Ch-ch-ch-Chia.
15Dec07
Check out this piece on the history of the Chia pet from Smithsonian magazine.
[Joe] Pedott began manufacturing, importing and advertising the Chia. Back in San Francisco, at an agency brainstorming session, someone pretended to stutter the name; Pedott knew a good thing when he heard it, and “Ch-ch-ch-Chia” entered the Valhalla of memorable advertising catchphrases. (His companies also produce and advertise another staple of the holiday marketing season, the Clapper, a device for turning lights, televisions and radios on and off.)
Thanks for the awesome commercials Joe Pedott!
