Looking back on 1975 and 1976, it's hard to believe that one man made almost $20 million dollars selling Pet Rocks. And this was before the internet! 
In this episode, Alex and Kelly dive into the fad that was the "pet rock" to see where it came from and why it became so wildly popular for a brief moment. If you had a pet rock named "Rocky", this episode is for you. Or if you are too young to remember this silliness and want to bask in the stupidity of old people, you will also enjoy this Dirt Nap City Dead End about pet rocks!
Rock on!
