going green

Everybody’s going green right?

And everybody’s going bald.

Coincidence?

The folks at Chia Pets couldn’t care less. Once they saw their Bob Ross product take off they knew what they had to do; solve the issue of human tissue rejecting the chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) when they were applied to the skull and attempted to take root.

They did. Lots of trial and error. Lots of science. Beakers and test tubes and such. Vials and Bunsen burners, you get the picture.

And just like that Chia Heads changed the way men and women looked forever.

Sure, there were some that kept their heads shaved or continued to wear their bad toupees, but their numbers dwindled quickly.

In fact, some people who had a full healthy head of hair shaved it off so they could ‘go green.’

Chia beards and chia mustaches sprung up almost overnight. Hollywood ate them up. Chai Pets couldn’t keep the kits on the shelves.

The effect on the planet? Negligible.

The effect on fashion? Incalculable.

(like the Green New Deal come to think of it)
