Well…nothing. That’s the point…I think. For those of you who remember the kitsch from the 70s, the Pet Rock was…a rock. No. Seriously. It was a washed and polished rock that came equipped in a mini little pet carrier nestled atop some rafia. Back in the day, it sold for five dollars. Might not seem
