Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Heinz tins.

They don't stack.
All the other tinned goods stack. Doesn't matter if they're branded or shops own, they stack nice and neat and secure.

But not the Heinz ones. Why??

+1, @cackleberry.

And Mrs3M will only buy Heinz beans, even though she doesn't eat baked beans!

Whole Earth stopped making baked beans. I even wrote to them to complain. I only have BBs as a stand-by, but Whole Earth were the only good ones.

[I think Heinz still use welded joints which have a separate top and bottom whilst most other producers use a pressed can which has only two pieces (the “can” body including the base, and the lid)]

(I am quite partial to baked beans, not so fussed on Heinz, prefer Tescos own or the Branston ones. OH likes spaghetti and bloomin' spaghetti hoops and only unstackable Heinz will do apparently.)
