I remember that some American started selling rocks to yuppies who didn't have time to care for a dog or cat or a real animal, so he marketed 'Pet Rocks' that you could talk to and have around. Daft idea, but apparently he made a fortune!
Does anyone still have their Pet Rock?

Dont still have it but I loved it and took it everywhere with me .I do still have a portrait of it in my loft somewhere that an art student friend of mine did .I seem to remember it mating and having pebbles at some stage in my youth. Oh how lovely to be young and mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Pet Rock craze, if I recal correctly, was a 70's era thing. There was a small revival in the 80's, but nothing to match the 70's...then how about the mood rings. You know, stones that change color with body temperature?

I remember, I didn't have one, I had a hamster, but do you think that may be where the Father Jack thing comes from: I love my brick?!? xxx
