If you were planning on buying everyone on your Christmas list a Chia Obama, you better get on it. Walgreen's in Chicago and Tampa are pulling the little darlings from the shelves because some shoppers consider the Chia Head racist.
This is just a guess, but I don't think the Chia folks are racist. Opportunistic, yes. Racist? I don't think so. Whatever the case, the Obama Chia's are priced at $19.99 and come in two versions, 'the happy pose' and 'the determined pose'. Available at www.drugstore.com for the time being, or until someone else gets their knickers in a knot.
Keepin' it real, Miss B.
