●人間万事塞翁が馬っつうけど、
　Ningen banji saiou ga uma ttuu kedo

Mameshiba (豆しば) is a Japanese merchandise franchise created by copywriter and Korean Japanese national Kim Sukwon. The Mameshiba are different varieties of beans (and other legumes) that have dog-like faces and tell trivia. Their name derives from a series of puns. The Japanese word for "bean" is mame (豆), a toy version of the Shiba Inu is a mameshiba (豆柴), and the Japanese word for "trivia" is mamechishiki (豆知識, literally "beans of knowledge"). (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mameshiba_(character))

Starting in 2013 and running until the end of 2014, a series of commercials was broadcast in which one person reads a GEICO "15 percent" ad and a second person says "Everybody knows that," to which the first person says, "Well, did you know..." followed by an amusing (and fictional) "fact" which is then illustrated in a cutaway scene.
