Squeeze the pod and the middle bean pops out with one of 12 random faces printed on it.

I love snacking on edamame! They are basically boiled baby soybeans still in the pod that pop out when you squeeze them. Actually, they more than pop out, they kind of shoot out of the pod with the slightest bit of pressure and are a total blast to munch on. Well, now you relive the pure joy of popping little soybean snacks out of their pods with the cool new Japanese Popping Edamame Keychain ($10).

Simply squeeze the little pod and one of three tiny bean pops out, let go and they suck back in, now repeat until you are completely content, stress free and smiling. If that wasn't fun enough, the middle bean has 12 random faces to up the cute factor to inifinity. Sure, endlessly popping beans with this crazy simulator may be addictive fun, but it's simply not as tasty as the real thing. If you haven't tried edamame before, put it on your must try list.

Each Japanese Popping Edamame Keychain has three beans. The end beans are small and immature. The middle bean, however, has one of 12 random faces printed on it. Why? We don't know, but there is nothing like the smile it puts on your face. And the beans are connected to some sort of elastic band, so they pop back in to be popped again as many times as you want. It sounds silly, but trust us, these things are highly addictive. They are also a great way to keep your fingers busy during boring meetings and your mood positive - because no one can frown when their edamame smiles.

This is a VERY cute little bean pod! i want it so badly!! i heard it's addicting
