Heinz beans still the best?

[Cycleops]

I see that the price of Heinz beans has risen to £1.40 in the UK. Rival budget and own brands are half or less than that.
Still popular here but nearer to £1.
Are you still willing to pay a premium for the top selling brand or do cheaper alternatives are just as good or better?
Have to admit I do still prefer the taste of Heinz.

I prefer Branston beans now. Heinz are rubbish.

I saw the price of Heinz Beans and bought HP instead.

Ridiculous price for a bit of flatulence if you ask me!

I dont know they have always made me gag baked beans so I dont eat them. I buy them for the family sometimes though and get the supermarkets own version.No complaints, I'm informed they all taste the same.

When I worked general haulage, about 20 years ago, I often collected 26 pallets of Heinz Beans from their Wigan factory.
Calculating weights, that's approximately 67,500 tins 😋

Only buy them in multipacks when they are on offer. Definitely not as nice as they used to be before they reduced tha salt and sugar levels.

I do like the taste of Heinz and we don't have access to the variety you have in the UK. Heinz do seem to monitor the sugar and salt content.
Here they are a necessary ingredient of salads.

I wonder how much all that contributes to global warming

Do the cheaper brands contain more liquid and less beans?

While we're on the subject of Heinz there's still no real rival to their Ketchup. I recently had some of their organic Ketchup and the improvement in taste surprised me.

Not on Twitter so can't access the content but I'm guessing someone sent beans through the post in an envelope.
Might spawn a YouTube channel equivalent to 'Just rolled in' which highlights stupidity.

I only eat Heinz, but saying that I have not tried any other brands

Bush's baked beans are very popular in the States. They all have a BBQ theme to the flavors. No straight up tomato sauce. In bulk they're about $1.50 an 8.3oz can. No I don't know what that is in micro-deci-liters or whatever you're all using these days. They taste better than Heinz IMO, but the sodium is off the charts.

Well if you’re coming to the States, you could include the Heinz’s museum in Pittsburg. Learn a lot about PGH as well as Heinz himself.

And while Heinz gave up its sponsorship of the baseball stadium , the fans demanded the large ketchup bottle find a place at the stadium. It is now in place for your viewing enjoyment.
