Had suasages from the butcher with fried onions and beans...which was nice

Question is this... the beans were Heinz five bean ones, but what are the five beans?

I won't be awake all night worrying, but thought given Mr Bs employ, he might actually know the answer

I could read the tin, but that would require fishing it out of the bin, and where's the fun in that

[Taxi_Driver]

The answer is simplies.......there were only 5 beans in the tin....the rest were 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Heinz beans are too mushy for me, so we only buy them when you can get 6 tins for £1.

Actually thats not correct.....its all the beans they sweep up off the floor...they havent a clue what beans they are so call them 5 beans 

[TheBoy]

My family have this weird saying that I never really understood...

How many beans make 5?
2 beans
Half a bean
A bean and a half
And a bean.


I have absolutely no fraggin' idea what that is all about.  But its still 5 beanz

Heinz is the only beanz. Anything else is a let down.

Ah...I see you've been duped by the power of advertising, Mr admin man.

Heinz beans are no better than some of the cheaper brands, and certainly inferior to Branston and HP.

Hence the reason we only buy them when they're on special. .

We have about thirty tins at present....

[05omegav6]

That would explain why Heinz produce all the beans in the UK then

@sda smart price taste better especially on toast 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

With Pickle mixed in  Ony get heinz when the tins are all dented and they sell them cheap 

Pattern beanz will do ..

[Webby the Bear]

Heinz aren't the best beans. Supermarket own brands are the best. Whether that be tescos, morrisons etc

[RobG]

Google is your friend
haricot, red kidney, pinto, cannellini and borlotti

[TheBoy]

She's tried me on non Beanz beans, and is always shocked I can tell the difference. Branston and HP are tasteless, and Tesco beans are 'orrid.

Beanz or nothing.

[Andy B]

Sorry .... only just seen the thread.

I could have told you red kidney bean, I've picked them out on the floor and a basic Heinz  haricot bean but that's it. You tend to not notice after a while 

[Andy B]

I'll try & find out what the difference is, because a HP bean is the same as a Heinz bean ...... just the sauce is different. 

[Andy B]

I think you'll find that you're wrong

I do see quite a lot of them 
and these are just in our mini warehouse 

[Vamps]

That's a lot of Beanz.......

[Andy B]

That's a lot of Beanz.......

It'd take a while just to get through a pallet of them 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Imagine all the gas that lot will produce!!

That's is a very small part of the original warehouse next to the main factory. There is now a HUGE warehouse just next door which is apparently one that's in total darkness because the computer loads the pallets & it knows where they are without lighting.

In the next 20 years, repetitive jobs will have disappeared in the Western world with its high labour costs, robots that don't get paid an hourly rate, work only 8 hours, with lunch and coffee breaks stopping maximum productivity will be the norm. Falt

It is only one-off jobs, where it is more expensive to program the robot, one-to-one human interaction jobs and thinking jobs that will be done by humans.

That is one thing that I notice in the Ukraine where labour is cheap is how overmanned and inefficiently things are done compared to high-labour cost countries.

Younger people need to get the skills that can't be replaced by automation and robots or accept that they will have a life of leisure but will to be poor, sad but true.

[omega3000]

Do they give you free beanz or discounted dented ones for xmas 

[Andy B]

Not even a free bean. And dented cans go in the bin.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Beanz were full of goodness back then  All the flavor has been extracted now .

Apparently (according to a tv program i watch a few months back) Baked beans on toast (wasnt brand specific) provide all the necessary vitamins and roughage you need on a daily basis....they concluded that beans on their own where slightly down on roughage.....but the toast made up for that.....so apparently you can have a healthy diet by eating beans on toast every day

As long as you put butter/marg on the toast, yeah, you need fat to survive. Another programme said you could survive on potatoes with butter.

In the spirit of research, I shall try some, as not had them before...

Some one obviously does, but it isn't Heinz. Apparently we used to make for one of the supermarkets years ago, but the only other name on our cans is HP ....... Heinz bought them out a while ago.
