Man 'annoyed' to find ONE baked bean in Heinz tin bought from Tesco

A Bristol man says he's "bean had" after opening a can of Heinz Baked Beans only to find one bean inside.

The average tin of Heinz contains 465 beans, so Steve Smith was flabbergasted to find a near-empty tin in his shopping.

Mr Smith, 41, had bought the multipack tin from Tesco Online and was hoping to cook a quick meal after a busy day.

But the Bristol City councillor based in Bristol was thwarted by a shocking discovery - there was only one bean in the tin.

The can was full of bean juice - but only one bean.

Steve said: "I got back late from a residents' meeting and wanted some food.

''I poured out the tin and I found one bean.

"I thought it was funny - but annoying! It was the last tin we had in the cupboard.

"I had to have scrambled egg instead."

Mr Smith, Conservative councillor for Westbury-on-Trym and Henleaze, said he eats beans "once every couple of weeks".

He posted a video of the find on Twitter and tagged manufacturer Heinz.

It said: "Hi @HeinzUK.

"I enjoy "bean juice" as much as the next person, but when I opened a can this evening I was hoping for more than one bean."

He added: "I thought they might see the funny side."

Heinz has been approached for comment.
