Chia Pet has turned several celebrities’ heads into plants, so it makes sense that Hollywood would be interested in them.
According to Variety, Rakia Media, and their film and TV production banner, Crystal City Entertainment, have acquired Chia Pet in hopes of creating an animated movie and television series.
“For over 40 years, Chia Pet has remained one of the most recognizable brand icons in pop culture history,” Joel Weinshanker, CEO of Chia Pet® brand owner Ad Populum, said in a statement. “I’m excited to work with a team that understands both its legacy and its potential for the future.”
We are a week away from Halloween, and we can have the holiday’s scariest figures around with us all year round.
That is because Chia turned Chucky, Elvira, Ghostface, Michael Myers, and a few others into their pets.
So we can spend every holiday looking at Wednesday Addams grow. Although, I need to add Pennywise to my collection because he has the It factor. And for less than $25, he is worth it.
Willie Nelson is such a massive star that he has not one, but now two Chia Pets! The first one has the chia seeds growing from his braided pigtails.
And now the new one is even better. You get that and a herb garden with two pots to grow basil and parsley. Because when I think of the Country singer, I think of him and magical herbs and pot.
Which makes me wonder, can you grow marijuana in those pots? Now that would be a true Willie Nelson pet!
Don’t know what to get that person who has everything for Christmas, then buy them the Pee-Wee Herman Chia Pet which is out now. It is the perfect addition to any window that needs a little something to brighten it up!
I know having him look at me with green hair would make me smile, just like the real thing does every time I see Paul Reubens on our televisions.
BTW Did you know that you can use regular Chia seeds if you run out of the ones that come with the original packaging? I learned that last week on my Buy Nothing group, and I am still blown away by that fact.
Chia Pet has a treat for Horror fans this Halloween. They added four new heads to their killer lineup. Who are they? They are Halloween’s Michael Myers, It’s Pennywise, Child Play’s Chucky with two faces, and Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark.
These are the perfect gifts for the person in your life who loves scary movies. Since we don’t see a lot of sunlight, it is great to have a plant that doesn’t need any.
