Hey guys!
I went by Insadong and saw those really cute squishy pig things. Do you guys know what I'm talking about?
Ajummas have them, toss them on the floor and the pigs go back to life. They're pretty cool. They sell for a buck a piece.
What are they called? Who know where they manufacture them? Are they manufactured a bit north of here?
Anyways, thanks in advance for the info!

| If you squeeze them or throw them too hard they pop. Endless entertainment. |

They're made from the same stuff that breast implants are made from, you know. |

I buy those ALL the time; they make for a really amazing game of tic tac toe in the class room. You put pictures of vocab in tic tac toe squares, kids tosses the squishy pig, and if they name it correctly, their team gets that square. This game never fails |

Yeah, those are awesome. I bought one in Damdaemun but I lost it.
It awesome how they can turn into liquid, then back to a solid again. |

| I thought they looked gross when I saw a student playing with one in class. She squeeze it and it looked like it was oozing gross gel. I would had taken it away for the period, but I didn't want to touch it! I told her to put it away. |

| They are cool. But don't drop them on a dirty floor- all the grit will stick to it. And you can throw it pretty hard, but a a certain point they pop and the liquid all squirts out. |

There is a guy who sometimes sits by the Coffee Bean (old Burger King) crosswalk selling them. |

a lot of times ppl sell them around the subway stops in seoul. i've even seen those pigs in china..they're all over the place!
i never bought one though (mostly because i thought they looked nasty), but using them for a game during my winter camps sounds like a really good idea  |
