    One of the most popular models for the tea pet is the “pee-pee boy”, which, when first soaked in cold water and then showered with hot water, will squirt out the water it previously absorbed.

    My grandparents have these and I never knew the story behind them until now. Thanks!

      I kinda want to see a video of that kind of tea pet in action, but no way I’m going to find what I’m looking for by searching for those key words.

        I messaged the mod @[email protected] if it’s okay to post the video, since I didn’t receive a response I thought it would be okay.
