Sometimes they're just trivial: see "Pet Rock".
Not to say that
this
particular project is, although it does look a bit faddish to me.

Marketing the pet rock apparently involved custom packaging design and manufacture, and the creation of a 32 page "Care and training" manual. So not

32 pages and a little package was probably not even a week worth of work. Considering he made millions, it was pretty trivial, in my book.
