About 4 weeks ago at a Dollar General or some other train wreck store. I bought a plant in a can that was slighlty smaller than a pop can. On one side it had a tab that you pulled back like a pop can and on the other was a tab that you pulled back like on a sardine can. I have watered it and it has grown like crazy. The problem is I don't know what it is. It started blooming about one week after watering and has two leaves at the bottom about 3 inches long. It is still growing upward like a vine with two smaller leaves appearng about every 3 inches or so. On the can it said it would tell my fortune. It had some words kinda burned into a bean pod but those fell off as it grew. Any ideas as to what it is. It likes Full sunlight and alot of water. Thanks in advance. It is still going strong.
I bought a plant in a can ..what kind is it???
I don't really have any idea. I'd do a lot better if you could post a picture of it.
EDIT: Is this it?

If so, it appears to be some kind of bean, precisely what kind I don't know. There appear to be other people on the Internet with the same question as you, and I can't find an answer anywhere.
EDIT: I noticed you weren't accepting Yahoo 360 messages, so I'll post my reply here:
The good thing is, I found some pictures of it:

As for the message, apparently they do that by burning it onto the outside of the seed, so that when it comes up it pushes the message up too. The message will probably disappear eventually. Also, apparently the stamp with the word 'love' on it burns too deeply, so 'love' beans don't germinate as often as the other ones do (so far I've also heard of 'peace', '$' and 'long life' beans). According to

you can now buy similar plants with a customized message on them.
Getting down to the species of plant, I still don't know. I checked the first six pages Google gave me on "magic sproutz" (with the quote marks), and while a number of people had asked the same question as you, NO ONE knew what the plant really was! Whether or not this indicates a secret government plot to mind control us using genetically engineered beans I don't know. At any rate, the general consensus is that it's a bean, it grows fast and it's cute. So far no one seems to have actually harvested any seeds from it, which is unfortunate as it would give us a much better idea what type of bean it is.
In fact, here's an idea: Try transplanting yours (with its dirt) to a larger pot once it gets too big, and let it continue to grow until it makes some bean pods. Then remove a mature bean pod, photograph it, take out some of the beans and photograph them too. This would do a good job of eliminating a number of common bean species. Who knows? Maybe you'll be the one to find the answer to this horticultural mystery! :P
