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?

Marketting directly to the hungry bikepacker who would eat anything ?

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!

(wheat + pulses = 'complete' protein with all amino acids so they have a good point)

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).

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.
He's a very free spirit

Well spotted

. 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

Should take the element of doubt out of a risky fart, for that reason I'm in!

I dont think you're talking about me, but it does fit.

I love cold baked beans

On wetabix that's a different story and a big no from me

Posted: **Wed Feb 10, 2021 3:20 pm**

Fussy eaters.

Posted: **Wed Feb 10, 2021 3:50 pm**

Absolutely, need to butter and marmite the weetabix first

Posted: **Wed Feb 10, 2021 3:52 pm**

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

Posted: **Wed Feb 10, 2021 3:57 pm**

Cold beans

My kids and the wif are horrified

Have you tried it? You'll never go back

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.

Nah, the beans will keep falling off. Very messy.

Yerch! But, if you substitute a Battenburg for the Weetabix...... Could be a goer.

I think it's worked. They got you talking about it
