Chia Obama Finds Home On CVS Shelves



If you are easily offended ... This story isn't for you.

Finally it's back. I was delighted that Walgreens was going to sell this along with all the other cheesy Chia gifts. I've never given one nor received one.

BUT they pulled them from test areas before I could I get one... "because it's racist" or some such nonsense.

I have gotta get me one of these!

The Chia Obama is making a comeback on drug store shelves, more than five months after Walgreens yanked it over concerns that it might offend customers.

CVS stores began stocking the special edition Chia in select markets this week, according to the company that produces it -- just in time for the holiday season.

"This is what we wanted to do all along," said Michael Hirsch, vice president at Joseph Enterprises. "We're pretty excited."

The Chia Obama is a bust of the 44th president with sprouting grass-like "hair" in the tradition of the classic Chia Pet.

The product appears to be back on track after the dust-up with Walgreens in April, when the company dropped it over concerns that it could be subject to "misinterpretation."
