A
bean character with the face of a Shiba dog is called Mame-shiba. It was
created by Dentsu as a cute new character. Their TV ads are funny: when you eat
beans, you accidentally find a mame-shiba and you can eat it because it’s so
cute. By the way, we call a factoid or trivia fact a "mame chishiki"
(bean knowledge), which explains why the peas offer their little bits of
knowledge.

This is like the joke that was in Azumanga Daioh... Osaka announces "mame chishiki" but then starts talking about edamame... she was hoping people would say "That's not mame chishiki! That is mame no chishiki!" but nobody understood her joke as usual, so she got mad... haha
