Believe me now and thank me later phaggots....

BRB buying rocks for 0.50 and selling for $150 by claiming they're "valuable"...

BRB "pet rock" game is also legit (time machine required)

tbh i'm genuinely curious if any parent on Christmas Day gave their child a pet-rock as a substitute for a puppy or something back in the 70s. I do not mean the parent was making a dad-joke or any sort of trolling ...just genuinely thinking child would like a pet-rock instead.


Around 1.3–1.5 million Pet Rocks were sold during the 1975–1976 craze, generating roughly $5–6 million in gross revenue (about $27–30+ million in today's dollars).

Key Details:Retail price: Typically $3.95 each (sometimes rounded to $4 in reports).
Sales volume: Most sources cite nearly 1.5 million units sold in the initial run (mainly late 1975 into early 1976), with the fad peaking around Christmas 1975.

Some reports mention over 1 million in the first six months. A few outlier claims of 5 million appear exaggerated or incorrect.

Gross revenue: About $5.9–6 million at the time.Profit for creator Gary Dahl: He reportedly made around $1 million net (about $4.5–6.7 million today, depending on the inflation adjustment), after costs, investors, retailers, and shipping. He earned roughly 95 cents per rock in profit.

The craze lasted only about 6 months before fading due to market saturation and knockoffs. Dahl sourced plain stones cheaply (from Mexico) and packaged them in a cardboard box with straw and a humorous care manual. It was a massive marketing success driven by media buzz.

You'd have to have rocks in your head to follow Ops advice.

Those are boulders, not rocks

And some idiot wil buy them.
