Pet Rock
Do you remember when Pet Rocks were all the rage in the mid-70s? For just a few dollars, you could walk away with your very own “low-maintenance” companion, complete with a little cardboard box and a nest of straw. It even came with a hilarious care manual full of tips on training your rock to "stay" or "play dead." It was the kind of quirky humor that could only happen in a decade as groovy as the '70s!
