
The sprouts grow within weeks, creating a green coating: I got my dad a Chia Pet shaped like Bob Ross.
