Got too much brains? Think too hard? The "Flow-bean" brain vacum sucks the extra beans out of your head so you can enjoy a more peaceful state of mind. As a bonus, we will add on -- at no cost -- the chakra sucker upper attachment, which will suck all of your chakras up through the big one (sahasrar) on top of your head! Operators will be standing by for the next half hour to take your order.
