A+R Bloom in a Can Message Bean

A+R Bloom in a Can Message Bean for $16

A message bean? Were just as mystified as you and the hundreds of others whove picked up this magical bean-in-a-can from our A+R shops in the last few years. A word or symbol is lasered on a seed and it then appears on the bean sprout.

Now that puts "your name on a grain of rice" to shame. Only problem is that they only have a handful of canned phrases -- it needs to be customizable. I think "Magical Fruit" would be appropriate for a bean stalk. Beans, beans, the magical fruit... the more you eat, the more you Woot!

Amazing. NOT. Anyone who knows how a seed germinates can see this is nothing more than a seed which has been lasered, then planted. The part you see with the printing on it is called the cotyledon, or which each seed has two. Someone may think these are the first leaves, but they are not. They are no larger than the seed itself, and lie just under the seed coat. I could scratch swear words on a seed coat, and have nasty plants grow.

@digbydriver: Scientifically accurate, but Lord, what a buzzkill. It's a gag gift, probably intended for NON-botanists. Lighten up a little.

It would be cool if it were more reasonably priced or if you could customize it. Imagine the look on a kid's face when the sprout comes out with their name on it!

I agree with the other Wooters...I have a niece who is two and she loves to water flowers. I clicked through on this one thinking I could customize it...ready to purchase. But, alas, the only messages were the common generic ones and and odd "Good Lucky". I'm sure the biological engineering behind this is too complicated to personlize the product. However, they've figured out how to do just about anything over there...so come on bean guys, get a move on!

I swear I bought one of these about 5 years ago for half the price.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
