TIL Wow!

I’ve lived my whole life under the misapprehension that Mexican Jumping Beans were toys assembled from an unholy mix of soluble capsules (the kind you swallow with medication in them) and steel ball bearings (probably best not to swallow just to be sure).

When I was about 10 years old my friend introduced me to a handful of these devices and as Dog is my witness, I never knew there was any other kind of Mexican Jumping Bean.

Instructables calls them Topple Capsules… https://www.instructables.com/Topple-Capsule/
