The Cloud Gate sculpture , more commonly known as The Bean, is a staple of the Chicago experience... at least that's what I tell all of my out-of-state friends when they come to visit. Who doesn't love getting your tourist friends to take embarrassing pictures with the random, metallic bean in our city center? I am not the only one who has noticed and commented on the Bean's beautiful absurdity. There is a thread of "memes" on Facebook where Chicagoans make fake events around or involving the Bean. Stay tuned for this list to see some highlights.

Give the Bean a Blanket

Anyone who's seen a Chicago winter knows this is accurate.

Windex the Bean

Let's all help the Bean to treat-yo-self!

What can't he cook?

Fill the Bean with Helium

Bean free, bean free little bean.

Collect Alimony form the Bean

The alimony would still be less than the cost of Beanie Babies on Ebay.

Roll the Bean into the Lake

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
