Can You Grow One? Yes You Can!

That’s the slogan for one of the most hilarious products I’ve seen lately – the Chia Obama. My husband and I were watching Dirty Jobs on Discovery, and what should come on, but this commercial.
The Chia Obama comes in “Happy Obama” or “Determined Obama.” Just pick your poison and show your pride and support with Chia Obama! I’m laughing out loud.
It also looks as though Joseph Enterprises, Inc. is looking to create a whole line of American pride Chia products. They ask you to complete a short survey on the site, during which you can choose your favorite American icons. How about Mount Rushmore? Sold as “4 separately sold Chia Heads that will be molded to fit together to complete Mt. Rushmore.” America says, “Yes!” What I really want to know is this: is Chia Obama made in the USA? I think not. For that reason alone, I’m not buying.
Upon researching for this blog post, I found the first spotting on BoingBoing. Apparently many voiced their concerns there.
Now Obama is a big deal. He’s a Chia. 
Regardless of whether it’s right or wrong, it sure gave me a good laugh!
