Pronunciation: [mˈɛksɪkən d͡ʒˈʌmpɪŋ bˈiːn] (IPA) 
Mexican Jumping Beans are a peculiar natural phenomenon that has fascinated people for centuries. These small beans contain a larva of a small moth that causes them to move in a "jumping" motion. While the original name "Mexican Jumping Bean" refers specifically to these beans harvested from Mexico, they are also called "trembling beans" or "dancing beans". The motion of the beans led to them being named "jumping jack beans" in some regions. In Spanish, the name translates to "frijoles saltarines," which also means "jumping beans." No matter what name they go by, these unique beans are always an interesting topic of conversation.
