Heinz has bean (pardon the pun) on one recently in terms of new flavours.
From a Monster Munch Mayo to Spaghetti Carbonara in a tin, their ‘abominations' have fallen short of the mark with fans.
However, the brand’s latest offering puts a seasonal twist on the most iconic of all the Heinz goods.
Shoppers have spotted tins of Heinz Beanz Pigs In Blankets (with Christmas Seasoning) on supermarket shelves and it’s fair to say the product — which is made with Richmond sausages - has caused a stir.

Naturally, some people cannot wait to give it a try, thinking that it sounds ‘lush’, while a few said they’d consider adding it to their Christmas dinner, no judgment here.
On Reddit’s r/CasualUK forum, the festive tin of baked beans was described as being ‘peak Britishness’.
In response to the post, u/fezzuk admitted: "Honestly I’m tempted.’ As was u/LoisTano who thought the beans would make a nice addition to their ‘post-Christmas sandwiches".
u/dramallama-IDST posted: "Curiosity will get the better of me and I’ll try this at least once regardless of my expectations."
And u/TemptressAngel08 agreed that they "looked interesting".

However, not everyone was thrilled about trying the seasonal beans.
A user known as u/miguelitaraton thought: "The “Christmas seasoning” is especially troubling…’
While u/Discopants180 wrote: "Heinz were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, that they didn’t stop to think if they should.’
The product description reads: "Jingle All the Way Need proof that Santa got your wish list? Well here it is! Beanz, pigs in blankets, and Christmas seasoning all in one can. No need to wait for the big day. Crack them open for a taste of Christmas on your toast."
I think we can all agree, however, that pigs in blankets in any capacity is a win.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
