Mnemonic

The only thing you do with your neck is use it to swallow lots of cool beans (くび). Mm mm. Feel those cool, cool beans sliding down your neck. You don't really taste them, but you know they're there.

Hints

Look at yourself in a mirror as the cool beans make their way down your neck. You can see them, like little ants marching all the way down to your tummy.
