The Washington Nationals gave out Bryce Harper Chia Pets as a promotional giveaway on Tuesday, and fans are struggling to replicate his image.
Don’t get us wrong. The actual sculpted Chia product looks pretty darn cool.

It’s what is happening when fans are starting to grow the Chia plant material that has us grossed out.

Somehow we’re pretty sure those won’t look much like “Make Baseball Fun Again” Harper.
These seem a bit more like something that could look decent in the end.

Then there is this creative soul, who immediately face-swapped with Bryce’s image.

Apparently, if you did it right, this is what the end result should be.
