The Tesco Baked Bean Theft

beans means Heinz

Yes I guess it is a bit of a light hearted thread, but this is MSE after all, and those 2%'s can add up! Anything MR T does I'm sure MR S, MR A, and all the others, do too. (even MR H)
Thanks for putting some flesh on a thought mark88man.

Presumably the op would not complain if they found an overweight can.

If the tomato sauce is not thick enough for a significant quantity to stick to the sides of the can to skew the results then the beans aren't worth buying in the first place.

i think OP must have washed it out in a controlled quantity of liquid and then measured the increase in weight to assess the liquid residue

Are you weighing the contents of the tin, plus the tin PLUS THE LID.

If I was involved in this kind of exercise, I bet I'd forget about the lid I'd removed.

This whole thread must be a joke, right?

What makes you think that, as with all posts on MSE this is a serious debate after all most folk eat baked beans, can you not see how just a little knowledge can effect peoples lives without these discussions.

I have a theory about this,please be patient.



I saw a story once i think it was in the Beano;) comic,now this might seem strange but there are aliens out there and i am of the firm belief that they solely exist on Beans,the baked variety.

I have heard of many people who have reported a strange light when they open there fridge:D only to be confronted with what they thought was a two thirds full tin of baked beans that had quite mysteriously wittered away to only a quater of a tin.This happens a lot!

The next time you are out in the dark and look up into the beautiful night sky and you spot a strange light coming from yonder,run home and hide your baked beans.

The Aliens are coming:eek:

Yes, I suppose. Beans are serious business.
