You thought Baked Beans were boring? We’re here to prove you wrong! The UK eats more baked beans per capita than any country in the world, roughly 2.3Million cans per day. Aldi sell 84 million units of Own Label Baked Beans every year!
There have been lots of world records to do with Baked Beans but Barry Kirk aka Captain Beany holds the world record for the longest time sitting in a bath of beans - 100 hours!
