[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

It pays to advertise......the old saying goes. And Heinz spend more on promoting their 'soggy mush' than just about anybody else.

In blind tests ( apart from those run by Heinz themselves ) Heinz Beanz rarely finish in the top 3 and are usually outperformed by much cheaper beans.

But that is the very nature of advertising, it works best on the most impressionable and suggestible.

And which brand you recommend M'lud?  Lidl own brand?

Beanz is beanz. They all taste much the same to me.

If Heinz can produce 'magic beans' that result in  a huge beanstalk with a pot of gold at the top, I might consider paying the extra.

Heinz beans are soggy shite.

Whilst I accept they are not the caviar that a Lord like you lives on, if you're going to eat a bean, it has to be Beanz. They are by far the best baked beans by some margin.  And given that I singlehandedly keep Heinz going, I do consider myself a bean connoisseur

Branston Baked Beans are the best by far

I wouldn't feed them to a dog.

I foolishly bought a tray of them when Beanz were out of stock.  I tried 2 cans on the off chance the first was off, but they tasted just like Tesco Value 9p per can ones.  The dustmen took the other 22 cans away.

Branson has knocked Heinz down to third in many taste tests undertaken since they were launched, and even more so since the latter changed the recipe for their product. That is backed up by an ex-Heinz baked bean fan who since early childhood insisted on nothing but Heinz.  Then Heinz changed the recipe and he, now 25 years old, now hates them and favours the great taste of the Branston offering

If Branson was the only beans available, I'd eat more veg. A lot more veg.  I certainly wouldn't be eating that shit again

So Mr Beanz had better keep all the machines running.

yeah, that.
It's not like  you eat them on their own.

[aaronjb]

Branston>Heinz>everything else

The last tins of Heinz we bought had the taste and texture of eating blackboard chalk.. sorry Andy!

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Iirc Heinz beanz get their distinct flavour from using a hell of a lot of sugar in the recipe ?
Same goes for their Tomato soup I think.

[omegod]

I like my beans nukes to the point of disintegration, by that point they all taste the same

[BazaJT]

I'm with omegod on this one,by the time they've undergone my "cookery" you'd be hard pressed to tell any difference at all

[TheBoy]

If anyone is stupid enough to use a microwave for their Beanz, I concur they are crap then.

Otherwise, to quote aaronjb

Heinz > Tesco Value/Lidl/Aldi > Branson

Richard Branson makes beans? He's into everything that beardy bastard.
