Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

We all may have different tastes as far as our food preferences are concerned but sometimes, it’s just necessary to crack open a can of beans and enjoy.

A man in the UK recently opened his can of Heinz baked beans and was not happy with what he found.

His name is Steve Smith and he has a local council member in Bristol. He said that he: “got back late from a residents’ meeting and wanted some food” according to Yahoo.

He was excited about digging into a nice can of baked beans but was upset one he only found one bean in the entire can.

He purchased the multi-pack 10 of baked beans from Tesco online. It turns out that the can mostly had ‘bean juice’ and only one bean inside.

”I poured out the tin and I found one bean,” Smith told the outlet. “I thought it was funny but annoying! It was the last tin we had in the cupboard.”

Smith revealed he “had to have scrambled egg instead.”

He was understandably upset over the discovery so he posted a video and tagged Heinz on twitter.

“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 wrote.

It took almost no time for Heinz to respond.

“Hi Steve, sorry to see this, please DM us your details and codes from underneath the can, thanks,” the company wrote back.

According to a Heinz spokesman, there are about 465 beans in a typical can of baked beans.

This certainly was an inconvenience for Smith but now that he shared the experience on twitter, he has felt a bit of ‘light relief’.

“I’ve had more interest this morning than in any of the actual issues I’ve worked on as a Councillor,” he added.
