Report: Man shocked to find one single bean in new Heinz can.

What a man in the UK is saying after claiming he only found one single bean in a new Heinz can.

A man says he's "bean had" after opening a can of Heinz Baked Beans - and finding one bean inside.

Flabbergasted Steve Smith, 41, had recently bought the multipack tin from U.K. supermarket Tesco online and was hoping to cook a quick meal after a busy day.

But the local politician based in Bristol, England was thwarted by a shocking discovery - there was only one bean in the tin. The can was full of bean juice - but only one bean.

"I got back late from a meeting and wanted some food. I poured out the tin and I found one bean,” Smith recalled.

"I thought it was funny - but annoying! It was the last tin we had in the cupboard,” he continued. "I had to have scrambled egg instead."

It said: "Hi @HeinzUK. I enjoy "bean juice" as much as the next person, but when I opened a can this evening I was hoping for more than one bean."
