They appear to be really getting on board with the old baked beans, I can only assume this was a targeted attack designed to spread our tomatoiest cultural export on the Americans' independence day

They said they wanted to bring back Trump, With all those beans they sure will.

I was away from World for like....5 minutes. Suddenly it was all beans.

I legitimately thought I was on a community from this instance the first time I saw it, then I just got confused.

Despite living all my life in the UK, I can’t be truly British, as I hate baked beans.

Aren't baked beans already an American cultural export to the UK to begin with, just reworked for our pallete as they tend to be in a smokier sauce over there?

According to Wikipedia yes, though an even bigger shock is the line "Canned baked beans are not baked, but are cooked through a steam process". I don't know what to believe anymore!
