Virtual Beer Can Lets You Pretend to Be an Alcoholic

Virtual Beer Can Lets You Pretend to Be an Alcoholic
Bandai, the company that makes Tamagotchi and Power Ranger toys, is targeting a slightly more mature audience (we hope) with its newest novelty item: a beer can simulator. The $9 toy is a plastic recreation of the top of a beer can, complete with a pop top that plays an electronic sound simulating the opening of a beer can every time you pull it. Every 30 times you pull the tab, it plays what we're told is "a special sound" as a "reward" -- your guess is as good as ours. Also, how much does simulated alcoholism deserve to be rewarded.

We're not sure what the appeal of virtual drinking is, but between the success of iBeer and the Wii beer pong game, it seems like the beginning of a trend. [From: OhGizmo!]
