How to Set a Chia Pet Alarm Clock

The Chia Pet alarm clock was created in 2006 to celebrate the Chia Pet's 25th anniversary. Its alarm consists of the popular slogan played at the end of Chia Pet commercials. Many people find it difficult to set this clock. In fact, some have so much trouble setting it that they end up with the alarm going off at odd intervals for weeks. This is usually because they lose the instructions, which are actually fairly straightforward. There are only three buttons on the entire clock, all of which are located on its front.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
