IN the spirit of full disclosure, these beans that I have are genuine beans from the show Into The Woods - they are the real beans, bot some cheap knockoff beans.
I also had another set of beans myself, but then I got married and they were cut off
... anyway these beans work really well in that you can:
-- Grow a beanstalk
-- travel along it to invade someone else's home
--steal the method by which they produce wealth (in one case, I hear it was a goose that laid golden eggs - what a catch!)
-- leave the home and return to yours
-- kill whoever tries to get their stuff back .... fathers, husbands, wives whatever
-- be regarded as a hero who espouses the correct moral position on things
See? We don't have a skewed perception of things at all
