All the memes about those things got me interested in actually trying them. Turns out those light-blue packaged ones are a pain in the ass to find in the US - eventually spotted in the European section of a 'world foods' type grocer. Now I'm excited to dive in: not expecting magic or anything, but this much hype on the internet is founded on something surely.

Even made toast to eat em with to get the full experience.

They tasted like... beans. They're just beans. Nothing special about the flavor or texture. On toast they taste like beans + bread.

You fuckers had me so pumped for that shit, and they're just fuckin' beans.

3/10. Sated hunger and curiosity. Nothing else.

    Not a huge fan of beans overall, but I’ve tried the UK beans and I found them more “savory” than US canned beans… like their sauce is more tomato sauce or something, and not like a BBQ sauce or a brown sugar sauce.

    Like, they’re fine, but I think a lot of people expect them to be sweeter and then they’re just, not… Disappointment ensues.
