Here’s a fun little item from Japan, albeit a little on the strange side. If you have a Pavlovian response to the sound of a beer can opening, you’re going to love this. It’s called “Mugen Beer,” which means “infinite beer,” presumably because you can open the can over and over again. Pop the cap and you’ll hear one of several sounds like the classic opening crack, pouring, bubbles, drinking sounds and even a “secret sound.”
You can get it in four different color schemes, including yellow, black, grey, white (or red and blue if you prefer a soda can).
You can order your very own online at the Japan Trend Shop, though it is a little pricey at $23 (plus $15 shipping). But can really put a price on that sound?

That is costly. I don’t think I’ll be buying one. I’ve already got almost infinite beer that I need to drink. Crackin’ real cans will be more gratifying. Actually, I just posted about a series that I’m doing about canned beers. http://thankheavenforbeer.com/2009/07/06/yes-you-can-can-a-brief-series-on-canned-beers/
It’s cheaper to buy this item in Japan. It only costs 8$.
You are a real donkey if you pay 23$

you,
Does the $8 include the airfare to Japan? I’d say you’re only a donkey(?!) if you live in Japan and pay $23, otherwise you’re a real boy.
