While searching around, I uncovered a magic item called the "Ultimate Bag of Beans." This item has an entire page and I'm only going to put the link and the description. Keep in mind that this is a second edition item and has some creatures like the "Water Weird":

THE ULTIMATE BAG O' BEANS

This bag, constructed of heavy cloth, is about two feet wide and
four feet long (the size of any large bag or sack). A character who
opens it will find several large, pebble-like objects inside. If dumped
out of the bag, these objects explode for 5d4 points of damage each.
All creatures within a 10 foot radius must successfully save vs. spell
or suffer full damage. To be removed safely, the beans in the bag must
be taken out by hand - telekinesis won't prevent them from exploding,
nor will working them out with tools. If placed in dirt and watered,
each pebble-like bean will "sprout". Only a few beans are beneficial
most are dangerous or useless.
Just roll 1d100 to get a bean. If the bean rolled has already been
picked then use the one after it or the one before it.
Unless noted otherwise, all items and beings created by a bean are
permanent and can be destroyed or slain normally. Also, the beans will
always be destroyed unless noted otherwise.
A wild magic mage has a 50% chance to control the bag. Thus,
he/she can pick the bean he/she wants. Page 5 of the TOME OF MAGIC
discusses wild mages and has the rule of the random objects used by
wild mages.
Some DMs may want the bag contain less than 100 beans since a bag
probably had previous owners who no doubt used some of the beans.
Therefore, the number of beans in the bag should be 75-100 (5d6 + 70).
The DM will have to decide which beans should be removed from the bag.
In every case, the DM may make any adjustments to these results he
feels is appropriate.
