NO! Just no.

Post by Bearbonesnorm »

What is the world coming to. I've just seen the makers of Weetabix offer up cold baked beans on top of weetabix as a serving suggestion for breakfast. What is going on? Is it the fault of lockdown?

COLD baked beans? You're only raising this because we still haven't resolved the stove question!

I was convinced it's Thursday today too!

Sounds like it goes lovely with the breakfast microwave burger I saw in Morrisons many years ago (when such a Thing was new to me).
:lol:

But... Weetabix should visit our stove discussion, so they could suggest to warm the beans, which would make it much, much better :???:

Drown it in brown sauce..?

Maybe... I know of a person (also a BB regular) who doesn't mind digging into a tin of cold bakes beans at any meal time.

Well spotted :geek: . This appears to be a monkey-like diversionary tactic to distract us. I hope it's only allegations that are about to be thrown around :???: X_X :-SS.

Have a read of the twitter thread. It's hilarious

It's marketing genius at it's best. Lots of corporate accounts getting involved with witty retorts, it's very funny

Weetabix with butter and marmite is delish. For that matter, pasta with a cafe portion of marmite and butter makes good cheap camping meal too. Weetabix and cold beans is a no from me.

Thinking about it - a weetabix in a bowl of (hot) beans. Now your talking.
