  • NOT The Ideal Pet- Chia Pet

    Apr 24 '01
    Pros: it grows
    Cons: ugly, expensive

    Summary: It’s funny to look back and think of the things that you just “had to have”. The Chia Pet was one of those things. The first Chia Pet we purchased was a gag gift for my dad. When we had to put out sixteen year old Belgium Sheepdog, Pepper,...

  • Ch-ch-ch CHEESY!!

    Jul 25 '01
    Pros: Green is my fav color
    Cons: theyre messy and childish

    Summary: I would NEVER i repeat NEVER buy a cheesy thing like a Chia Pet. Who in there right mind would waste 20 bucks on something that just stands there and grows grass and then dies? There is so much else in the world that you could spend 20 dollars on....

  • Herb Garden 50/50 Chance

    Jun 27 '01
    Pros: Chia Herb Garden is useful, I like having the fresh herbs on hand.
    Cons: Only three of the six types of seeds worked.

    Summary: This review is of the Chia Herb Garden, which is actually much more useful than any of the Chia Pets. The herb garden has given me a bountiful supply of basil and parsley, which I have transplanted into larger pots and use on a regular basis. The fresh...

  • Chia Pets: A Gift From Above

    Jun 11 '01
    Pros: Possesses godlike qualities and hours of awesome amusement
    Cons: Sometimes they can be so captivating one thinks they hear them speaking.

    Summary: There was a time last December when I was feeling defeated by the savage elements of this cold world; nothing was working out. I was unhappy with my position in life in every respect: health, orginizational ability, motivation, love, and moral conduct...

  • Silly Pets and More. :) My silly Pet W/O

    Jun 01 '01
    Pros: A pet that you don't have to clean up after!
    Cons: Doesn't always grow well. Messy, Rather Expensive!

    Summary: This write-off is in honor of "bluehawq's" first. She has decided to call it "My Silly Pet". Though we may not all have silly pets, we may know someone who does. Below is a list of participants, please be sure to check all these fine people out. And...

  • A gag gift for sure

    Jan 05 '01
    Pros: Learning experience
    Cons: Ugly

    Summary: I purchased a chia pet for my brother a few years ago. Man, that thing was ugly, ha ha ha ha. It was a turtle sculpture with a green afro, quite odd. My brother had to water it every day after putting the seeds on the sculpture. It grew and took and...

  • Get Real Folks!!!

    Jan 05 '01
    Pros: Great Gag Gift
    Cons: Overpriced

    Summary: Chia Head, Chia Dog, Chia Cat, Chia Sheep, Chia Seal, Chia Tree - there is a Chia everything. These are NOT beautiful plants - go to a nursery if you want pretty flowers and shrubbery.

    These are cheap (not price wise) novelties that grow low...

  • Good gift for someone you hate.

    Dec 04 '00
    Pros: Fun to throw; good "revenge gift."
    Cons: You'll feel like an idiot for wasting your money on one of these things

    Summary: I'm not sure exactly how long these things have been around, but I know it's been for well over a decade. I still remember the television commercials advising me that these were at "fine" stores everywhere such as Kmart, Wal-Mart, Walgreen's...

  • Weeds in the house!

    Dec 03 '00
    Pros: they do grow and are cute
    Cons: messy to set up

    Summary: Look in your back yard or garden ... Do see any weeds? If so, you are qualified to own and raise a Chia Pet!

    The Chia Pet comes in many sizes and shapes. Each one has its own cute name. No matter how it is shaped or what it is called, it...

  • My aunt must of been mad at me!

    Sep 10 '00
    Pros: None that I can see
    Cons: It is so UGLY

    Summary: What did I do wrong to deserve this?
    Did I say something to upset my aunt? Did I say something to her kids that I should not have said? There must be some reason why she bought me that ugly Chia Pet!!!!!!!!!!!

    Last Christmas, my...

  • Everyone hates them, so why were the stores sold out?

    Sep 03 '00
    Pros: It deserves cult status
    Cons: Can't get them in England!!!

    Summary: On a recent trip to San Diego from England to see my friend over the Christmas period, I enquired as to the prolific advertising for "Chia Head" and so on (even the new Looney Tunes range!!!). He explained that there were these terracotta...

  • CH CH CH CHIA !!!

    Apr 07 '00
    Pros: Grow Your Own CHIA PET AND BE THE COOLEST!!!
    Cons: Requires more care than your Pet Rock

    Summary: The only thing that is bad about the Chia Pet, it isn't available year round.

    My favorite "pet" is my Chia Pet. I have had my Chia Bull for many years. My Chia Pet does not need to be walked, fed, bathed, or brushed. Therefore he is...

  • Ch..Ch..Chia right to the trash can!

    Mar 21 '00
    Pros: Fun commercial.. would have been cool had it grown properly
    Cons: It doesn't grow!

    Summary: It's the pottery that doesn't grow! You might as well roll up your money and throw it in the trash can..It would be less frustrating than trying to grow this thing!

    My daughter and brother have always wanted Chia Pets all because of the...

  • Ch Ch Ch Chia Cheapo

    Jan 28 '00
    Pros: Not too expensive
    Cons: doesnt work very well

    Summary: My husband, like many other men in the world, is balding, or as he prefers to call it "thinning". He got one of the chia heads for christmas as a joke. The kids thought it was pretty cool and decided we should grow some hair on dad chia. We...

  • Harder than it looks

    Jan 15 '00
    Pros: look cute if you can get them to work
    Cons: messy, do not work properly

    Summary: I admit, I always wanted my own Chia Pet ever since I was little. I'd always make jokes about having a Chia Pet and keeping it in my locker at school. From the commercials, they looked easy to use, fun, and entertaining. Plus they always looked so darn...
