In my experience in Canada at least the tinned baked beans were awful, as was their bread, so I can see he issue haha

Beans on Toast has been upgraded.
- Thread starter Uzzy
- Start date
Just looked up Branston beans. Still too loose for me to consider it a topping for toast. 🤷🏽♂️
Also idk if it's just me or if it's Americans at large but idk if beans out of a can are that popular. If I'm eating beans, they're usually homemade.
If it helps clear up any confusion with regards to beans on toast (not Weetabix) beans in the UK taste absolutely fantastic. Beans in the US, from what I tried, were absolutely disgusting.
Beans on toast is an absolutely DELICIOUS struggle meal. I'm not poor by any means but I would absolutely enjoy having it for lunch or dinner.

How on earth is that a 'hack'. "Here's a godawful way to prep nachos but also you need to clean up your whole kitchen afterwards"
Yea, if I wanted to make that and I most certainly do not, why not throw it all in a big bowl to mix up?
Payback for everytime someone talks shit about American cheese or bread.
As a vegetarian forced to eat McDonald's for lunch 3 times a week, this is basically what I would get. Two cheeseburgers no patty and a large fry, put fries on meatless hamburger, win the day!Beans on toast is old hat by now. When can we start holding Brits accountable for the Chip Butty?
I never understand marketing like this. Yes Weetabix has been trending all day, but it's 99% people dragging them for this monstrosity.
Doesn't that actually hurt the brand?

Nope. Because most of those people aren't eating weetabix anyway, and awareness/a reminder that the brand even exists, when a U.K. supermarket sells a hundred different varieties of cereal by Kelloggs and various modern posh granola stuff instead, is a win considering how little effort this took. For every 99 people that weren't buying it anyway, there's 1 that goes 'huh, I ate weetabix as a kid and haven't had It for ages, maybe I should try some again out of nostalgia'. For the same reason, Marmite's 'half of people really hate marmite' works. As you've lost those people anyway but reminding people it exists through a dumb catchy skit is why viral marketing is successful. It's a fraction of the cost of media advertising in a fractured TV/radio/print landscape.

This viral bullshit needs to end. I will stop buying these brands' shit just to spite them if they keep this shit up.
I hate to admit it, but I haven't had weetabix in years and and now I have a hankering for some, so I guess it worked on me.
I used to have that when I was a kid, also two rich tea biscuits with butter inbetween like a bizarre version of an oreo.
I'm gonna stick to toast, rolls or bread. K thx bye.
Fried egg for me. Either on top or under the beans.
To be fair, neither is beans on weetabix. Which is kinda the point of weird viral marketing like this.
It was just the third strike, beans on toast and the English breakfast being the other two for me.
Hell yeah I do then I dip that in gravy and whew it's so good.
I'd sure eat it...assuming the mayo and mustard can be removed.
Americans eat baked beans but rarely outside of like a side for a BBQ or in chili. Sardines on toast isn't a thing here either. Marmite sure as fuck ain't and frankly I applaud that. As someone who moved from England to the US, I don't wish Marmite on Americans or fucking anyone. It should be banned and illegal.
QFT. Also upgrades grilled cheese on toast.Boke. I love baked beans and Weetabix but that sounds vile. Here is the true Beans on Toast upgrade:
Weetabix is flavourless and becomes gross when it absorbs the milk and turns into mush. The idea of it being turned into mush by beansauce is literally making me feel ill. There are probably cereals that can be used in a savoury context, but this context and this cereal are both utter shite
Word. Branston beans are so good I won't touch Heinz anymore.
I'm also part of the Branston revolution against the Heinz hegemony
Baked beans in chili??
I've seen kidney beans or black beans in chlii, but never baked beans. I don't think I'd want that much sugar in my chili.
This thread should have remained closed, people defending custard creams and chip butty slander? Disgusting!
This thread is deeply distressing - beans on Weetabix, gravy on what looks like custard creams? Wrong on every imaginable level!
Brit here, had an American Facebook fried confused why we don't just eat chips on their own... so much better with bread, marge and a ton of salt and vinegar. I was baffled how he didn't get it.
On point, good work Weetabix on the marketing campaign, definitely got people talking.
