Short Takes: Rock On, Anthropologie

If you are an Anthropologie shopper, you’re probably in on the joke that sometimes the brand sells seemingly simple products for laughably high prices.

A prank started circulating on social media recently where wives pull a rock out of the backyard and tell their husbands they purchased the “rare and trendy” product for around $150 at Anthropologie. They begin styling it in their kitchens or entryways as their husbands become increasingly apoplectic at the purchase.

It’s funny because it rings a little too true.

Anthropologie took it all in stride and hopped in on the joke. They posted a video on social media with their new rock display, complete with signage and $1,000 price tags. The caption? “The season’s hottest décor: ROCKS." 5/5 stars from The EO Report.
