What is a Tamagotchi key ring?

It is a "virtual pet."
Essentually it is a "game-boy" type device that acts like an animal. You need to nurture it and play with it (by pressing buttons). They would beep and cry every few minutes.
I was a camp counselor and a bunch of kids had these. By the end of the summer the counselors were using them for baseballs.

Tamagochi key rings are digital pets that "live" inside a small display area, only as big as the "charm" for a key ring.

I had a tamagochi bunny for a while. It needed to be fed, played with, and to take naps.

Yes, sometimes while I was driving.

If you did not meet its needs in a timely manner, it would "die," get x marks on its eyelids, sprout wings and go to heaven.

Very, very sad.

You could get it to come back by rebooting.

When it was time for me to take care of the bunny, I would pull over to the side of the road.

After the danged bunny died a few times, I got over it.
