All the memes about those things got me interested in actually trying them. Turns out those light-blue packaged ones are a pain in the ass to find in the US - eventually spotted in the European section of a ‘world foods’ type grocer. Now I’m excited to dive in: not expecting magic or anything, but this much hype on the internet is founded on something surely.
Even made toast to eat em with to get the full experience.
They tasted like… beans. They’re just beans. Nothing special about the flavor or texture. On toast they taste like beans + bread.
You fuckers had me so pumped for that shit, and they’re just fuckin’ beans.
3/10. Sated hunger and curiosity. Nothing else.

I love how its advertising 5+1 as if its a bonus. A 6 pack is not a new packaging technique and its easier to pack and ship an even numbers of cans. I’d even argue its almost false advertising but i guess the 6 pack is the price of 5 cans? But again, bulk pricing is not a new concept and would be somewhat expected.

It gets even worse. They were on Sale too. So I payed like for ~4 cans.
Which makes this whole 5+1 even more ridiculous.

4 + 1 + 1

That’s a standard method for hiding a price increase. You start with a pack of 6 priced at $5.99. You then run a “5+1” campaign advertising this special deal at just $5.49. Great value! Finally, you end the campaign and set the new price at $5.49 × (6/5) = $6.59. Doing it this way reduces profit for the duration of the campaign, but customers won’t be as angry as with a straight increase, because the actual increase in this method is the $5.49 for the 5+1, which doesn’t “feel” like an increase.
