One of the most iconic commercials of my youth was the chia pet toy. I haven't seen an ad for chia seeds of any kind in a long time. Clearly they still exist but they aren't as big as they once were.
I never had a chia pet as a kid but anyone my age would instantly know what you were talking about if you brought it up. You might even get them to start singing ch..ch..ch...chia!
I wonder if things like this are going the way of the dodo now that the internet is so ubiquitous. There aren't a lot of things can can compete with that.
