Posted on 12/18/2021 9:12:16 AM PST by mylife

A man calling himself Captain Beany from Port Talbot, Wales, will be celebrating Christmas with his favourite ever dish: baked beans.

Formerly known as Barry Kirk, Captain Beany is absolutely obsessed with Heinz baked beans – he created a Guinness World Record in 1986 by spending 100 hours in a bath filled with beans.

Captain Beany, 67, even changed his name by deed poll in 1991 to be seen as a ‘local superhero’.

His Christmas will be filled with baked beans, even decorating his Christmas tree with homemade Heinz baked beans baubles and cans.

Suggest guest place Vics to their upper lip to counter the odor in his home.

I’m a huge fan of the baked bean but obviously a piker to this cat.

Beans, beans, the musical fruit,

The more you eat, the more you toot,

The more you toot, the better you feel,

So eat your beans at every meal,
