bean bag : What is bean bag
A bean bag is a sealed bag containing dried beans or PVC pellets, with various applications.
Bean Bag, sometimes called Cornhole in the Ohio Valley of the United States, is a game similar to horseshoes, played with bean bags and two goals.
Circle kick (also hacking circle) requires several players to test their skills against one another and attempt to get a hack, where each one of the players hits the hackysack at least once in a sequence before the hack hits the ground.
In Killer (also known as 'Snake' or 'Welt') the players start off with a circle kick and try to hit the other players with the hackysack. Often there is a set number of times the hackysack must be kicked before it can be kicked at another person. If the other person is hit with it, he is out, but if he kicks it back, he remains in the game.
In 3 Hack Whack the players begin in a loose circle. Each turn a player has, he must kick the hackysack 3 times before he catches it. Once caught, the hackysack can be thrown at any player. If the hackysack hits the player, they lose a life and the game resumes. If not, the game resumes and the next player gets a chance, following the same rules.
In Numbers, the players start off with a circle kick, and each consecutive holder of the hackysack must kick it a certain number of times. The number increases on every success.
Bean bag chairs are a popular form of furniture made of fabric and filled with small chunks of styrofoam or PVC pellets. They were hugely popular as "mod" furniture during the late 1960s and early '70s; their popularity resumed in the mid 1990s, as companies such as Ambient Lounge and Cuddlebag and LoveSac and Corda-Roy's have begun selling chairs filled with shredded polyurethane foam, charging a premium for the extra comfort this can provide. Bean bag chairs are known to bean bag enthusiasts by many names, such as "Physics Bag" or "Oversized Sac".
Bean bags today use polystyrene bead for filling. Polystyrene bead originally comes in a sugar form and steam is blown into the sugar to expand it. It is also called expanded polystyrene or EPS in the industry. The diameter of the bead that goes into the bean bag does vary from about 3 - 9 mm, however you can now also purchase micro-bead which is 1 - 3 mm in diameter. After a couple of years use, the beans within a bean bag will become compressed and comfort will be reduced. You can generally pick up smaller bags of refill to top them up.
