Originating in San Fransisco, Chia Pets are traditional Mexican animal-shaped clay figures covered with chia, which is supposed to represent the animal's fur. Chia pets are grown by applying moistened seeds of chia After three to five days of filling and refilling the Chia Pet with water as well as discarding water that has accumulated in the provided drip tray, the seeds sprout, having formed a gelatinous coat that adheres to the chia pet's body. The first chia pet was a ram, but other figures that have been created are turtles, pigs, puppies, kittens, frogs and even cartoon characters such as Garfield, Scooby Doo, Luney Tunes, Shrek, the Simpsons, Mr. T, and the latest invention: Chia Obama!
