“Kid Bean” and “Chick Pea”
Today I made a three-bean salad. Yes, it’s good for me, full of fiber, etc. But do you want to know the real reason? I want my own "Kid Bean" and "Chick Pea"!!!!! You, too, can be the proud owner of these two zany stuffed characters from Hanover by sending in eight UPCs for each . . . bean. So far I have twelve (UPCs, not stuffed beans). What have I made with all of those beans, you ask? Well, I actually removed the labels from twelve cans, wrote the bean type on each can with a Sharpie, and harvested the UPCs. I decided I better start actually using the beans, hence the salad today and some refried black beans a couple nights ago. Some Hanover cans have an apron offer (ten UPCs) instead, but, fake food with eyes always wins over something practical. Look for specially marked cans for either offer.
