Now that we’re soooo bored with the all clever branding and unusual bottles, leave it to Japanese toy company Bandai to freshen bottled water consumption with their new “magic pet” micro-toys, little sea creature gizmos that swirl and swim about inside your bottled water, producing several minutes of pure entertainment. Choose the Jellyfish, Squid or Octopus. And importantly, be sure to sip rather than gulp lest you choke on your $6 investment!
Following, some screen shots from their website, but if you visit the site yourself, be sure to catch the mesmerizing movie! (As far as I can tell, these are available only in Japan.)

I would like to purchase one of these little micro swimming creature thingies. Where do i get them from?
I want one too… but haven’t yet found any source for them outside of Japan… maybe if you have a friend there?
Somehow, I can’t see this potential choking hazard passing muster with the regulatory powers-that-be in the US!
I reckon chocking hazards can easy be avoided just by putting a sippy top at the top of a bottle. They used to sell them on Strapya.com which does international shipping but they seem to have sold out, I’m desperately trying to hunt one down for myself too~
If you find any, let me know, even pick one up for me! (my credit’s good!)
These are still available from Strapya World, I just got one.
