I love how its advertising 5+1 as if its a bonus. A 6 pack is not a new packaging technique and its easier to pack and ship an even numbers of cans. I'd even argue its almost false advertising but i guess the 6 pack is the price of 5 cans? But again, bulk pricing is not a new concept and would be somewhat expected.
That's a standard method for hiding a price increase. You start with a pack of 6 priced at $5.99. You then run a "5+1" campaign advertising this special deal at just $5.49. Great value! Finally, you end the campaign and set the new price at $5.49 × (6/5) = $6.59. Doing it this way reduces profit for the duration of the campaign, but customers won't be as angry as with a straight increase, because the actual increase in this method is the $5.49 for the 5+1, which doesn't "feel" like an increase.
Not a huge fan of beans overall, but I’ve tried the UK beans and I found them more “savory” than US canned beans… like their sauce is more tomato sauce or something, and not like a BBQ sauce or a brown sugar sauce.
Like, they’re fine, but I think a lot of people expect them to be sweeter and then they’re just, not… Disappointment ensues.

In France we have sugar in green pea. I usually look for a brand without it. I don't see why someone would buy sweened legume if not to cook some asian sweet.
you have never had mexican food with beans? african food with beans? latin american food woth beans? middle eastern food with beans? cajun food with beans? all the best beans in this world and you choose the ones jacked up with sugar probably to keep you addicted to sweets?
My sibling in Christ — half of these, and others. Sometimes you want English breakfast beans. You buy Heinz and they're sweet, but okay. You grab the sugar-free ones by accident and they're artificially sweetened and a crime.
thought you didn't know beans without sugar didn't exist with the wording 👀 was just informing you there are plenty of ways to eat beans without sugar and still enjoy beans :)
I eat them from time to time but I don't really like the taste. The sauce is super sweet like ketchup but without the tang. It's very boring and bland and no matter what spices I add it somehow doesn't get better. Really weird.

It gets even worse. They were on Sale too. So I paid like for ~4 cans.
Which makes this whole 5+1 even more ridiculous.

Let me guess, American Baked Beans contain a minimum 20% HFCS?

Cheap premade ones maybe. We traditionally make them with brown sugar.

The "beanz" name makes it sound like it's an artificial mockery of the real thing, like chicken "wyngz".

I bought the sugar free ones on accident. Didn't even know those existed. And they shouldn't.

Wait? Why would you have sugar in beans?
In France we have sugar in green pea. I usually look for a brand without it. I don't see why someone would buy sweened legume if not to cook some asian sweet.
gmtom@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 348d
Because sometimes you put sugar in savoury stuff? Have you never had barbeque sauce before?
pseudo@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 346d
I get that but what is the issue with not having sugar in your beans? That a plus in my book.
gmtom@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 346d
Theres no issue with sugarless beans, but baked beans is a recipe with beans and sugar. If you take the sugar out its not the same recipe.
pseudo@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 346d
Oh I see. I thought baked bean meant a bean that is already cooked. I didn't knew it is was a specific recipe.
zakobjoa@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 348d
Ask Heinz – there's sugar in the tomato sauce.
