Wednesday Trivia Question

What is the name of Zoe’s pet rock on SESAME STREET?

SESAME STREET has, in its 50+ years on air, entered the pop culture consciousness many times. In the early years, it was when characters or creatives would appear on other shows. Nowadays, it’s when a segment goes viral. A few years back, a bit from around 2004 did just that, emerging as a meme. It centered on a feud between Elmo and Zoe’s pet rock. Zoe, for the uninitiated, was introduced in 1993 and presents as an orange three-year-old with a big imagination. Her pet rock came along in 1999 and made quite an impression, considering Zoe’s insistence that her pet rock was much more than – well, just a rock. This all came to a bit of head when Elmo lost his cool after Zoe told him the cookie he wanted was going to the rock. Thus, the viral sensation was born. You may have seen it or heard it mentioned (I know I’ve referenced it at least once).

So what’s the name of the rock many consider Elmo’s nemesis? What is the name of Zoe’s pet rock on SESAME STREET?
