The product, Pet Rock, was started in April 1975 by a man named Gary Dahl. As he was sitting in a bar, his friends began complaining of how much time and effort owning a pet required. Jokingly, he told his friends that rocks would make great pets. Later, Dahl continued on with this idea, and thus the Pet Rock was born.
