(MYFOX NATIONAL) - Well, that didn't last long. Just days after it was made available in stores after only being sold online, the Barack Obama Chia Head has been pulled from some Walgreen's stores, MyFox Tampa Bay reports .

According to MyFox Tampa Bay, stores in Tampa, Fla., were asked to remove the Chia Obama from their shelves because the item "is not appropriate for the company's corporate image."

• YouTube user Samantha Jordann captured video of a Walgreen's Chia Obama display in this video

The Chia Obama is part of the Chia Pet line of ceramic chia seed planters, with the seeds sprouting from where the pet or person would grow hair. Chia Obama caused controversy even before it hit stores, inspiring debate on blogs and Amazon customer reviews about the appropriateness of a Chia president and whether or not the product is racist.
