The Bean Innuendo

Does anyone else see something horribly wrong with these products?

This is a marketing campaign that I think may be only have appeal in the UK market. Take a moment to sit and think about the meeting where people actually came up with the idea to market beans with phallic imagery.

There can't be that many bored expats in England that buy food just because its mildly humorous and/or potentially the most disgusting thing that they have ever eaten.

But it's not just the front of these naughty cans. The entire label is covered with fake news stories, all riddled with saucy content hidden under a thinly applied gauze of innocent context. We know what's for sale here.

The fact that this advertising works here might also explain why the banana is the most popular fruit (true, that) and why you can't find Twinkies at the grocery (also true.)

These beans were, by the way, far and away better than the Hunger Breaks. The meat was much more like, well, meat, and the beans weren't nearly as mushy. I would actually get these again. I may have been reeled in by the sexy label but I was sold on the hot and steamy saucy meat taste. Ew. I just made myself gag.
Well, that's it: the last bean blog before we move on to flatter pastures.

Cheers!
