World’s First Chia Toilet: The Sprouthouse

Posted on by

Who hasn’t dreamed of resting their rear on some soft green sprouts while they go about their bathroom business? Good news! YouTuber Ali Spagnola created the Sprouthouse: a toilet completely covered in chia seedlings. As far as good ideas go, I think we can all agree this one is Nobel Prize-worthy. Somebody get Ali one of those MacArthur Fellowship genius grants too.

First, Ali wrapped her entire toilet with gauze to hold the seeds while they spout, then carefully watered them every day for seven days until she had the world’s greenest toilet. She then takes a seat to test it, which she describes as “just a little moist, but in a satisfying way.” Wow, who knew sitting on a moist toilet could ever be satisfying?

Ali insists nobody should go their whole life without sitting on a Chia toilet, and I couldn’t agree more. I mean, is a life having never sat on a plant-covered crapper truly worth living? I, for one, don’t plan on risking it. Now I just need to convince my wife to not go into the guest bathroom for the next week.

Gremlins Gizmo Chia Pet: Should I Water This or Not?

Posted on by

As we learned from the movie Gremlins, if you’re going to bring a mogwai into your house, there are three simple care instructions you must follow: “First of all, keep him out of the light, he hates bright light, especially sunlight, it’ll kill him. Second, don’t give him any water, not even to drink. But the most important rule, the rule you can never forget, no matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs, never feed him after midnight.”

That all said, I’m not sure that this Gremlins Gizmo Chia Pet is a good idea. After all, you have to water it and give it sunlight if you want its greenery to grow.

Do the Chia Pet people want all hell to break loose? I mean all of a sudden, you’re gonna have tiny chia mogwai popping off of Gizmo’s back, and pretty soon you’ll have a hundred of these things taking over your kitchen. Perhaps it would be a better idea just to leave him sitting there looking cute and avoid the urge to use your green thumb. If you do by some chance decide to water your Gizmo Chia Pet, remember to keep him out of the direct sun or you’ll kill him in your efforts to make your plant grow. Did that rule ever make you wonder if mogwai were vampires? Can mogwai see their own reflections? Do they hate garlic?

And yes. Never, ever feed him after midnight, or your terracotta planter and its offspring will turn into evil gremlins and wreak havoc on your entire neighborhood. Though the idea of a striped gremlin with a chia plant mohawk does sound kind of cool.

Baby Yoda Gets a Chia Pet Space Stroller

Posted on by

Who doesn’t love Baby Yoda? He’s adorable, inquisitive, and a little badass. We also don’t know anything about where he came from or why he has his abilities, which makes him a bit mysterious. Eventually, I’m sure these things will be revealed, and hopefully he’ll continue to be as cute as the day we first laid eyes on him. But even if he does eventually grow up to look like Original Yoda, you can keep his youthful spirit alive right on your desktop with The Child Chia Pet.

It looks just like the Baby Yoda we all know and love, except this little guy is terracotta orange instead of green. Once your plants have sprouted, The Child will be nestled snug as a bug in a rug beneath a living green blanket.

The set includes the Baby Yoda planter, along with enough Chia seeds for three plantings, which will reach their potential in a week or two. Entertainment Earth is taking pre-orders for The Child Chia Pet for $19.99, with orders starting to ship this July. Here, this is the way.

It’s that time of year again when we dress up like scary monsters and extort candy from our neighbors. Many people like to decorate for Halloween and for those people we have something new. Zombie chia pets will fit in perfectly with all of your other spooky decor.

There are three versions: An arm reaching up out of a grave, Lifeless Lisa, or Creepy Holden. I would just buy all three and have a nice green zombie garden.

These are pretty cool, but what about a Poison Ivy Chia pet. Seems like a no brainer and the folks that make the kind of money Batman would approve.
