The Pet Rock really was a fad and people did buy them

Had one, it died.

In the late 90s the Pet Rock of that era was the Tamagotchi. I remember me and my 11 year old daughter were driving in the work van when a radio station said the xx caller (can’t remember the number) wins a Tamagotchi. Dad you gotta call. Sure enough we hit the lottery but I had to drive 40 miles to the radio station to pick it up. She got to see a real live major market (Detroit) radio station and DJ.

She’s 36, her Christmas present this year if the Star Wars R2-D2 Tamagotchi coming out in November.

Her and her husband are Comic Con Marvel Star Wars Disney nut jobs. Gift shopping is easy.
