Going Green

Apparently grass flip flops never caught on,they were introduced summer of 2008 by Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the UK. Free pairs were handed out to London commuters. I can see advantages and drawbacks to this rather unique design...if foot odor was an ongoing problem perhaps the chlorophyll on the grass would be helpful? The flip side of that benefit might be grass stains left on carpeting,furniture,or where ever you were when you removed your sandals,and what about fleas? Fleas love to hang out in the grass,waiting for the opportunity to hitch a ride into your home on the off chance of becoming intimate friends with you or your pets.
The idea was hatched to create a connection to the outdoors for those stuck in urban settings. Each flip flop has 5,000 blades of grass (wonder who counts the blades of grass?) growing from its sole. If tended and watered they will last over 4 months.
Is it just me or does this seem like something Chia Pet should be hawking?
