20 People who declared: 'Chia seed ALL the things!'

Ch-ch-ch-chia! These plants are usually so easy to grow that there's an entire brand built around making chia pets. Chia pets usually come with a fun pottery planter in the shape of a person (Bob Ross seems incredibly popular) or a pop culture icon (looking at you, Groot). Even though it should be as easy as spritzing your chia seeds and waiting for them to sprout, not everyone can handle the task, and their chia pets don't turn out like the photo on the box.

However, there's a new trend lately, spurred on by social media artists who have created incredible works of chia art out of furniture and household items. Followers on the internet are a bit skeptical about the chia couch, for example, an entire couch coated with chia seeds and left to grow for 12 days! But it's really the Wild West of chia seed placement these days - you really can "chia" almost anything, it seems.

After you scroll through these chia creations gone wild, read about these intensely chaotic musical instruments.

Somehow this Groot chia grew sideways instead of straight up, and it barely looks like Groot at all!

It's honestly kind of impressive, but I wonder how anyone will be able to sit on it without uprooting a ton of chia plants.

This dude tried growing a chia Christmas tree, which is a great idea actually! But sadly, it grew mold after just a few days.

Chia + carved pumpkin + no sunlight because it's under a plastic bag = recipe for mold
