The 1970's had its share of oddities. Besides Watergate, there was disco, bell-bottoms, polyester (everywhere), wide ties, chest hair, medallions, butterfly collars, skin-tight t-shirts, sandals, leisure suits, flower patterned dress shirts, sideburns, and tennis headbands. And then there was the Bigfoot Cookbook.
in 1978, Jean and Boyd Brougher of Salem, Oregon (prime Bigfoot country) created the Bigfoot Cookbook, which came with a giant-footprint baking pan as seen above. A capsule summary of the Bigfoot Cookbook and its history, along with some of its recipes, may be found here.
I'm partial to the 'Stomping Good' Carrot Cake myself.

A safe bet, that, although today I'd warrant that baking pan would be worth a lot more than a vintage pet rock.

<chuckle> Make a cookbook comprised of recipes that all start with "Bigfoot" and then sell them with Bigfoot Baking Pan. OK - it was the 70's so it was good for maybe a month or so; but was probably too much work, i.e., lot's of overhead. Bet they didn't make as much money as the guy who came up with the Pet Rock
