They are not hooligans, do not get sick and die. "Everyone laughed, and forgotten, but not our innate advertiser.
He lumped smooth stones on a Mexican beach and began to sell them as "pets". The whole trick was in the package - each stone was laid gently on the straw in a pretty cardboard box with holes "air", and attached to it a witty "Guide to care."
