To be flabbergasted, amazed, and perplexed by my friends bean choice

[C64]

I was recently at a friend’s house and noticed they only had supermarket own brand beans. I was flabbergasted and astonished. It has rocked me to the core.

My friend isn’t short of money. She earns six figures, has a 900k house (mortgaged), has a BMW, and holidays in the Maldives annually.

I was there for lunch. I was expecting bruschetta with cherry tomatoes from the artisan farmer’s market. When she offered me beans on toast, I just couldn’t take it any longer and had to leave. I told her it was because I thought I’d left the hot tub on, but I think she knew it was the beans.

It’s been on my mind ever since, although I’ve tried to forget it. I thought about leaving a four pack of Heinz on her doorstep but not sure she’d take them with the kindess they were intended.

Should I just go no contact or low contact?

same with me i usually get the generic brands of these, why over pay for x brand whn presuming they are mostly the same

Own brand beans have beans and sauce. They still taste like shit but I’d take them over branded beans if I really had to eat them. Branded beans tend to have heaps of sugar in them, can’t stand how overly sweet they taste.

By the by, anyone that’s eating baked beans is massive unreasonable no matter the brand.

This.

I’m having a bad time at the mo OP and your post made me smile. Thank you!

He's got the right idea. I don't want neighbours either.

Now I want beans on toast, with loads of cheese on top 😆

I like the Lidl ones - they taste better than Heinz.

I'm sorry, OP. I should imagine that your visit must have been quite traumatic, and left you shaking and crying.

Why bother to comment if that is all you are going to say?

Snap and there's nothing wrong with them. The mixed beans are very nice as well. I'm not a beans snob don't get the fuss over branston beans they all taste the same to me.😂😂😂

😁

Not coffee but Asda own brand decaf tea bags are supreme to any other I've tried!!

I hope that at least the toast was made from freshly baked sourdough bread?

M&S are the best I can confirm.

This has got to be a wind-up 😂

This is not a 'positive butt-sucky comments only' forum. The simple fact is that the OP is about as funny as a shit sandwich and we are doing her a favour by telling her this.

I disagree and I'm doing you a favour by telling you this. The OP's post made me do a tinkly laugh out loud.

Obviously it's meant to be funny and, imo, it is amusing.
Seems a shame so many miseries seem intent on taking the wind out of OP's sails...
Be your own windkeeper, OP!

Hope they are not slow sugar and salt. They are vile.

My Mother could only afford home brand beans. Some of us don't have the luxury. She died alone in a bedsit. She tried to turn her basic bath into a hot tub and electrocuted herself. I'm sorry you hate my Mum.

Beanz meanz fartz!

Why are posters so rude these days? If you don’t think a post is funny, just scroll by or put your phone down and do something else.

That you’d take time out of your day to try to make someone feel stupid or embarrassed for posting what they thought was a lighthearted post is a real pity.

I will happily buy own brand everything, I am not fussy.

Beans is my one non-negotiable. It's Heinz or nothing.

Beans and Marmite, they're my two non-negotiables.

Ooh, penguins. Beans, Marmite and Penguin biscuits. They're my 3 non-negotiables.

Beans, marmite, penguin biscuits, and an almost fanatical devotion to the pope!

If you could have seen my face when I read your post. wild emotions.
