Golden Girls Chia Pets

threecees — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 16:28:02 GMT

I just saw a commercial on t.v. for these. The Golden Girls are still so popular with their cereal and now Chia Pets.

I don't know about you, but I think they are scary looking. I would never buy these.

Our kids have had Chia Pets in the past, one was Spongebob and the other

was Shrek. They will probably be half price after the holidays in the store. I

think when we got our they were from Rite-Aid.

@Bri369 I think some people will buy everything and anything when it comes to their favorite show or whatever. Not sure about these though. Imagine having company

over and seeing one of these growing.

Don't care for them.

Was thinking the other day.....haven't seen any chia pet commercials this year. Walgtreen's always sold them. I have never purchased any of them.

My sister's employer (a major news organization) one year gave out Chia pets to their employees as holiday gifts. It is a day that still lives in infamy.

Golden Girls was a pretty good show, and I suppose it lives on in reruns. But I can't believe anyone would buy these. Actually, I can't believe anyone would buy a chia pet. It seems like a fad whose time should have gone long ago.

@ValuSkr Yes, the ones we had in the past didn't even grow well. At least with

Shrek he is meant to be green.

Crazy ideas, can't believe anyone gives somethings like this, maybe only as

gag gifts.

@ShowMe She does! It was almost two decades ago and it still comes up as one of her most breathtaking employer Christmas parties. No checks that I remember her mentioning. Just the party and a pile of Chia pets with an annoucement to grab one for yourself.

I would imagine young kids would be terrified of these, not knowing who these

Golden Girls are. Just scary heads on a windowsill or somewhere.

Here is Shrek, the one we had.

Also Spongebob

@ShowMe Nope! She and her coworkers had a good laugh though. To this day!

Those things are so ugly. Cannot believe they still make them. I don't know anyone that would want one. No doubt if we were still buying Christmas gifts one of these is guaranteed to come my way & in the trash it would go. LOL!!! I received those multiple times as gifts. I never bought anyone a crappy gift or what I thought was crappy.

Don't care for this at all. Unless the actors all consented to this, (before they died, in 3 of the 4 cases) this is no good. I'll bet they got around the whole consent thing because technically, the heads are of the characters, not the actors. That line is pretty grey.

@kittyloo Look at that big ole bowl of blue cereal.

Purple on box, maybe turns blue or other colors of the rainbow too.
