Weird news reporter Jeanne Moos of CNN did a story on the Chia Obama back in January but no one seemed to notice. There’s the serious-looking Determined Chia Obama, and then there’s the smiling Happy Chia Obama.

Like the Chia Pet, you water the chia seeds in the grooved terra cotta figurine, and a few days later Chia Obama’s hair sprouts up.
