Pets rock in popular (?) culture

In the web-based game Kingdom of Loathing, players can acquire a pet rock familiar. Most familiars in the game have some kind of special ability, such as attacking enemies or finding objects, but the pet rock's only ability is to sit motionless. Would that be relevant information for this article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bonadea (talkcontribs) 11:30, 17 December 2006 (UTC).

I think that would be off-topic. This article is specifically about the short-lived 1970s fad toy. That kind of information about a "pet rock familiar" should be confined to Kingdom_of_Loathing, although it might be appropriate to provide a discussion there that links "pet rock familiar" back to Pet rock. If anyone is curious about other articles that mention Pet Rock while reading about the Pet Rock, all they need to is click on the What links here link on the left side of the screen. —QuicksilverT @ 07:48, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I recently read that 5 million of the Pet Rocks have been sold. I also read he made 0.95 on each one. I remember paying $3.95 in store, in the mid '70s for mine. Thew8man (talk) 21:38, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
