The product page neither offers a video or sound sample of this otherwise Id-buy-it-at-a-gas-station treat.

Nor does it feature a scratch N sniff.

er. um. wut? Why dont you just buy a real soda or beer. You can drink it after you open it...

i don't get it

"Scientists work tirelessly to discover what the hell is up with Japan."

Wow, all the fun of opening a beer without the annoying effects of actually drinking alcohol.

Methinks that the "Mugen" tag in there imparts meaning... Like a toy that lets you do something an infinite number of times that usually would be a one shot deal.

FTFA: "...bubble wrap popping. Then, there was bean squeezing..."

So they let you do satisfying things an infinite number of times instead of depleting them quick?

Great ideas

I'll stick with Bag-O-Glass, thanks...

Batteries and wife beaters reminded me of this joke:

A rich man and a poor man are in a bar drinking and complaining about their wives. The rich man says "my wife's birthday is this week, so I bought her a diamond ring and a Mercedes".

The poor man asks "why'd you get her a diamond ring AND a Mercedes?"

The rich man says "if she doesn't like the ring, she can take it back to the store in her new car". The rich man continues "what'd you get your wife for her birthday?"

The poor man says "I got her a pair of slippers and a dildo".

"Slippers and a dildo? Why'd you get her that" asks the rich man.

The poor man says "If she doesn't like the slippers she can go f*ck herself"

Holy crap we had candy cigarettes in the 70s - I can't remember where I scored my first pack...

Oh they sill have candy cigarettes. They just call them "candy sticks" and put X-men and such on the box.

Has anybody ever officially apologized to Japan for screwing up their DNA with our nukes? That's the only explanation that makes any sense for some of the weird ass shiate they market.

I dunno, this video Link (new window) sure makes the bubble-pop thing seem pretty rad.

/obscure?

sorry, my hot link went cold.

Came here for Alabama Man, leaving satisfied.

Batteries?

Okay, I could understand a toy that has has bubble wrap that you can pop over and over again. It's fun to pop bubble wrap.

But cracking open a beer? The opening of the beer is not the fun part. This toy is stupid.

How many times must this be repeated, they were farked up long before we nuked their asses. A study of Japanese history and culture shows that. If you are to lazy to see for yourself then simply Google Dream Of The Fisherman's Wife.

Nice punctuation, subby.

A new toy offers all the satisfaction of popping open a frosty beer. Batteries, and wife beater, sold separately

Fixed it for ya.

As for the product in question, yeah, seems like all it would do it make you crazy thirsty.

These are the other two products referenced in the article.

Bubble wrap keychain.

Edamame keychain.

With bonus wtf video!

/that video...
//seriously japan, wtf

"Bean squeezing?"...sounds like a euphamism for "chicken choking".

The best part about popping open an ice cold beer is that first long drink. Only having the sound and action seems horrible and cruel.
